so about an hour after blogging last night, karen and i both started getting some pretty serious hunger pangs. she ate some cucumber but i just ignored it and we went to bed. and then a few times in the middle of the night the hunger pangs woke me up, but again i just ignored them and slept it off.
this morning we were both feeling a little better as far as hunger goes. we were just kind of normal, so we got up and went about our usual sunday morning routine. for breakfast we had an assortment of fruit - cantaloupe, pineapple, strawberry, & grapes. not exactly following the diets plan, but eh, close enough. fruit is fruit.
then we ran some errands and went to church. after church we came home and had lunch. lunch was another salad, though this time we were allowed mixed greens [ooo, different kinds of lettuce...] and a few almonds with our orange. when it was over i was still feeling pretty hungry, but i just sucked it up and occupied my mind with a movie and working on the house model - meanwhile my AMAZING wife ironed some work shirts for me for this week. love her! :]
after all that we went to go workout again and this time i was seriously wrecked after the run. i was feelin very dizzy, light headed, and faint. so we walked a few laps and then did a light workout before heading home.
once we got home we got cleaned up and then did dinner, we actually just finished. after my little spell at the rec center im convinced that we're definitely not getting enough protein to sustain our workout schedule, so we cheated a little at dinner. we werent supposed to have olives till tomorrow night, but we had some tonight and then we added some black beans to the salad for protein - which were definitely never mentioned in the plan, but eh, screw it. i think over all we're still doing really good even if we are feeling extremely hungry most of the time.
its the weirdest feeling being stuffed full of food, but feeling so empty and unsatisfied at the same time, just bizarre. i think mentally my health is not quite what it should be. i used to get excited about eating, and now it just depresses me to think about food. meal time is turning into more of a torturous experience than a happy one. but im sure i'll survive. meanwhile, the only thought that is clearly on the fore-front of my mind all the time is this new triple steak burrito from taco bell that we saw a commercial for when we were working out yesterday. just thinking about it now makes me salivate. it looks so delicious.... ugh. diets suck.
well thats all ive got for now. karen and i are about to go see burn after reading at the local theatre. it looks pretty funny and its got a pretty all-star cast from what i know about it, so hopefully we wont be disappointed.
all-right kids, play nice.
tune in again same bat-man time, same bat-man place.

I miss taco bell!!!!
Just caught up on your past two days. I'm gonna look at your detox plan tomorrow, and see what it's like. There are a lot of raw type diets going around - I looked through a book this weekend on one and I fell in love with some of the recipes...
Anyhoo, hope it goes well - You just have to remind yourself it's only a week - and then you can be actually satisfied again. We totally went through the being 'depressed about eating' phase. We're such foodies that it was hard.
And, for some reason, taco bell cravings must be a symptom of detox. The whole 21 days we were on the diet Chance talked about that stupid volcano taco from Taco Bell and how bad he wanted to try it. Lol.
Then we went to taco bell two days ago and that taco looked horrible and I had no desire to eat it. But for some reason I really wanted one of those tacos when we were dieting. I think it's all in the marketing.
wow, thats too bad... i really love those volcano tacos, haha! theyre so tasty! its sad, i know, but that triple steak burrito has my name all over it as soon as this stupid diet is over. ;)
