DAY FOUR:
SUNDAY
Morning Weight: 143.0
Woke up the same period cramps this morning. I'm dragging but other than the cramps I feel good: wide awake, no hunger, no light-headedness, no stomach eating itself tightness. It's odd how it's easier to eat nothing than to eat small portions throughout the day. The thing is my normal diet is not bad by any means, it's just that I overdo it and consume too many calories. For the last year or so I've eaten mostly good stuff: pears, apples, cabbage, butternut squash, blueberries, papayas, kiwis, mangos, mashed califlower, sweet potatoes, veggie dogs, sushi, brown rice, bananas, tomatoes, chicken and the list goes on. Of course I still partook in the occasional pizza with a friend or trip to quiznos but that was usually once a week (sometimes twice) at most, with all the other meals being healthy. If only I could portion control I'd be fine! I really think I have a slower metabolosm as it is though cause at any point in my life when I've eaten three full meals regularly I've gained weight. My body only seems to be able to handle two full meals or a bunch of little ones. The most I've ever weighed is 156, when I lived in NYC. I'm pretty small boned so my ideal body weight is probably about 115 but I'd be happy and have been happy anywhere in the 120s. Right now I'm just at that point where my face is full and my arms and legs look big through my clothes. At least in my 120s I still have a little bit of weight on my hips and stomach but it's not visable through my clothes and the legs look like a normal size!
I think I might go for a nice long walk around my neighborhood this morning. Unfortunately it's been so hot the last couple of days I didn't want to mix not eating with overheating. I leave for NYC tomorrow morning so now I have to pack and clean and do all that fun stuff. This weekend flew. I'll be much happier tomorrow when the cramps are gone and I'm lying in my 300-thread count linen sheets at the Ritz. I hope my boss is fine about the juicing thing and doesn't keep telling me to eat something, cause I'm afraid if tempted eventually I will. Hmmm...let's see 10 days to go still. I already feel like I've been on this for a lifetime.

You may have to take a break on this trip to avoid persecution from your boss. Unfortunately it's going to get hard the next few days when you start to really detox...and you really need the energy if you are on a business trip. But if you can handle it, and your boss knows what you are doing and doesn't make too much of a fuss...then you go!
peace-
