Day 2

Notes on Day 2:

• SLEEP
  My sleep the night after Day 1 was great! I went to bed very easily around 10pm and woke up to my alarm clock at 6am. The best part was when I woke up, I got up so easily. I couldn't believe how refreshed I felt. I'm always a little groggy in the morning, but not this morning. I'm very impressed.
• TASTE
  The Day 2 drink tasted way better than Day 1. I'm thinking maybe I messed up the amounts of ingredients in the Day 1 drink. I think I put too many vegetables and nuts in the Day 1 drink which made it have that terrible taste. The Day 2 tasted a little bit sweeter because I had more fruit in it. It didn't taste bad at all and I was able to drink it easily throughout the day.
• HOW WELL I DID
  The instructions were to make 64 oz. of the smoothy in the morning and drink 8 oz. every hour. I probably got through 40 oz. today. I just kept sipping it throughout the day. However, you need to refrigerate it even so often because it doesn't taste that great warm. So I had two water bottles of the drink that I would rotate with.
• ENERGY LEVEL
  Same as yesterday, I was amazed of the burst of energy I got after just having a few sips of the smoothy. My energy level was very stable throughout the day. I also noticed I was laughing alot more than usual! It put me in such a great mood.
• HUNGER LEVEL
  Didn't feel very hungry! This smoothy was definitely an appetite suppressant. Sipping it throughout the day definitely helps with keeping my hunger level steady, but surprisingly with such a low-calorie drink I didn't feel hungry at all. There was only one point where at work I had 2 one-hour meetings so I didn't have my drink and I felt a little hungry after that, so I had my drink and also a small apple.
• CRAVINGS
  My cravings for junk food are completely gone! I just find it amazing that I have no desire to eat junk food and I would definitely like to continue eating this way even after the cleanse just because of the way I feel and energy level I have is something I haven't experienced in a long time. Plus, I love not feeling that afternoon crash of fatigue. I've been pretty high-energy all day.
• OVERALL THOUGHTS
  Headaches:
  Unfortunately in the morning and late at night I did have a minor headache, but it did go away quickly after drinking a tall glass of water. I've heard from others that it could be from all the toxins releasing from your body during the cleanse or from not having caffeine. I'm not a big caffeine drinker but I do have 1 or 2 small cups of coffee a day, so I guess it could be from that.
  Belly!
  I noticed int he morning that my stomach went down a lot! It feel so much flatter.
  Social:
  It can be a little difficult when doing a cleanse when there's parties or free food around. Today, Friday, at work we are doing a SuperBowl party for lunch where everyone brings in a dish. I want to attend but it might be a little embarrassing telling them I can eat all the stuff we'll have like pizza, buffalo wings, and all that SuperBowl American food! I'll just have to keep sipping on my drink and tough it out. My plan is to show up late so maybe I'll miss out on the food and just get to hang out with my co-workers and chit-chat.
