Juicy juice

[austin_tycho]

I am doing the juice part of the fast. Now I can smell food from a mile away, and had The Food Dream, which everyone who does this fast has (as far as I know). It's just a dream where you eat food that you're not supposed to be eating. Interestingly, it wasn't about food I typically crave; it was about burracho beans and popcorn with lots of melted butter. Gawd, I could really go for something meaty, like some pot roast or a cheeseburger right now, and I'm usually not even that much of a carnivore. Ah well, just a few more days.

I stayed up late writing last night, then Eric came home and was chatty, then he went off to do something and came to bed later. I'm a light sleeper, so this woke me up and I ended up going to work half-asleep. Between the sleep deprivation and the diet I was feeling way too spaced-out at work and decided to come home around 3:30pm. It was hotter than Hades and I was on the scooter, but it didn't bother me a bit. Maybe it's the low humidity.

We're still on to visit Dad for Father's Day this weekend. I hope that goes well. He wants to take us out to the firing range. I would normally be all over that but maybe I'll keep Elaine company while the guys go this time.

Yeah, it's not just food; I think everyone who makes some sort of a promise to themselves or others not to do some certain thing inevitably has a dream where they do it and then remember in the middle or afterwards that they're not supposed to and finally feel guilty about it. I've had that with strict diets and also with bouts of sobriety.

Oh God, I am so sorry for talking about food tonight. I am just reading this now, and the fast completely slipped my mind. I was addle-brained.

It's cool! I have tried very hard for this little dietary jaunt of mine to have little to no impact on anyone else. It's my test after all, and observing how we interact with food is part of it. So no worries.
