Day 2: Already a Cheating Scandal

Confession: As I anticipated, I was hungry around bedtime last night. That's no big surprise; I consumed less than 500 calories for the entire day. I didn't want to break into my juice stash for today (since I only had 3 with me), so before I went to bed, afraid that hunger would keep me awake, I ate a cheese stick. One.

There were only 90 calories in that little jewel, but it curbed my hunger, so I'm not beating myself up about it. 

Today I was able to sleep a little later since I was already in Amarillo, and didn't have to get up crazy early to drive to class. I think the extra sleep has helped to keep me from feeling super hungry today. So far, I've had another Bolthouse farms protein plus shake (chocolate, yum), a This Tastes Raaw Better Beets juice (which is exactly what it sounds like) and a Strawberry and Purple Carrot juice from the same brand.

These were both really good (and pretty, which helps for some reason), so I'm going to try to get our grocery store to order more flavors of this juice, because they have a lot that I would like to try, including pineapple cucumber, very berry wheat grass, and carrot lemonade. Cross your fingers for me. I obviously need to be drinking more juice per day, since 500 calories is not going to cut it long term (or even short term, if I'm honest). My mistake here was not looking at the calories on the juices, and only packing 3 per day (when I really should be taking 5 or 6). Oh well, live and learn. 

I don't feel starving yet, and I don't feel particularly edgy or any meaner than usual (it's a pretty high bar). For the good of society, let's all hope that continues. 

A bit of a non-sequitur: My mom handled cremated remains over the weekend (putting them in memorial jewelry for a friend), and didn't get squicked out. I am -super- proud! Death interaction for the win! 

It's already 9pm, and I'm home, with access to the juicer, so I don't anticipate another cheating scandal tonight. I know you'll forgive me for the last one!
