The Cleanse - Day 5

We stayed true to our word and started a cleanse on Monday. It's now Friday, which means we have made it through a full work-week without eating any refined sugar, bread, flour, dairy products (except butter - it's allowed for some reason). It's been a bit of a roller coaster for both Jesse and me, but I've probably had more ups and downs (literally) than my cleansing partner.

Yesterday my mom treated me to a wonderful round of golf and it all went smashingly well until the after golf dinner, where I was very sick to my stomach. I asked them to pack up my food, begged my mom to gorge hers down fast so we could split before dessert....as soon as we got back to my parents house I was sick...but it passed, and that was the worst of it.

It's so interesting, although I'm craving all the foods I love - cheese and white bread especially - I'm not hungry in the slightest. I need to force myself to eat actually.

Jesse's lost 10 pounds already and I've lost 5. This is pretty amazing. It's probably all water or something, but it feels good none-the-less.

I think we'll stick with it for the next 7 days and see what happens...

One thing is for sure, right now - I'm tired! Night
