A visual reminder isolated and put up at eye level where I cannot miss it.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Waking up this morning, I felt like I was hit by a ton of bricks.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure if this exhaustion was the result of having gotten just five hours of sleep the night prior, or if this was a sign that my body was feeling weak from dropping down to just 1,198 calories the day prior.\u00a0 Maybe a combination of both.\u00a0 But I physically felt slower off the blocks this morning than on the first day, and I have to imagine that I was probably still being powered by the death row last meal the night prior to that, as opposed to this morning.<\/span><\/p>\n

After one day, I do admittedly feel a little sluggish, but I\u2019m hoping this is something that my body can adapt to, and not something that\u2019s going to make me have to tap out way sooner than I had hoped, because as sure as I am that I could power through this, it might not be the best idea in the world to force, because on a daily basis, I am not responsible for taking care of just me, but a toddler as well as a pregnant wife.\u00a0 And as much as wouldn\u2019t like having to throw in the towel, the obligations to my family are far more important than an experiment for brog content that nobody will ever read.<\/span><\/p>\n

But otherwise, it\u2019s not so terrible.\u00a0 There\u2019s some comfort in knowing that I don\u2019t have to think about what the next meal is going to be, because everything is basically planned out, so all I have to do is throw it into a bowl or onto a plate, and then eat, and then be on my merry way onto the next tasks that my day constantly demands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The only real restraints I\u2019ve really felt are when I still feel hungry, and my first inclination is to go to the pantry and grab some Oreos or dive into a bag of chips.\u00a0 I\u2019ll make a first step but then verbally state that I can\u2019t do that, and then instead usually go fill up my water bottle and slam another bottle of water, and end up peeing 50 more times throughout the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, I have to exhibit a little bit of restraint when prepping food for my kid, like licking a butter knife, after spreading almond butter onto a waffle, or not eating any remnant piece of whatever it is I\u2019m chopping up for her.\u00a0 It\u2019s not so much staving off temptation as much as it is breaking habits.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh yeah, and getting used to my coffee, black.\u00a0 It\u2019s not that I can\u2019t drink black coffee, but I typically like creamer in it.\u00a0 The irony is that coffee is kind of an appetite stimulant, so it\u2019s not really a great idea to be drinking it, but at the same time, I\u2019m useless if I don\u2019t drink it, so it\u2019s like a double-edged sword that I need.<\/span><\/p>\n
