Start of Day 2...

Morning weight: 181lbs.

Some of the possible side affects during this diet can include: headaches, diarrhea, general aches and pains, poor sleep and an upset stomach. So far, I've had some bad sleep, general aches and pains and an upset stomach.

The bad sleep was due to the upset stomach and needing to take a leak 4 times last night. The upset stomach was probably due to all of the random toxic junk I'm stirring up by this diet (and getting rid of). The general aches and pains could be due to the incredibly small amount of actual exercise I got yesterday (the 2 mile bike ride). Seriously, I haven't done any real exercise in years. But another option (less likely at this point, in my opinion) for the aches and pains is that, as the toxins are expelled, the body finally has a chance to go back to the various injuries it sustained over time and "redo" the mediocre repair it did during our poor eating habits. But I think it's too early in the diet for this to be a possibility.

I think I'm gonna do the salt water "drink" again today. It is not a nice thing to drink but it will move things along faster and with greater impact. Here's hoping I can get it all down.
