Day 1- Holding Strong

The first day went as well as can be expected. My lovely morning started at 5 am by chugging a liter of salt water. Delicious! Ok not really. About a half hour later I felt like I had food poisoning. The lemonade drinks (lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper) aren't horrible but I definitely put way too much pepper in. I could hardly swallow the second batch I had made. I let Ossie (2 y/0) try some and he loved it. He also drinks 3 glasses of hot tea a day. He's seriously an 80 year old man trapped in a 2 year old body.

I made lunch for the kiddos and had to stop some of the automatic reactions to put bits of food in my mouth. I'm pretty proud of myself for not eating while cooking. That's probably one of the hardest aspects of this. I'm wondering if the temptation will get too much. Down time like this is difficult too. Every time a Dominos commercial comes on the TV or I open my fridge to get water, I feel like I might crack. But I allowed my refridgerator to become relatively vacant on purpose and let's be honest, Dominos is disgusting.

Ten days is starting to feel like a decade away but I'm optimistic that I'll be able to keep it up. Though Chipotle sound amazingly delicious right now. I'm so excited to eat again. Sexy Pizza is at the top of my list...
