Day 2: Where'd my motivation go? (Post for yesterday...)

Day two was tough....

The cravings were coming in full force, and fruits and veggies were the last thing I wanted to eat (drink).  I decided at the end of day one that I am allowed to eat raw fruits and veggies.  That really helped with dinner on day 1.  I really need to post a picture of what I made.  (It was a avocado, tomato, onion, and cilantro wrapped in lettuce)

So back to day 2.  At one point I had convinced myself that I needed to quit because this was not something I was going to be able to stick to.  Perhaps you remember from my earlier post that my Dad agreed to do this with me for 10 days.  At about 1pm yesterday while he was out on a walk, I sent him a text message saying, "This sucks!"

He quickly came back and was motivating me that we needed to stick to our deal to stay on it for 10 days.  Without him being on this, there is no way I was getting past day 2.  I started to get a headache halfway through the day and was about to take something for it but tried to drink a few more glasses of water to see if it would go away.  Well it didn't. 

As I was making dinner for the family (they had a nitrate free pizza from Trader Joe's) and chopping up veggies (more avocado...) my youngest child ended trying to race down the stairs and ended up rolling down and bonking her head!  Talk about having your heart stop!  We rushed up to the ER and two hours later they said she was perfectly fine and just put a little glue on her cut.  Of three children, this is the first time anyone has been hurt on the stairs - mostly because we usually have the bolted gate closed at all times.  Needless to say, I am going to be a stickler about that even more now.  That will not happen again!

Oh yea, since all of this was going on, I forgot to take anything for my headache.  My headache started to become a migraine and I was very close to throwing up.  I honestly believe that was the worst migraine I have ever had.  I don't know if it had anything to do with the new way of eating (detoxing) or what, but too many more of those would really make me want to do this process a little more gradual.

I'm falling behind in my homework because I don't have enough energy to stay awake long enough to read.  I am becoming frustrated.

I can say though, that I am extremely proud to have made it to day 3....  I didn't think I'd make it.

Thanks to my supporters out there....  I really wouldn't have been able to get through this with out your encouraging words.... 

I will post day 3's comments by this evening to given no migraines make an appearance.
