Day 8

Today has not been a good day.  I woke up this morning with a migraine and it was making me feel sick to my tummy.  I took the probiotics like I was supposed to and then I waited a half an hour to drink the fiber drink.  My tummy started hurting after I drank the fiber drink so I laid down on the couch to try and settle it down.  I was supposed to wait 30 minutes after the fiber drink to have my breakfast so when I got up to make it, my tummy decided it wasn't happy and I got sick. 

I was able to get the boys ready for school and I got them on the bus but I had to lay back down after they left.  I didn't get back up until 11:30 AM and just the thought of eating eggs made my stomach hurt so I tried to eat half a bagel (which isn't on the cleanse) but it made me sick.  I laid back down until 2 PM and when I got up, I tried to eat a small bowel of dry cereal (also not on the approved list) but it also made me sick.

I had to start feeling better, though so that I could go to Zumba because Rachelle needed me to do the Time Warp.  I took a hot shower and laid back down until the boys came home and when I got back up, my stomach seemed to have calmed down a little so I had a small salad and I kept it down.  I was waiting to get something in my stomach so that I could take some ibuprofen and once I took that, my head started to feel a little better.

I went to Zumba and my head started to feel better during class but now that I'm home, it's starting to ache a little.  I'm hoping it goes away by tomorrow but even if it doesn't, it won't be as bad as today was.  I'm thinking about having a small snack before bed, just because I haven't had very much to eat today but I'm not really hungry. 

That's the one thing that has surprised me about the cleanse.  I felt hungry on the first day but haven't had any hunger pangs after the first day.  I'm probably not eating enough and Rachelle told me that I need to eat the snacks, even if I don't feel hungry.  I think it's because of all of the water that I'm drinking but I could be wrong. 

I did have someone tell me that I looked like I lost a lot of weight so that made me feel good.  I feel much better about the weight I lost even if it's not as much as I thought it would be.  I'm sure that I've already lost inches because of the way my clothing fits.
