It’s day two today since [finally] deciding to eat better. My thirst is back. Normally I’m almost never thirsty – even when it’s hot out. I know I need to drink water, especially when I’m outside doing yard work and I get dizzy when I stand up. I know enough to go inside and drink some water to replace what I’m losing via perspiration. Now, I’m sitting at my desk and thinking, “I am THIRSTY!” and I have to get up and get some water. It’s so strange, but makes getting those 8 glasses or whatever the trendy water recommendation is a lot easier. Trying to drink that much water when you’re not thirsty is probably some form of torture somewhere…
I am also tired, moody, and have had a mild bought of nausea here and there. I wasn’t moody yesterday, except that my husband inadvertently put me in a state of hysterics with a one-liner he directed at the TV last night when we were watching the women’s 100m dash qualifications during the Olympics. It doesn’t seem very funny to anyone I’ve told the story to, so I’m assuming my overreaction to the comment is the more fun side of ‘moodiness’ caused by my body being flooded with toxins… or maybe just withdrawals for sugar and grains. I’m eating plenty of carbs in the form of fruits and veggies, so it’s not so bad – actually, I’m really enjoying the food. It takes time and preparation, but once it’s out of the way, I find it really easy to eat healthier because I do love fresh food in general. I almost never shop those ‘inner aisles’ at the grocery store, anyway…
