Day 3

I'm currently on Day 3 of my 10 Day Cleanse. I feel ok. I felt GREAT on day 1 and 2 - I think my problem today is allergies.

Spark = AMAZING!! I'm really not missing my soda's at all.... now, yesterday I spent most of the day wanting/craving chocolate and peanut butter or more specifically - reese's pb eggs :)

I have been pretty satisfied with my meals - the only time that I have felt HUNGRY is when I've gotten off my schedule for unforeseen circumstances. But it didn't get too bad before I got to get back on track.

So far, I've tried 1 new recipe... gotta love leftovers :) Spaghetti Squash!
It is pretty good! I'm pretty impressed on how well it turned out! The strands from the squash can be used as a substitute for spaghetti (hence it's name). After I cooked the squash in the microwave I cleaned out the seeds and pulp and then used a fork to get the strands of the spaghetti squash out of the rind.  I cooked up some turkey sausage and zucchini with some itallian seasoning and no sugar added spaghetti sauce.  Then once all that was cooked up I added the spaghetti squash. It tasted AMAZING! I've had it for dinner the past 2 nights - haha.

Both Adam and Aiden tried it and both seemed to like it. They didn't eat a big bowl - but I think if I ever made this for dinner, they would eat it.

Yesterday morning I stayed home with a sick Aiden so I was able to make a breakfast...
This is my egg and green pepper omelet (that isn't really an omelet) It was okay.... it was missing something - CHEESE!

One thing that really sucks on the cleanse - is the fiber drink. The first day I mixed it with water like the instructions said and it really does thicken quickly. It was really hard to chug down quickly and by the end I nearly gagged trying to get it down. I read recommendations to mix it with OJ instead. So I got some Trop50 to mix it with on day 2 - MUCH BETTER. It just tastes like OJ with a LOT of pulp BTW - I don't like pulp.  It is manageable that way. I don't have to take it again until day 8! YAY!!

I can't wait to share my end results next week!!
