cleanse: day four

one helpful tip when doing a cleanse: don't starve yourself... i inadvertently skipped lunch today due to a busy day at the office... unfortunately when the work day was done, my cravings were more intense than ever... i wanted to go the easy route and grab a sandwich somewhere, chow down a bowl of cereal or *gasp* pull my ford focus into a drive thru and never look back...

i don't know when i mustered the willpower, but i came home and ate chicken, rice and broccoli like a good detox gal and guzzled some water pretending it was a milkshake... this was the worst day i've had for cravings... when i went to the movie theatre tonight i wanted popcorn, pop, gummies, chocolate -- whatever i could get my grubby little hands on that i was clearly not allowed... instead though, i let my dinner sink in and actually felt full, but energetic, upbeat and happy...

sure, i joked to my friends that my plan after these 12 days is to pound back a box of wine and an entire chocolate swirl cheesecake, but that's just my hyperactive sweet tooth and wine bladder going into overdrive from neglect... right?

four down... eight to go.
