Master Cleanse: Day 2

What's up readers!  I made it to Day 2!

12: 45 pm
Yesterday was not fun.  Around 3pm I got really nauseous and had a headache which kept me bedridden until it was time to go to sleep.    The nausea faded after about an hour.  I have never experienced anything like that on previous cleanses and I got a little worried so I googled it.  I guess it is considered part of the detox process.  I'm just glad it's over.  Today I feel a whole lot better.

I woke up feeling a little tired but not exhausted.  Upon waking, I did my SWF and I gagged. But I chugged on. As on previous cleanses, I only made it to 20oz.   Apparently, for my body that is adequate.  Not more than 40 min later, did I receive my first urge to...move.  I had "movement" two times after that as well.

My superhuman smell is back.  All my bath soaps, shampoos, and scrubs were a little overwhelming to me today.  My sister cooked some fried eggs, brown rice, and veggies this morning and I could smell each of the individual vegetables.  Dang.  It was still in the frying pan a few hours later, and I put my nose up to it to smell it.

I got one crazy craving about an hour ago for roasted sweet potato slices tossed in olive oil and sea salt.  I was looking up food on the internet to satisfy my cravings and I came upon this:

It's from Bon Appetite Magazine's 2012 Food Lover's Cleanse Diet.  Doesn't it look amazing???

I've discovered that looking up recipes and foods on the internet doesn't really help with my cravings, but I do it anyway.I'm mostly wanting savory things, which is funny.  Normally, I crave sweet carbs: ice cream, cupcakes, cookies, carmel machiattos, etc.  I don't really want those things right now.  

I was also flipping through the channels and landed on the Food Network.  Paul Deen was doing her thang and she created an amazing side dish for her post roast.  It was called an onion pie, which was cheesy and gooey and had some sort of crust.  I changed the channel because I could feel my tummy grumbling. 

I am still doing the cayenne pepper capsules, but I'm wondering if that has anything to do with my nausea yesterday.  I'll try it again today and see.

6:15PM
I'm a little tired.  That's about it.  Nothing crazy to report so far.  I don't think I was ever in danger of breaking the fast on my last two cleanses but this time around, it has come up as a thought a few times.  I don't think I considered it an option before.  I won't quit though.  It's almost the end of Day Two so I'm almost to the good part of this cleanse anyway.

I really want a grilled cheese sandwich right now.

That is all.
