Day 3

Well, Day three on this detox experiment, and all seems well. 

I found it easier to wake up this morning, which is a noticeable difference.  I wonder if it's the lack of caffeine, which allowed me to do such.  Whatever the reason, it was suprising, and unlike me, that's for sure.

Now the following might fall under "Too Much Information" so if you are not interested in hearing about my bowel movements, please skip this paragraph. :-)   That being said, I am suprised that on the third day of not eating anything, I passed two, solid stools that were, for a lack of better descripton, thick, dark, sludge.  They were solid, which shows, if nothing else, that my body is expelling waste even in the absense of intake.  So that's positive.  I guess that's the reason why I'm doing this.    Now when I was in the prep, and only eating veggies and fruits, my BM's were broken up, and very liquidy.  So it's interesting to me that now they are more solid, and dark, dark.  They also smell horrible. ( much worse than a normal BM ).    I am encouraged by this.

So with all that nastiness aside, I suppose all things are progressing as they should on this diet.  My sense of smell is still extremely heightened, as I am savoring every smell from every restaurant I walk by.  Pure torture  :-)   I'm still very interested in learning more about cooking, and am seriously considering taking a cooking class!  I'm investigating.   Finally, I can't shake the craving to want to eat my body weight in spicy breakfast sausages!  ugh.
