Day Two

Well, it is 7.32pm on Day Two of my detox and the detox itself is going fine, it is me that isn't! I have been holding onto a cold for the last five days, and unfortunately it has decided to flair its ugly head again! Luckily, it didn't flair up until this afternoon so I was able to have a productive day up until then!

So, what do I consider a productive day? I will basic timetable it out for you:
8.20am - Woke up
9am - Boot camp up on Mt Eden with some of my work colleagues. I love this so much - it is a great way for me to be guilted into exercising, and is 100% free. Today's work out was hard - a lot of hill sprints, kettle bell lifting, push ups, burpees and punching. We have been boot camping for the past nine months or so, and the change from the first boot camp to now is ridiculous.
10.15am - Finally go into work (it is the school holidays) and do a good hour and a half of work. I like to think of this as my mental stimulation for the day - although I am very side tracked by work mates. While I'm here, I eat two of my Apple Egg Streudle muffins that I made yesterday. Yum, yum, yum. I do notice that I am craving a Flat White while at work.
12.10 - Power class at my gym. I felt like I really should go to this, and was glad that I did. Was good to see that my weights didn't go down since the last class (which was MONTHS ago), and I could definitely have gone bigger. Next time!
1.30 - Lunch time! The Chicken Stew that I made yesterday is go good and I am so happy that I made a huge amount as it keeps me very satisfied! Am thinking some cauliflower rice would go well with it tomorrow.

My very yummy Chicken Enchilada Stew. Eat it. Now.

 From here, I pottered around, watched a lot of junky television with my boyfriend, and enjoyed being on holidays.
4pm - Boom. Hit with an extreme wave of tiredness. Nose starts blocking, cough comes back. Oh crap. I am sent to bed with a glass of water and told to sleep (by the boyfriend). The next thing I know it is 6pm and I am feeling horrific. Bed for the rest of the night for me/ slave man boyfriend running around after me with constant text alerts. Poor guy.
7pm - Dinner in bed by my lovely. Very basic, but exactly what I am feeling like. Well, no, that's a lie. What I am really feeling like is ice cream and chocolate but soft boiled eggs, broccoli and cauliflower do just fine.

Not the chocolate and ice cream I am craving.

What I am now hoping is that, by having a stupid early night I will be more than capable of going to my spin class in the morning. Fingers crossed. Very tight.

Update on how I am coping with no sugar

As you may have guessed from my 7pm dinner update, I am having quite bad cravings for chocolate and ice cream. I think it is just sugar in general, it is just that I am automatically thinking of my absolute favourites that I always go to when in need of a sugar hit. I am drinking LOTS of water to try and curb any faux hunger pains that have been coming in waves. Pay day tomorrow so big trip to the supermarket to grab the essentials - I am in desperate need of almonds and almond butter to snack on when I get the craving.
