Slow Going?

It's the morning of Day 3, and I'm feeling pretty good! I was tempted to hit the gym this morning, but when my alarm went off around 5:30, I could barely get out of bed to turn it off; the gym yesterday is going to need some more recovery time... I did squats for the first time in 2 years, and it felt good but was hard on the legs. I might go do some cardio after work today to get some blood flowing through the muscles, though.

I hopped on the scale this AM and was a bit surprised to see only a 1-2lb loss. I've had very little of the lemonade mixture, which was light on syrup anyway, and lots of water, and even did the SWF last night. Not that weight is my primary goal here, but I thought of it as a very welcome secondary effect.

The Juice Man Cometh...

So I made it through day one!!

Also, I bought a juicer at walmart today, they have a GE for $39 that seems to be a pretty good model, though loud as hell. I juiced a bunch of lemons, with the skin on, and am curious to see how it tastes tomorrow.

Today the cravings were there, and evil me tried to convince misguided me that it's really okay to eat one meal a day. Thankfully I didn't believe that crap, because if I actually want to do some sort of fast/cleanse where I achieve mental clarity and a new viewpoint, I kinda have to do this right.

I am planning on hitting the gym in the morning. I've packed clothes and a towel for tomorrow, and set out my work out pants and a t-shirt (and socks) for heading to the gym. The plan is to actually walk the dog a bit in the morning, maybe 15-20min, to get out and enjoy the sun. I've set my alarm for 5am; wish me luck!

Here's hoping tomorrow will be a bit easier!

PS- I drank about 16oz of water with about 2tsp of salt in it... I don't think that was entirely what's called for, but that's about all I will manage for the first time. Perhaps tomorrow night will be a little more successful.
