Long week!

Well. We're at day 6. Just one more day left before we can finally eat BEANS! Yay! I'm afraid my stomach is going to explode because I'm likely to overeat them this week.

To recap the last few days, there were definitely some rough spots. Some highlights include:

- Sitting next to someone eating pizza at a meeting and being SO distracted I couldn't think.

- My office having a happy hour last week that I had to miss out on.

- Not wanting to go out in the evening at all this weekend, because that would tempt me to drink.

- Anytime I smell coffee.

- In general, I notice I can't concentrate at work like I usually can. I blame the lack of coffee.

I have noticed some good things though.

- I am so much more aware of what I eat. In turn, I am aware that I must typically put a ton of crap in my mouth without giving it a second thought.

- I think I'm relearning what feeling hungry feels like. Usually anytime I'm bored or thirsty, my first instinct is to eat. With the cleanse though, I find myself being more particular of what and when I eat. Also, I don't feel hungry even though I'm really eating a lot less than usual.

-I've been falling asleep within about 5 minutes every night versus the typical 20-40 minutes.

I'm definitely glad I'm doing this, but it is tough. More than anything, it's just tiring to constantly have to think about what you're putting in your mouth.
