Detox: Week 1

Monday: got up at 9, started the food plan, worked out, ate, ate, ate...already sick of the food plan, I e-mailed my nutritionist to find out when I get a day off the plan. she e-mailed back: "in 8 weeks".
Tuesday: successfully fought the urge to steal a french fry from the Happy Meal a client left in my office while she went to the restroom...
Wednesday: watched the rest of the staff eat a big-ass chocolate cake while celebrating Dec/Jan birthdays, tried to rationalize how to document the cake as a serving of protein on my meal plan sheet, gave up and glared at everyone instead.
Thursday: i have absolutely no memory of thursday because i was thinking about cupcakes, McDonalds, ice-cream, and candy cane Joe-Joe's from Trader Joe's.
Friday: day 5 without sugar. was a complete bitch to the 16-year-old-just-doing-his-job dude at the movie theater who wouldn't let me take my nalgene of water in with me. went home after the movie, broke my diet and ate dried apricots dipped in nutella to take the edge off. it worked (thank GOD) and i slept like a baby.
Saturday: woke up feeling like someone had taken a razor to my throat. spent the day in bed nursing my sore throat and staying away from sugar.
Sunday: throat still sore, feeling some pain in my left flank...wondering if this is reason enough to quit the meal plan...

Pro's: drastic increase in energy level, sleeping better at night, feeding my body fuel instead of sugar.
Con's: I MISS SUGAR!!!...and my throat is sore...

Will keep you posted on week two.
