Well, this has been a little tougher than day 1, mainly as I am now extremely hungry. My last meal was 48 hours ago, and save for the yukky gel, handfuls aof supplements and two milkshakes, I have had nothing since. I am drinking water like its going out of fashion, sometimes cold, sometimes hot, and when I feel like really mixing it up I add a slice of lemon. Hell, tomorrow, I might even have a slice of lime. I know how to live, there's no denying that.
The day started well, with me waking refreshed after my mammoth sleep, and I was ready to leap out of bed for another dose of Insanity.
That's where I hit snag 1.
My body doesn't work. I'm stiff and achy, and I feel like I've been hit by a truck. I'm not poorly though, I'm just THAT unfit. 25 mins yesterday of Shaun T and Tania grinning away encouraging me to jump about whilst promising I too can have a body like hers has left me incapable of getting my over stretched hamstrings to drag me out of bed, let alone to do another moment of their maniacal leaping about. However, I need to set example to BTB so I force myself on. Whilst on the loo I do a few little stretches, circle my ankles and make out all is fine.
I then do something very naughty - I weigh in again. Not supposed to do that til tomorrow, but hey, I like to live on the edge. So with no small amount of trepidation I step on the scales and am amazed to see 3lb off! Yessirree - 10st 7 today. Pretty pleased with that.
We go through the garcinia/gel/pollen routine throughout the morning, but poor old BTB is really suffering. Apart from my general stiffness and a very slight headache, I feel fine, so keep on at her that we need to exercise, but soon even I see that my nagging is not going to get Shaun T on the telly. So instead I suggest a gentle walk round the village so we are at least moving, and getting some fresh air. To make it more of a workout for me I put my MBT shoes on (oooooh they work the calves, I tells ya). This apparently did the trick and BTB is soon cured and we decide to walk on a bit further up the canal. Until it rains, and that puts paid to our good intentions.
By the time we get back its shake time (yay - my favourite part) and can honestly say I'm not massively hungry. I feel a wee bit dizzy, but nothing too bad, still got slight headache, but the copious amounts of water are doing wonders.
I then decide that as I am now only 24 hours away from my next meal I'll do a meal plan for the week so I can make sure we have everything we need and there is no temptation to cheat. What sort of idiot decides to go through cook books in the middle of a detox? No food in my tummy, and I decide to look at cookbooks and go to Sainsburys. Perhaps the detox is affecting my brain too.
Walking around the aisles took far longer than it should have done. I keep stopping to look at the pretty oranges, lettuces, celery, packets of flour, lard... anything and everything has taken on a supernatural appeal. I was drooling by the time I left and decided drastic action was needed. I know, I'll clean the fridge. Then my clean and healthy food can go into my clean and healthy fridge.
Now what comes next is a bit weird, I'm afraid. When putting the food and groceries back in the fridge I was consumed by an overwhelming desire to sniff the packet of ham. And not a delicate little sniff to see if it was fresh. No, this was a proper suck all the surrounding air and hold it in the nostrils junky sniff. When done I was elated, then realised I was going crazy so threw the poor pork product into the fridge shut the door and walked away from the kitchen before I was overtaken by the irresistable lure to its meaty smell. My, lust is a powerful mistress.
All in all I'm very happy with day 2 progress. I've resisted temptation, my headache is still there a bit, I'm quite tired and can't wait for food tomorrow, but really this has not been that bad. I am really hungry now though, although that is coming and going. Oddly, I'm craving vegetables rather than naughty things, perhaps this is a side effect of the detox? My now clean body is seeking replenishment from healthy sources. Hope so.
BTB also reports feeling much better. I really thought for a while this afternoon she was going to quit, but she is feeling much more positive this evening. Fingers crossed for good results at tomrrow's official weigh in tomorrow. Might take some measurements too.
