Wave 1, Day 2
Day: 2
Mood: Chillaxin'
Breakfast: 1 cup Whole Grain Shredded Wheat, 1 cup milk, ice coffee w/cream and Splenda
Lunch: Salad: Romaine lettuce, raw spinach, broccoli, turkey breast, olive oil and champagne vinegar; water & unsweetened iced tea.
Dinner:Salad: Romaine lettuce, raw spinach, broccoli, cucumber, sunflower seeds, olive oil, vinegar; steamed broccoli & pea pods; beef**; 1 slice multigrain bread; water & unsweetened iced tea.
** The pickings in the cafeteria are a bit slim on the weekend. The guy serving said it was chili (it had kidney beans mixed in); it tasted like bbq. Needless to say, I put 1/3 cup of it on my slice of toast and called it protein. I really couldn't bear the thought of eating lunch meat with my salad/vegetable combo.
Snack(s): 11 almonds, water
Exercise: It's Saturday -- I went to a movie and indulged my creative side.
I woke up at 8am very well rested and ready to start the day. This is rather abnormal for a Saturday. Perhaps its the Sonoma, or the fact that I went to bed at a conventional time (10:30ish). I dunno, but it was lovely.
I had another headache today for which I continue to hold the simple sugar detox accountable. I've noticed that I am satisfied at every meal, but very, very hungry when the next meal rolls around -- I suppose I am teaching my body to be satisfied with what it needs rather than what it wants/has grown accustomed to.
Speaking of, I've started craving the strangest things. Last night it was Spinach Dip, an after-school snack my best friend and I would make during our high school years. Today, while I was watching Clive Owen do a masterful job of robbing a bank in 'The Inside Man" I really wanted pizza. Really, really wanted the cheese on the pizza, actually. And sitting in a theatre full of snackers didn't really help matters. I'll have to take some almonds to my next matinee.
Good Things About Day Two:
- mmmm.... broccoli (another power food!)
- still chugging along
Bad Things About Day Two:
- Headache-- I was reluctant to take anything (asprin, excedrin, etc.) because I wasn't certain that using a OTC drug when you were trying to clean out your system was a good idea. After all, they don't give anything to heroine addicts when they're going through withdrawal, right? My friend laughed at my question (and the suggestion that going off simple sugars is anything like going off of illegal drugs) and explained that "they" give heroin addicts methodone.... I popped two Excedrin immediately!
- semi-mysterious dinner protein
