^—I may have taken the whole eating “as many vegetables as you want” too far.

The worst part of this whole Detox is the amount of times I now have to go to the bathroom every day and throughout the night.  Trying to do the whole 7-8 glasses of water every day has been a huge challenge.  No sugar, easy!  No caffeine, easy! (okay, easy after some major headaches) but battling a full bladder, harder than ever imagined.

I am looking much less bloated and my weight has been steadily declining:

• Day 1: 146.8
• Day 2: 145
• Day 3: 144.2
• Day 4: 143.4

As I am writing this, a coworker just sent my team a box full of cookies and muffins, time to test that self control of mine.  Forming a habit takes 21-66 days, so I can’t go breaking now, even though they look so damn delicious. (I’ve hidden some away until February)

Sleep has been another problem.  I have gone from 5-6 hours a night of sleep to 7-8 hours of sleep.  While I do feel more rested throughout the day, my nights are much more restless and I wake up numerous times throughout the night.  Could it be my body craving all those sweets?  Guess we’ll have to wait and see if it improves.

Today my meals are:

• Breakfast
  • Strawberry Banana Peanut Butter Protein Shake (forgot the hemp protein, oops)
• Lunch
  • Almond Crusted Chicken
  • Asparagus
  • Okra
• Dinner
  • Salmon with a red onion marmalade
  • Whatever vegetable side I decide on
