Day 6: Good things are happening

I don't want to get too excited yet but good things are happening. The Detox/Cleanse is trucking along fine. Haven't had the Colon Blast effect which I had been dreading all day, thank goodness, but still ... some of the anticipated side effects are showing; flu like symptoms, low energy, migraines but nothing totally unbearable. The book says if you make through Day 3 and 4 OK, you're in the home straight. Day 4 is Monday for me (a work day obviously) so it'll be interesting to see how that goes. On the upside, I'm on 10 o'clock starts next week so I get to sleep in. Yay for me!

The Menu was looking pretty clean cut today. Sticking to the detox/cleanse menu hasn't been without it's problems. No animal meat and caffeine has made today troublesome but I did get to have a nice falafel pita on the house (using loyalty points). Also visited an Organic foods store today, not your regular health food store that happens to sell organic foods, I mean a genuine, everything's certified organic store. They had all the odd sounding named foods I had been reading about in books and online. Bought some coconut oil, sourdough bread and some soup for dinner tonight (Vegetable and Quinoa). The sales assistance was impressed that I hadn't made the rookie mistake; calling it Keen-wa instead of Quinn-Noah. Thanks Kobe Bryant video on YouTube! Anyways let's cut to the chase:

Today's Negatives

• Feeling some side effects from the Detox/Cleanse but nothing too major to worry about
• Eating and cooking healthy is expensive but because I'm new to this, there's room for improvement (aka budgeting)
• No decent Organic or Health food supply store locally. Might have to go to the Farmers market next weekend, wallet-permitting

Today's Positives

• Day 2 of the Detox/Cleanse without any major blow backs (pun intended)
• Found a genuine organic food store within driving distance
• Went sub-100 in the sugar count today and feeling good to be honest
• Went sub-1000 on the calories as well 

Our National side, the All Blacks Rugby team, just won a tough one against the South African Springboks tonight; which will mean the country will be a jovial mood this week. Just started raining but you know what, still feeling good about what I doing and where I'm going. See y'all tomorrow.
