Tim & Julia - Day 2 : We Survived!

So last night, we both drank our tea. Tim ended up getting a major headache (perhaps migraine?) and had to take some medicine. It hurt so bad, we just went to bed so he could sleep.

This morning, I woke up at 5:00a with major stomach pains. Well... not "MAJOR", just stomach cramping/hurting. Dorth had just told me yesterday how it had happened to her. So I got up and sat on the pot. Was there for about 30mins. Had to massage my stomach to help get things moving. Got a good orange-brown bowel movement. It seemed to float on top of the water like a lily-pad.

When I finished up, I decided to drink my half-quart of salt water. This time, I decided to try it with less salt. I was able to drink it w/o any problems. Went back to bed until 7:30a. Snooze. 7:40a. Snooze. 7:50a I got up. Got ready. Woke up Tim. I noticed he was about to try and fart.

"Don't fart!" I said quickly.
He jumps up. "Oh yeah! Good call!" he exclaims as he rushes to the bathroom. A few minutes later, he says good thing I told him to stop, or he would have exploded in bed. :) haha! He actually had to go a couple of times this morning before we left (which is good, since he said he only had 1 explosion at school yesterday).

We actually both woke up feeling pretty good. Work was a still a little hard since I see all the snacks around. I think I may have gone to the bathroom more today than yesterday. Today my poo's were a little more "oozy".

Didn't have the major food cravings that I had yesterday. Occasionally, I think, "Oh how good it would be to eat some sushi, or a burger, or even a piece of chocolate." And that's the hardest part. It's not that you're feeling HUNGRY... it's just that you want to EAT SOMETHING! A snack! ANYTHING! I'm thinking of freezing some of the lemonade mix to eat as a popsicle.

Oh yeah... today I tried using Cayanne capsals instead of adding it to the lemonade. The 'nade tasted LOTS better... but the Cayanne burns even MORE in the stomach! It made it hard because it feels like I just took some herbal medicine, and usually when I do that I eat something to ease the burn. Wheat Thins! Chips! :(

I ended up only taking one Cayanne capsal.

At around 2p, Tim called me. He said he had just gotten out of class. How HORRIBLE it was because during class, a kid came in, sat down next to him, pulled out his Wendy's hamburger, drink, fries, AND chicken nuggets. :( Poor Tim!! He said it smelled SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!
He's still on campus doing lab work, so I'll have to see how he did today.

In the future, do I think I'd do this again? Only if I feel INCREDIBLE TIMES 1000 at the end of this cleanse! Otherwise, I don't know if it's worth it... (though it really wasn't too bad today!)
