Hi friends,

Turns out, the second time around, cleanses are a lot easier to deal with. Despite battling some serious hunger (my tummy was grumbling pretty audibly at lunch) I am doing okay. I am definitely glad I kicked caffeine earlier in the week. At my work they provide doughnuts (only on Friday’s) and sometimes, one of the manager-types (not sure what his position is to this day really) buys candy which he did today. But like a true champion I resisted. I won’t lie. I really, really did want to cheat. 

Seeing as how I’ve been down this road before I’ve kind of figured out what works and what doesn’t. Couldn’t really bring shakes to work per se, so I got protein bars because they pretty much fulfilled the same purpose and they were very low in sugar, and shared a lot of the same ingredients. I wouldn’t say they were “delicious” as such, though, highly misleading with names like ‘fudgey brownie’ and ‘peanut butter nut,” but nevertheless, they got the job done. I was pretty busy today so I found it hard to keep up with eating but I’m still feeling good. Catching up on the protein shakes as we speak. It’s your usual fare. 

Protein Shake

• Packet of whey protein powder (vanilla flavoured, low sugar don’t worry) 
• 1 tsp of flax seed
• 1 whole banana 
• 1\4 cup of vanilla almond milk 

Probably could have been a touch less sweet but I’m gonna try and ‘rinse it out’ but having tons of water after my first “meal” of the day. The same as before, salad with raw veggies and cooked chicken breast, topped with just olive oil. I think I’m supposed to have an avocado too but meh. They would have taken days to ripen so we will just overload the salad with goodness. I may add some pepper\garlic to my ‘dressing.’ No salt though! 

Looking forward to the all fruit part of my cleanse. 

I’m honestly really impressed at how less weak I’m feeling. But it’s early days. Maybe the toxins haven’t quite left yet. 

But I’m not bitchy\grumpy which leads me to believe now more than ever, happiness and nutrition are linked. You eat well, you feel well. 

Stay tuned. 

I must go, I have to finish this shake! Mmm
