Day 3

Weight: 178.6 !!! 

I woke up feeling, tired, but good. I had contemplated not doing the salt water flush because I had a busy day at work planned and would need to leave early. I didn't want to have to rush to a bathroom while out seeing patients. But, I was down in the kitchen making banana bread for the kids and decided to try it any way. Surprisingly, I was actually able to drink the whole 32 oz, without having to pinch my nose! This cleanse must be doing something to my taste buds - I just couldn't believe I could drink it that easily.

The day went fairly well. I felt I had enough energy. Whenever I would start to feel tired or hungry, I just had to remind myself to drink the lemonade. Once I drink it, the other cravings tend to disappear. I had a big meeting at work, which includes a delicious, catered lunch. I was worried how that would go. The food smelled heavenly! Luckily, I had brought a bottle of lemonade with me. Once I drank that, I was fine. I got home from work around 6:30 pm. That's when things got depressingly hard. I was so tired. The banana bread looked soooo delicious, the dinner left overs were calling out to me. I was really tempted to cheat, ...just a little. I realized it had been just over 3 hours since I had had my last lemonade. Again, once I drank, the other fears melted away.

I think the weekend might be hard -  when we usually bake a lot. I have learned that you can only do this diet one drink at a time, and that the key to succes is drinking every 2 hours
