MC day 2
I don't envision posting any long thoughtful posts regarding this, just trying to track it.
here's the timeline to date:
Saturday: ate pretty clean including "last meal" which was almost entirely raw
Sunday: started with sinus rinse, fasted
Sunday: felt tummy rumbling we call "hunger" 2-3 times
Sunday: 2 small eliminations
Sunday: by 8:30pm, I had about 100 oz of hot lemonade. I also drank water.
Sunday: senna tea at 9:30pm
Monday: awoke headachey (caffeine withdrawl?)
Monday: salt water flush at 6:15 am
Analysis:
I found myself thinking about food a lot as the day progressed, including foods I don't normally want/think about. B was kind enough to eat mostly in his office. The aromas of his foods were tantalizing, especially the ripe nectarine he ate last night. I never felt like cheating, but I was afraid all day that I would unconsciously cheat, like I would just find myself idly eating something. I felt at loose ends all day because the hours seemed to stretch out before me with nothing in them. It illuminating how much time is spent thinking about/planning for/anticipating food and eating. My mood felt strange, kind of flat affect with some moments of irritation. Then later in the evening I felt sort of crazy, but not in a bad way. I also felt pretty fatigued and some joint soreness.
Yesterday was our day off, so our schedule wasn't normal. Today is a work day. Off to work!
