Day 3 was the easiest day of the reboot so far. I felt lighter and my cravings were virtually non-existent; I even managed to do 5km on the elliptical trainer after breakfast. I usually like to run in a morning but I didn't quite feel that my energy levels were at that point, and for me personally, the reboot is about giving my body time to rest and recuperate so I don't want to put too much stress on it. I did notice through the day that my sense of smell was particularly heightened - i'm not sure if this is some ancient hunter-gatherer knee-jerk reaction to the lack of solid foods in my stomach, but I was very aware of the different scents as I went through the day.
In the morning, I noticed that the white fur/detox symptoms on my tongue had started to clear up and it had completely gone by the end of the day. My body felt light and I had quite a lot of energy, not in the "I want to run a marathon" way, but more in the sense that I didn't stop all day and didn't feel tired - my stamina levels were much improved. I also seemed to have more focus; usually I'll get distracted from whatever I'm doing by something else and spend my time jumping from one thing to another, but instead I was able to stay completely focussed on the task at hand and enjoy being immersed in it.
It's strange, I've read online how people end up buzzing with energy around day 3 or 4 of the reboot, but I've found that it's affected me in a much more subtle way, gentler perhaps. I felt a little emotional towards the end of the day, so I think that cleansing is taking place at many levels. Let's see what the rest of the week brings.
Two more days to go!
