Day 8. More temptations.

Last night I didn't sleep much, as the abandoned cat I made friends with decided to try meowing me back outside all night. It made me realize how well I've been sleeping since on the cleanse, even when in a totally new environment. When I woke up, I drank some leftover senna tea and a glass of lemonade when I decided I wanted to do a salt bath as well. Because I'm so late in my cleanse, I feel like it's a good idea to have that rinse all the way through your system.

I ordered more agave online, and because I paid way too much to ship it in two days, I expected the package today. However, it did not come, so I dissolved the granulated cane sugar in warm water (it was out of necessity I finally came up with that idea). Some advice, make sure you have enough syrup before you start, especially if your ordering online, as it's normally cheaper than nearby stores. It's not fun not knowing how your going to be able to carry out your day because you don't have enough syrup! To make sure I had enough for my second day of work, I rode my bike to the New Frontiers and filled my nalgene with 6 oz. of the bulk b grade maple syrup. It put me back over 5 dollars, which is the perfect example as to why I use agave ordered in bulk from amazon,com.

At work, the availability of food, and it's constant presence, made me struggle the urge to eat it. I was even offered a full meal from the owner, but had to decline. I also had to decline on more strudel. I told them to save a big piece for me for saturday (although it will probably be a small one). Another thing I feel I must note is the conversation I had with the waiter who trained me. He told me my attention span seemed short, and it was probably because I don't eat food. Now, for anyone who knows me, this really isn't that abnormal of behavior. But it did make me think back to the issue of protein deficiency. I really didn't seem as on top of things as I usually do working. But then again, I am in a totally new environment and completely new workplace.

Tomorrow I have a very busy day. I finally get to make some cash tomorrow afternoon! I hope to have time to list the herbal infusions I've been drinking, but I am also planning out a grocery list for Friday. I am deciding on what to put in a vegetable soup as my first real meal Saturday evening.
