Aargh. Okay, so the hardest part about this fast so far has been the headaches from the lack of caffeine! Yikes. I expected the food part of it to be much harder, but so far actually it's not so bad. I actually like this kind of food... (Nick, well, that's another story...)
However, I have decided to wean off of coffee and started pretty dramatically yesterday. I am usually a 3-4 cup per day kind of girl... so I switched to half-caf yesterday and just had one cup (BLACK-- none of my usual cream and sugar.) By the afternoon I had a pretty kickin' headache and by bedtime I could hardly see straight. I actually wanted to go to bed FAR earlier than I did, but the season premier of 'The Office' was on and I wasn't missing that. BTW- it was fine... kind of funny, but not as funny as it has been... ALso, not digging Jim and Pam being together... it's a weird unfunny dynamic. Nick's prediction is that Pam will end up with Toby. Hmmm... (Wow, I am a LOSER... discussing TV characters as if they are real people... thank goodness it's the only show I watch.)
YEsterday some people were asking me what we planned on eating... for an example here's what we had yesterday:
Breakfast:
steel cut oats cooked in water with a dash of cinnamon and a small handful of walnuts + fruit
Lunch:
Salad made from chick peas, cucumbers, red onion, red pepper, balsamic vinegar and olive oil
Dinner:
Black beans cooked with onions and tomatoes over brown rice
For snacks we had fruit (yesterday was peaches and bananas), nuts (peanuts or almonds), and veggies (carrot sticks)
It was actually all pretty tasty... today I want to focus more on actually letting myself get hungry and bypassing that hunger from time to time.
