This positive attitude thing isn’t ½ bad.  I mean I can’t say that I’m excited to eat, but I’m not as mad about it

I know it’s only day 4, but it does feel like forever.  The weekends go by in a blink of an eye, so I just have one more day this week!

I’m not a big candy eater, and even less of a chocolate eater.  I saw a commercial for the new dark chocolate reese’s peanut butter cup, and about started salivating.  It’s funny how much more desirable things become when you can’t have them.

I don’t really want a reese’s peanut butter cup, I want what it represents.  I know that if I ate it, it may make me feel better for a short while, but will leave me feeling worse than when I started.

I’m finally getting in my green!!  I’m actually starting to enjoy all the vegetables.  Today I ate a whole tomato with breakfast, and a whole cucumber with lunch.  I didn’t even need dressing with my snap pea’s.  I enjoyed the taste.  I know that sounds weird, but that’s part of what I love about this cleanse.  It almost feels like your senses are enhanced, eventually. Don’t get me wrong, anytime someone says pizza I go in a homer-Simpson like trance and have to catch myself before I drool….but I’m starting to really enjoy eating so clean, and drinking so much water.
