Didn't sleep well last night - had a hard time falling asleep and a hard time staying asleep. Didn't help that my 4 year old was up at 5am again. Woke up with a headache, which is really unusual for me. Not sure if it's the cleanse or something else but it's rare for me to get headaches. Stepped on the scale and saw I somehow managed to gain 0.6lbs since the first day... and got a visit from Mother Nature. :o/ Not a great start to the day. Work was more stressful than usual today, too. Kept up with the cleanse as best as I could mentally.
Food - Chocolate Shakeology for breakfast followed by a glass of green tea. Apple for snack. Spinach salad with cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, grilled chicken and low fat French dressing for lunch. Decided to cheat a little and get a coffee after work to help bolster myself for an evening with the kids. I don't think they rinsed their machine out right because it had an acrid, chemical taste that burned my throat. :o( I figured it was karma getting me back for cheating. I'm an emotional eater - always have been. Gave in to temptation when I got home and grabbed some pretzel crisps. Salt and carbs - a definite no-no on the cleanse. Like I said, not a great day. Chocolate Shakeology followed by green tea for dinner. I will say, I did have a small victory today. My birthday is Saturday (yay me!) and the secretary always makes these delicious, homemade "birthday cookies" for staff. I figured I was safe and wouldn't get it until tomorrow. No such luck. She delivered that chocolate-y goodness to me this morning. I was strong, though, and resisted temptation. I put it in the freezer at school to save for tomorrow. Small victories!
Exercise - Got in a 1.6 mile walk at school and a few trips around the grocery store this afternoon. Very lethargic feeling today. I'd planned on doing a little something today but by the time I got home from work and grocery shopping and got the kids unloaded and settled in with all needs met, I was exhausted! :op
Mood - Overall ok. I was tired from lack of sleep, stressful day at work and dealing with the little ones alone for almost 6 hours this evening while my husband was at work. Survived though. :o) Looking forward to being able to eat again tomorrow. Seems all of the commercials are suddenly food related!!
