cleanse: day two

the temptations continue...

while my boyfriend is being completely and utterly supportive of this whole ordeal, sometimes it's easy to forget... since i was working a later shift today, he offered to take me out for lunch... alas, there is little on the menu at the long (sarcasm) list of eateries in whitehorse that will fit into my new eating regulations... we opted to meet for a coffee instead -- which meant herbal tea for me while i gazed longingly at his fresh brew with cream... oh how i miss thee... although two days without coffee for this regular java drinker is easier than i expected...

rewind to earlier in my day and a visit to my massage therapist... when i told her about my new regime, she replied with the information that she's done the wild rose cleanse over four times now and actually has made it a regular thing in her life to reboot her system... she says the affects are noticeably different with each go... she recommended two things: i MUST get the wild rose cookbook to avoid boredom (or sitting down to a bowl of rice and veggies every night like she did on her first cleanse in her 20s) and try it again in the future... not sure if i can contemplate the next time right now, but i did grab the cookbook from a friend...

i must admit i'm not feeling a lot different so far, but it is only 48 hours since i began this journey... i do feel lighter, less tired throughout the day and i think slightly slimmer -- although that may just be in my head... i don't necessarily feel hungry, as much as i feel like i crave what i'm not supposed to have... and i've jogged my memory as to why i rarely choose brown rice; does anyone else notice the weird texture?

two down... ten to go.
