Finishing Day Three

So, I’ve finished day 3 of the cleanse. It’s been sheer hell. Let me provide a recap:

Day 1: Not too bad. Craved everything under the sun, but didn’t cave. Even went to a bar that evening, and managed to avoid ordering a much desired cocktail. A MUCH desired cocktail.

Day 2: Was excited to have two meetings at work. Meetings are great ways to keep my mind off of food. Instead, walked into 8:00 meeting to be greeted with a buffet including muffins, bagels and breakfast sandwiches. BREAKFAST SANDWICHES??? WTF??? Can I just say that never, in the several months that I’ve had this job, have there been breakfast sandwiches (on croissants) at a meeting. Et tu? Went to lunch with two partners, only to watch them devour tasty turkey burgers and chicken sandwiches while yours truly ate rabbit food. At the end of the day, I was convinced that the Universe was conspiring against me.

Day 3: Had the protein cravings from hell. Had to remain on the opposite side of the street to avoid succumbing to the Egg McMuffins that were calling my name from Mickey D’s. Had an apple instead. whoo hoo! Had vegetable soup and a salad for lunch at a table where one coworker was savoring a tasty turkey sandwich, and another was sawing through the cheese on a calzone. Yet another coworker asked why I was doing a cleanse. At that point, I didn’t have a good answer. I remain perplexed.

I can’t wait to see what Day 4 will hold. And needless to say, I can’t wait until Day 7.

BTW, the curtain rods and curtains look fabulous. Completely worth the manual labor on Sunday.
