Well, I can see that I am going to have to clean my house, expressly for the purpose of not being able to see any food! I am eyeing the package of oreos that are still sitting under my table and thinking about quiting already -- before I have even started! :D
Nah, I got through work without needing to eat any chocolate chips -- without munching... I was thinking about them for a while though, I even contemplated giving the tin to my coworker and tell him not to give them back to me for 15 days at least! I know that he would have some fun with this and tease me with them the entire time. Now I'm glad I didn't! :)
Well -- my stomach is rumbling. I guess I better get up and get some OJ. I did eat a banana at lunch. I am wondering if maybe the OJ is too sugary for me? I have drank about half a gallon and I have tell-tale migrane symptoms. Mostly splitting pain on the right side of my face and head -- my cheekbone feels like someone hit me -- it feels bruised or something, but I know I didn't do anything to it last night or this morning. I don't remember waking up with it. I think it is a migraine... :( All I can think is that it was the OJ - maybe way too sugary, let's see----- about 250grams of sugar for the entire bottle (that's like a cup!)
but granted it is natural sugars from the fruit - not preservatives or additives in this stuff.
--- I see that the maple syrup has around the same for the entire day. Must just be the oranges (as I am sucking down another glass of if it...) I do remember while reading 'Eating for your BloodType) that I should stay away from oranges. I can't remember why. Maybe cause they give me migraines!!
Anyway -- starting to seriously contemplate how stupid I am for not having bought myself a juicer before all this! :) My little hand squeezer sucks. Maybe I'll run to the store tonight and pick up one that fits over your glass. I'll see how far I get with this little one before it annoys the crap out of me.
One thing that I am worried about tomorrow -- i did try the lemonade last friday just to try it out -- Man I had cramps and the runs and gas the entire day.
Ok -- I must confess -- when I first tried it - I put in a whole teaspoon of cayanne pepper!! And not once while I was gulping it down (and screaming, oh my god this is hot) did I think to go back to the website and reread the directions to make sure i had it right. I did that AFTER I drank it! I am a loon. THen I discovered it was only supposed to be 1/10 of a teaspoon. So it gave me a bit of heartburn in the AM and that could be why I wasn't feeling good the entire day. Also I had eaten a burritto the night before which probably wasn't good. :) SO that was my very first experience with the drink. It was quite a bit more - um - managable with only a dash of cayenne pepper instead. :) Hopefully tomorrow will be better. So I am hoping that if I take the tea tonight and do the salt water flush in the morning that will help so that I am not running to the potty every five minutes. I will need to get up around 6AM too, I hear that the SWF goes through you pretty fast, but I don't want to take any chances! :) I guess it is an experience that can't be described until you try it yourself. The book says to think of it as broth -- and that you're not supposed to drink it really fast -- drink it over 10 minutes otherwise you will get nausea and it will flush the wrong way!
I also think I might mix up enough lemon juice and maple syrup and take it to work for an afternoon tide-me-over. THat's when I start to get hungry and reach for the chocolate chips. But you're not supposed to mix it with the water or the cayenne pepper until you drink it -- the syrup acts as a preservative. Still -- it's better just to drink it as fresh as possible - within ten minutes of squeezing the lemon juice.
ALso found out that you're supposed to store your lemons out on the counter for at least two days before using them -- if they're refigerated the enzyemes in the citress go dorment and it doesn't work as well.
Well, better quit writing or I will never stop! I guess I sat down to do this now because it kept my mind off of eating. Maybe this week I will get more writing done -- I tend to eat more when I watch TV so maybe I should just not watch TV huh?
See ya.
