Day Two

Okay, so today is Day 2.  I am doing the Advocare 24 Day Challenge in which the first 10 days are a 10 day Cleanse.  So far, I am feeling pretty good.  I keep waiting for the carb withdrawal to kick in and leave me feeling like I have the flu.  So far, that hasn't happened.  The first 10 days of the "Cleanse" involve avoiding dairy, high-fat foods and alcohol.  I am eating a lot of hard-boiled eggs, tuna, almonds, veggies, and fruits.  No soda, only water and SPARK which is an Advocare drink.  (I love SPARK!)  I haven't really missed the high-fat foods yet.  I'll be honest, though.  I miss my evening glass of wine.  I worked out both yesterday and today on the elliptical machine and added the rower today as well.  I am fighting a case of plantar fasciitis (also known as my excuse for not getting started sooner!) so I am sticking to low-impact activities at this point.  Feeling good about making this commitment, but I am nervous about the future:  Will I be successful?  How long will this take?  Will I give up if I don't see results?  How will I feel in a few weeks when the "new and exciting" wears off?  Stay tuned....    Susan
