Today I began a rather sadistic journey: Two weeks of eating everything but meat products and sugar, all in the name of wishing for a lifestyle of less body pain. Read the back story here. I'll be honest. Today was obnoxious. I spent almost every moment of it fixated on eating sugar. I wasn't even hungry. I just wanted ice cream or chocolate covered fruit or or or... I felt rather crazed. Like I was trying to quit cigarrettes. Cigarettes. It makes me happy that I didn't know how to spell the word on the first try.
Best food of the day: I quickly chopped 1/2 onion, 2 zucchinis, and 2 garlic cloves and tossed them in a pan. I tossed them into a bowl of Trader Joe's Creamy Corn & Roasted Pepper soup. YUMMY!!! Adding anything to soup is always a quick way of seasoning and creating a seemingly fancy meal. Try veggies, noodles, and/or rice.
Guiltless Cheat: I needed dinner and was out of the house. My raw almonds and dried cranberries were entirely uninteresting. A friend purchased a carved turkey sandwich for me. It was amazing. (I actually do feel a bit guilty.)
And I enjoyed my dark chocolate.

In other news, my bowels seem to have "awoken." It is healthy to need to use the bathroom more often, and my stool has a more natural tone and consistency, but it's a bit bothersome to need to go to the bathroom on short notice.
Only two weeks. ONLY two weeks. That's what I must remind myself.
