Day One is DONE

...and we're in the morning of Day 2. I was a snotty, cranky, you-know-what yesterday afternoon. Could have been nerves, could have been just adjusting to the new normal. Didn't feel hungry, which is like, my number one priority. That feeling is so uncomfortable, and it makes me wanna eat junk food.

Meals for yesterday:

Breakfast: scrambled eggs cooked in coconut oil + hemp seeds, salt. Coffee w/sugar free creamer (last day of that...on to Stevia + whole milk)
Lunch: mixed green salad w/walnuts + tahini, milk
Dinner: kale salad + sunflower seeds + feta, peas, lima beans.

Felt more thirsty than usual yesterday. Seems to happen when I eat "more protein". I know this because like I said, I've dabbled in the advanced plan before. Kinda the dress rehearsal for the real deal, lol. The absence of hunger was weird the first time around, and it left me feeling nervous and idle. How often do things center around food and the preparation of it? Seeking out and nibbling?

All day it felt like I was noticing everything that had sugar in it. Things that I would have thought nothing of eating before, like the blue corn chip samples at Whole Foods. When I had my salad at lunch, I did a visual scan of "all the dressings" in the fridge, and none are eligible choices. Ah, well. Rediscovered how much I love tahini yesterday, and made a mental note to stop by the indian grocer soon.

Needed workout bands for T3, and wanted to start on an actual Monday. After grocery shopping at Sam's and Whole Foods, I just couldn't consider lugging the two littles into the sporting goods store. Especially with perishables in the trunk. Here's where I start to get pissy. I called Jerry to ask him to pick up the exercise bands, and since he was at work he logged onto the internet to get EXACTLY what I wanted. Except there's 35 different kinds of bands online. I'm like: I need a band with handles. THAT'S IT. The tubing should be color coded. I need MEDIUM. Poor guy was trying to clarify, and I was in the mode of: just effing DO IT already. Bands. Now. Medium. I'm not normally like that.

Then he gets home, we're set to start, and he's ready to take the "before" shots. REALLY??? I wanted to do this YESTERDAY. So, I was irritated the whole time while we're doing the measurements. I was mad because he couldn't hold the measuring tape "right" and I just did it myself and he read off the numbers. Even that was irritating, because he was saying things like "26 and two eighths" and I'm mad because it's like....um, two eighths is ONE FOURTH!!! But thankfully I don't *say* that, I'm thinking it in my mind. I realize I was the unreasonable one, and I'm not quite sure where the irritation comes from. This was about 5pm, and I ultimately went to bed early because I was just....done.

Woke up alert and refreshed this morning at 5:30am. Sometimes it's too hard to get up that early, but my sleep was exceptional.
