Day 4- Feeling Good

Yesterday was really exhausting, I didn't get a good night's sleep and then I was tired all day.  I didn't get done what I had hoped to accomplish through the day and slept through kickboxing class.  However, last night I did get a good night's sleep and today I feel great.  I had my 2 eggs and snacked on mac nuts, almonds, cashews and raisins.  I'm getting ready to somehow bake some chicken I brought with me to work.  Not sure yet how I'm going to go about that. 
I think yesterday may have been a true detox day, I didn't sleep well, then I was exhausted, I felt like I wanted carbs, and my skin started to break out last night.  I hope that has passed, hopefully I'll feel like I do now from here on out.
It really is amazing to find out how much grains and dairy I eat through the day.  I didn't have to totally change my diet, luckily I like vegetable and meat, and I don't eat much candy bars and really processed foods, but apparently I eat a LOT of dairy.  Mostly cheese.  I'm not trying to lose weight really, so I'm not going too crazy with this stuff, I haven't "cheated" however, and I'm learning a lot about the food that I do put into my body.  If nothing else, this is making me read the ingredients on everything.  Any soy products are out, so you would be amazed to find out how many items have soy lecithin or other hidden soy items.  It also opens your eyes to how much corn syrup is in everything.  I mean, I knew that it was way too prevalent, but I didn't realize that it is in almost every single one of the products I have on my refrigerator door.  It's in all of my salsa packets from Taco Bell, in most of the sauces and toppings that you eat.  It makes sense when you think about sweeter items, but there are a lot of "saucy" items that have corn syrup.  Many of the foods I thought I would fall back on during this challenge are actually not allowed.  Even my dill pickles have ingredients that I can't pronounce.  How sad is that?
Ultimately I think this challenge has already been beneficial and my pants are feeling looser.  I will be interested to know what 26 more days will bring.
