Day 2 - The Lemonade Diet Hunger Pains

OK, I'm pretty hungry, that's for sure. Day 2 was definitely worse than Day 1, but still tolerable. The salt water is still a rather unpleasant drink for sure, but it's only a quart, and it's absolutely essential, so you just have to suck it up and get it down. Man, that stuff is efficient! lol! I just want to take a second to say that if I can resist the urge to eat while working IN A RESTAURANT, I thoroughly believe than anybody wh's truly wanting to undergo this cleanse can definitely do it.

To this point, it seems like a true test of mind over matter. I've spent a lot of time sitting today, so I'm a bit down on energy, but that's pretty normal for the first couple days from what I understand, so I'm just gonna keep pushing through. Oh, and btw, as we talked about yesterday, I upped the cayenne pepper "to taste" today, going to a 1/4 TBSP... and WHOA!!!! The longer the pepper sits in the lemonade, the stronger it gets, and it was definitely strong today. I mean, I love cayenne on most things, but a few glasses of the ultra version of the lemonade was a bit much for my tastes, so we went back to the 1/10 TBSP from the original recipe. I was quite relieved. The tea tastes better the longer you go without food, and it's almost an enjoyable drink this evening. Well, I'm going to finish watching this episode of Mythbusters and it's off for a good sleep, I don't work until tomorrow evening.
