Welp it hasn't been too terrible the last couple of days. I did my 48 "clense" and I am still sticking to it ..kinda. I ate a bit of tuna tonight with my diner (which might I add was amazing, recipe to come later). I haven't really felt like I was starving. Last night I really wanted some chip, chocolate, any junk food I think I would've been fine with and instead of caving I had half an orange. I felt just fine after than. Funny how your body can make you think that you want something that is bad for you but it is completely satisfied by fruits and vegies. I pulled these craving tips from Yahoo health:
Healthy Ways to Satisfy Unhealthy Food Cravings: Salty Foods
When you have a food craving for salty foods, your body actually needs chloride. A couple healthy ways to satisfy this craving is to eat fish or to add unrefined sea salt to your meal. A quick tuna salad made with fat-free mayonnaise would be a healthy way to satisfy your unhealthy food cravings.
Healthy Ways to Satisfy Unhealthy Food Cravings: Chocolate
Your body may also need magnesium if you have cravings for chocolate. Instead of giving in to this unhealthy food craving, choose snacks like nuts and fruit. If your absolutely must have chocolate, you could buy a trail mix that has dried fruit, nuts, seeds, and dark chocolate. Dark chocolate is actually healthy for you and when you choose a trail mix you satisfy your food cravings and give your body what it needs.

You can always google how to satisfy different craving in a healthy way. There are tons of articles that are really helpful.
I have found the last 48 hrs that I love me some watermelon and was amazed at how great watermelon is for you.
Eating your fruits is an important part of any well-balanced diet, but watermelon in particular has so much to offer. Watermelon nutrition facts show us that one wedge has 86 calories, less than 1 gram of fat, no cholesterol and less than 1% of your daily value of sodium.
But watermelon does provide you with 22 grams of carbs, 2 grams of protein and 5% of your daily value of fiber, a healthy recipe for fat burning and weight loss. With 18 grams of sugar, watermelon is a great way to curb a sugar craving.
Watermelon nutrition facts reveal this fruit as a jack of all trades; providing healthy amounts of virtually all essential vitamins and minerals. Vitamins A and C are available in high quantities in just 1 wedge of watermelon, providing 33 and 39% of your daily value. Vitamin B6, pantothenic acid and thiamin are also provided in significant amounts.
Aside from sodium, one wedge of watermelon can give you at least 2% of your daily value of all minerals. Potassium, magnesium and manganese are provided in the highest amounts, with other minerals in much smaller amounts. (http://www.fatburningfurnace.com/)

Lets not forget the most important part of living healthy and gettin it tight, EXERCISE!!!  I have done yoga everday this week and I never realized what a difference it could make. I would suggest it to anyone or any body type. I always thought yogo had to do with these skinny little women that could put their feet over their head and pose. I WAS SO WRONG (don't tell my boyfriend I said that lol). While I struggle to do certain poses I still feel great when I get done.

While I am excited to share everything with you I need to hit the hay. Keep me in your thoughts because I think I want to start getting up crazy early and working out....I am NOT a morning person.
