DAY 3

...of this wretched diet and i have officially lost my mind. my mouth tastes like a green onion and i am now sipping V8 out of a martini glass in the mornings.

coffee without sugar? will i ever get used to it? i'm only on day 3 and i'm sticking with no sugar in my coffee for the whole two weeks. then i will make my decision.

i would kill for an apple. it's amazing what you really crave when it comes down to it. i was sure i would say ~ i feel hungry and need carbs, like pasta. i do miss pasta, but i'm not hungry. my body is already working so much better than with all the carbs.

sam craves beer and gummy bears. and probably other things too, that really do fuel your energy, like pasta. he has long work days so i'm sure this is harder for him. and he's 6'4". that's a lot of body to fuel with turkey slices and cheese sticks.

there are some things about this diet, though, that i can already tell will stick with me. the V8 every morning is wonderful. the no alcohol thing ~ imperative. sure, i'll have a glass of wine a couple times a week, or less. but i feel everything working better inside already. and this feeling of not being hungry and empty like i felt with the carbs is really awesome. i made it through a whole 3-hour rehearsal last night, feeling satiated. that's new.

but i miss fruit. i'm glad i miss fruit. can't wait to add it back in. sam probably hates me for this, but i'm glad we're on it.

and the workouts. oh my gosh. i'm sore all over. as usual, my impatient self is ready to see results. after 2 days. RIDICULOUS!!
