My Brain is Irritating

So I should be on day 8 of 9 with Detox, but we're amending the diet. It's not really fair for my cast and other co-workers to suffer from my lack of carbs. We moved on to Phase II a couple days early, except we're amending that too. It's supposed to be adding back in meat, some more dairy, and some grains, but not enough. We're making it fit our lifestyle better and working out more frequently to make up for the food choices we're bound to make. For instance: I want to make dishes that I can easily pack to take to work and eat between shows. Pasta is excellent for such things, but isn't supposed to be eaten for 3 more weeks. Screw that. I can have coffee again though. Thank god.

I came to an interesting conclusion around 10:15 pm last night though. We were sitting at Applebee's, preparing to officially end Detox by ordering formerly forbidden food when I realized now that I can have pasta again, I no longer crave it. My pasta craving was intense on Day 3 and Day 6 of Detox, but the MINUTE I told myself I could have it again, the craving lessened. Thus: My Brain is Irritating.

All in all though, the diet has been a good idea so far. I'm slightly more motivated to work out, I lost some weight and intend to keep going (albeit in a healthier fashion), and I had the willpower to not consume pasta, bread, cheese, or coffee for a week. I thought I was going to FAIL on the coffee part, but I am stronger than I thought. Huh. Go me.
