I never thought I could exude so much will power over food. Proud that we made it through breakfast. Both of us were down a few lbs., but that was mostly water. I managed to fo Zumba early this morning, but I am afraid I just cant stick it out to the end. The problem is not so much the liquid diet. It happened unexpectedly as I was grading tests. I couldn't add the numbers or correctly mark the multiple choice. I am afraid I will have to go back and rescore them. That is when I realized that I would have to stop. We had butternut squash soup for lunch...with crackers. Now for a nap. I have to get my mind ready for Monday and back to school.
So in retrospect, it isn't so much the stomach as it is the brain that gets all out of whack. I think that I will still do a 1 day detox here or there, but 3 is a bridge too far for me. Maybe if I could spend the day in transcendental meditation contemplating the philosophy if Emerson and Thoreau, or go off to a Tibetan mountain, but not in the real world where I have to THINK and PERFORM.
So we almost made it...that's good enough for me. I feel less bloated, and my stomach can't hold as much food, so that's a plus.
Signing off on this experiment!
