Cleanse - Day 3

So I decided to hold off on the cleanse until I get better. I woke up yesterday with a nasty cold and has a full day of work ahead of me. So I felt it was better to not push it. I was in a meeting last night and kept blowing my nose and sneezing for about 3 hours - it wasn't pretty.

BUT, one really awesome and wonderful thing came from doing this cleanse. I quit Diet Coke! Yay! Since I knew I wasn't going to be able to drink it while on the cleanse I decided that this was a perfect excuse to kick the habit. This has been a vice of mine for quite a long time. I'd say since I was 18. Michael used to call Diet Coke "Chemical Nightmare" or a "Brown Death." I liked the authors of "Skinny B@#$%&" name which was "Liquid Satan." LOL

Anyway, I'm excited to return to the cleanse once I'm feeling better. It wasn't that hard. When I woke up the second day and realized I had to drink the Lemon Juice, Maple Syrup concoction I wasn't mad. I wasn't that hungry. BUT, a few things I will remember:
1. Don't stay up too late
2. Choose a week where I'm not that busy & don't have to travel
3. Obviously not being sick is good too

Thanks everyone for your comments before. Anyone else have a Diet Coke habit that needs to be kicked?

Yes (she types as she pops open her second can of the day). What is your replacement beverage? Please don't say water.

haha! Your so funny!
I have been downing sparkling water and its really good! I know that its not as fun but I've been enjoying it. Its been hydrating me instead dehydrating me and giving me headaches. You can do it too!!

I have a Dr. Pepper habit which while it might not be as full of chemicals, sure doesn't have a lot of useful calories... I hope you get better soon!
