. detoxing, day 2 .

. i've had a few people show interest in my detox, so i thought i'd put a little more info about how it's going . read below if you want to read about day one . :) it really wasn't thaaaat bad . today actually seems better, not sure if it's because i have ry and reed here to keep my mind busier or i'm getting used to it, or maybe i feel like i've made it half way, i'm on the downward side now . not sure .

. i'm noticing that food is everywhere ! everywhere i look . blogs, magazines, in the kitchen, on my inspiration board in the office .

:)

. i didn't cook at all yesterday, i had done some on saturday so there was no need . this morning i made eggs for the boys and was surprised that i didn't feel the need to have them, even though my tummy felt empty .

. i have been feeling fine overall . i think am a little weaker, and last night i considered doing something a bit challenging and could have found myself in a heap if i had pushed it, decided to put it off until i was in a better place . :) see, i know my limits . i've been drinking tons of water, i had over 90 ounces yesterday and still went to bed thirsty .

. this is gross, but true, my breath is yuck . hoping this gets better once i can eat tomorrow . overall things are going well and i'm glad i've taken on this challenge . feeling like the hardest part is behind me now .

. as if i'm on death row .

. and i was eating my last meal . and i picked jello salad ?!

. some of you know i started a detox and it includes not eating for the first 2 days (only having a shake sort of thing, that's not yummy, btw) . so saturday i was cooking and decided to throw together this delicious jello salad and enjoy some of it's yummyness before i had to go 2 WHOLE DAYS without eating ! let me just say i've never gone this long without eating . it's not fun . i love food . 3/4 into day 1 i'm not dead . so, there's where we're at .

. i do feel the need to address the jello salad thing though, if my mom is reading she'll know why . i HATE jello salads ! always have . won't eat any, except this one and the one with the cream cheese balls covered in nuts in strawberry jello . okay, but this particular recipe is yummy because it has cherry pie filling in it ! here, i'll just give you the recipe . 2 small boxes of cherry jello, 1 can of crushed pineapple and 1 can cherry jello . dump your jello powder into a bowl, boil 2 cups of hot water to dissolve that, add in your drained pineapple and your cherry pie filling, let set up, and there you have it...yummyness ! now i want to go eat the rest of it, but i won't !

. here's what not eating looks like on me . it makes my frown lines worse !
