Day 2 of Detox

Today went a bit better than yesterday.  I didn't workout today, which most likely helped a bit in the light headedness department.  My biggest challenge today was that we had bunco, not just a regular one, but it was being hosted by a friend at my house!  She arrived at around 5 with 3 large pizzas, 2 gallons of sweet tea, a chocolate and a coconut cake, jelly beans, reeses pieces, goldfish, and 2 bottles of wine.  As she got things ready for our game, I stayed away in the living room eating an apple and pining away for that pizza!!  I was able to keep it together and as I went through the line for food; I passed the pizza and headed straight for the salad, then passed the croutons and bacon bits, made a quick stop at the ranch dressing, but just got enough to get the salad down and then I sat down.  All night as I moved from table to table, each had their own little snack and I would sit down and move the snack as far away as I could.  Despite REALY wanting to cheat and eat some pizza or a handful of one of those snacks I was able to say no and keep on track.  I must admit after they left and I picked my house back up I was just wishing a piece of pizza or some remnants of that cake might be hiding some place so I could scarf them down.  I even truly considered getting the knives that cut the cake out of the sink and licking them clean.  However, very quickly before I could reconsider I rinsed them off and made another bowl of brown rice to fill my belly and curb my cravings.

All in all, it went pretty well.  I'm looking forward to the next few days and getting over the hump!  Hopefully my workout tomorrow will go a bit better.  I have a few carbs planned for my lunch tomorrow in hopes of keeping my energy up enough to make it through.  I also had more carbs today than needed and I'm hoping that will help just a bit as well.

I realize my calories are a bit low, but it's hard to get your calories up when you aren't eating any meat, dairy, and very little carbs.  I will say this much, I'm not really too terribly hungry.  I never get full, but I'm never starving either.  Just a happy medium.  I am very much looking foward to day 11 and meat!!
