I can smell EVERYTHING. It's cruel that I have to walk through my kitchen to get to my bedroom and bathroom. I swear I can tell what's been left open on the counters as soon as I walk in the front door. Yesterday afternoon the beer/booze bug bit me pretty hard. I think I have some scars from the battle that ensued, but I fought it off. And as it turns out, I'm pretty sure I saw the top of my abs pop up and wink at me in the mirror this morning. I won't weigh until Friday, but I know I'm down. So perhaps the rewards will start to come in along with the struggles.
I can only concur with C that the NEPA is mostly targeted at us cubicle pirates. Not that his job is any more physically demanding than mine. However, not having to prepare a breakfast in the morning has afforded me plenty of time to go for a good walk. It hasn't really been about the exercise for me. I get up and pop a couple of Hot Rox and head out the door. That stuff kills the hunger and honestly tweaks me up to a fun little buzz. I get to spend 30-45 minutes just walking with God before the rest of the world has a chance to climb on my back. I'm gonna try to keep this up after the diet is over. Looking forward to this afternoon's workout. Should be crazy intense.

i can smell Kleenex. i do think maybe having murderous, bludgeoning allergies might be a boon on this here diet. Occasionally my sinuses'll clear for a bit and, dude, yeah-- i can pick out the sage from the saffron from half a mile upwind. And i talked to Meg this morning to get yer address, and she said you got a li'l cranky last night, but you're dealing well, and that she's mighty proud of you for laying off the sauce. Cliiing to tha wagon, baby! Steph quit drinking with me for the duration, and last night she's all, "I want a beer like crazy." And after she said it the third or fourth time, i was like Whadderyoo tryin' to do?! Would you stop saying that, woman! So we made some tea. i've really gotten into herbal teas. It's a nice chill out before hittin' the sack.
It is 9:45 in the morning, and i was still hungry after i finished my 8:00 shake. /And those hotrox are doing their thing today: i had to really focus to keep the car between the correct two lines this morning. i weighed this morning pre-poop, and i'm down 5 lbs. today is day 9, so i'd reckon i'm pretty much on track. Stay strong dude. It'll happen.
