Day Nine

Well, today is day nine. I have lost 6.2lbs and 8 1/2 inches---yeah. This whole cleansing thing isn't so bad if you eat a good healthy lunch with lean protein. Unfortunately, today I went to a meeting and lunch consisted of 1c. pasta with marinara sauce and salad--no protein. I was not feeling so well about an hour later. Protein really does sustain me. I had a boiled egg at about 4pm, and a shake for dinner. I do feel like I have gotten rid of a lot of "water" weight over the past couple of days. My hands were so swollen that I couldn't get my rings off--but today I'm fine. My next cleansing day is scheduled for Saturday--so hopefully I will be able to drop another 3 or so lbs this week. My goal is to have lost around 35lbs by the 1st week of June--guess I better get rockin' on the exercise trail.
