Sept 30, 2014 - Captains log...
For the first 5 minutes this morning, I lay in bed and blissfully forgot about the challenge. And do you know what my first thought was once I remembered?
"Aw man, I have to make something for breakfast."
And as I made breakfast (plain yogurt with granola and honey... Look out world!), I couldn't stop thinking about how much I didn't want to eat it. Why don't I ever eat breakfast? You always hear it is the most important meal of the day (gray area, in my opinion).
I took my first mouthful and had a difficult time swallowing it. My inner Dawson came out. I feel like it would have been amusing to watch me struggle with this food. But I ate it, for the good of the challenge. Yet, as the day progressed, I started to really want something carb-ish.
Sorry, let me be more specific. By 3pm, I would have stolen bread from a homeless person, or ninja'd some carbs from the trash. The feeling has been overwhelming, and a little freaky. I'm going to write this sentence, just once:
I was craving carbs more then I was craving cigarettes.
And then, just because... life... I started really wanting a drink. Especially later in the evening. And especially after yoga. Now, keep in mind that my friend and I went to a wine festival on the weekend where we proceeded to drink our way through the entire park. So I says to myself, I says, "It's ok Iliana. You are just detoxing."
And then I had a thought. Maybe I'm drinking TOO MUCH if I'm still detoxing 3 days later.
I'm really grumpy and want to punch someone. It is probably best if I sign off here.
