Diet Day 2

I am almost done with the second day!! I just have to drink the herbal tea still. Day 2 flew by, I cleaned our wood floors, did lots of laundry, and ran some errands to Costco and Bed, Bath and Beyond (where I could easily blow lots of money, they have so many fun things). I had to get a scale so I can keep track of my weight loss and more lemons from Costco (I also picked up books for Chase, whenever I go to Costco I always end up spending at least $30 on new books for him...but hey, there's no harm spoiling him with books, right?).

It seemed like the second day was easier. I was able to drink the salt water in less than 10 minutes, whereas yesterday it took me 30 minutes to get that nasty water down. I even worked out this evening on the treadmill after Chase went to bed, hopefully that will help with the weight loss. One thing I am loving about this diet is how much energy I have! It's fantastic. I haven't even needed to nap during the day (not like I do very often anyway, but I usually nap 3 times a week).

Anyway, anyone who is interested in the diet, you can check out this website that tells more about it: http://www.falconblanco.com/health/cleansing/lemoncleanse.htm

And for my own record, because I will probably do this diet again after having another baby, I am including the recipe for the drink:

10 cups water
Juice of 5 lemons
1 1/4 cups pure grade B maple syrup (from the health food store)

To each cup you drink, add 1/10 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or take the pill version (I have these clear caplets that open up and I just scoop some pepper into the pill and swallow it) Drink between 6-10 cups of this juice a day.

If anyone is interested, I dare you to try it! I guess I can't highly recommend it yet because I'm only on my second day, but so far it's going well!
