I got a bit of a
sleep in – until 8! Took the cleanse
stuff and turned on the computer. It
didn’t taste horrible (that’s always a bonus) – actually it kind of reminded me
of a less sugary tasting cool-aid. I’m going to try and keep myself busy-ish
today – take a drive to Qualicum to figure out how long the drive from home to
that branch actually is (more on that later) and then over to an antique store
that may have a good quality mitre saw and then to Nanaimo to pop in on Rob
& Carrie if they are home. Will take cleanse-day-sanctioned snacks with me and
make certain I have 2 or 3 bottles of water in the car with me as well. Today is sort of a “wait and see” day for
me. I’m hopeful this cleanse day stuff
will go well.
On a plus note, I was able to have a bowel movement - can see that I am going to need to "up my game" with fibre!!
Today hasn't been anywhere near as bad as I had worked it up to be. I've been feeling off and on hungry - but my stomach has been settled and when and if I get hungry, water seems to help.
What I have noticed, though, is that all I can think about is how much I miss the sensation of food at each meal - the cream of sauces, the crunch of vegetables, its funny how much I really miss the sensation of food.
I started looking up recipes for lower calorie meals for next week - I think I have found a vegetarian lasagna that might be worth a shot - apparently its 200 calories per portion! I'm thinking I will pick up the ingredients on Tuesday to allow me to make this and then make it Tuesday night. It means a shake (or a meal bar?) for lunch, but since I am going to do this shopping at lunch time, that might actually be OK...
I miss food already. This doesn't bode well for tomorrow.
