Detox Day 2

So here I am on day 2 of the detox. Other than losing 3 pounds yesterday, I have to say I do not feel much different. She did tell me that the "First Cleanse" pills I am taking might make me feel a bit tired, which they have, but I find that I am tired in the middle of the day usually when I am at home and not doing anything active anyway.

Oops...well, I guess the second part of the cleanse is a little diarrhea. It sort of came unexpected and no, I did not shit myself, but did make a mad dash for the bathroom. Other than that, I feel like I am drinking a ton of water and always having to pee, which smells kind of weird. Not sure if that is due to the "First Cleanse" pills or the food I am consuming, not that the food is so far off what I usually eat, but there is definitely a lot more leafy greens than normal.*

They say the first 2 or three days are the hardest, which it is. That could be due to the fact that I am home and not working to take my mind off it, but due to the "bowel issues" I seem to be facing this afternoon I am glad I am not at work. I guess I need to take "pill II" much earlier to have all this "cleansing" happen before I go to work. Anyhow, here is my food journal so far for today. Again, I will update it with the full stuff before bed tonight. I may take a nap. I am a bit sleepy.

*(Note: I talked with Walter who is not taking the First Cleanse pills and he is eating about the same as I am, and his pee does not smell weird, so I think it is due to the pills.)
