Day 2

Today has been just okay. Was tired most of the day, got a headache around 7pm and had a lot of cravings.

Last night when I was winding down for bed it seemed I couldn't get thoughts of food out of my head! I was craving something FIERCE! I won't be so mean as to list all the things I was thinking about. I kept trying not to think about it, but finally just gave in and let my self crave and think and dream til I almost drowned in my own saliva.

When I went to bed I had weird dreams, but those may have been because I started my monthly cycle yesterday. When I woke up this morning I was still a bit tired, but I got up, squeezed my lemons and mixed the days lemonade. I actually changed the recipe a bit. The original recipe is:

14 tbs (7/8 cup) lemon juice
14 tbs (7/8 cup) pure maple syrup
1/8 tsp cayenne powder
2 quarts of water
I revised it to:
7/8 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup male syrup
1/8 tsp cayenne per glass, added just before drinking
2 quarts water

I found that with equal lemon and maple syrup it was much too sweet and the maple flavor was overwhelming. Also, the cayenne powder seems to get hotter as it sits in the lemonade, and by the end of the say it overpowered everything and wasn't very pleasant. I can handle the heat, but the taste wasn't very good. I add 1/8 tsp of cayenne to each glass because the heat doesn't bother me and I figure more is better!

I have been peeing like CRAZY! at least 12 times a day! And surprisingly I had 2 mini BMs today. They were very soft, but there was a little something that came out.

I took a nap around noon because I was still tired for some reason, and dreamt that I ate food! I was so upset because I'd broken the fast, but I couldn't seem to stop myself from eating! I woke up relieved because I hadn't eaten. but still upset because I was scared of sleep eating, lol. All day I have been craving all kinds of food! It's driving me nuts! And what do I see when I get to work? A pot luck!! Arg! I resisted even though there were fresh veggies, and I could almost tell myself that it would be okay. If I did, though, I'd be trowing away all the hard work up until now!

Around 7pm I started to get a headache. I frequently get headaches so I am not really concerned and I know it's a symptom of detox. When I get home I'll do the SWF again and hopefully that goes well. I'm looking forward to the flavor of the salt again.
