I survived day 1! Scrambled Eggs for breakfast, salad for lunch, and a broccoli slaw concoction for dinner. I had a few almonds, cashews, grapes, and raspberries during the day, too. A boring menu, for sure. But it is all my schedule allowed for. Today will look much the same. Eventually, I'll add some variety. Or maybe not. And that's ok.
I think the hardest part about yesterday was not chewing gum. I didn't realize how much I turn to gum as a substitute for food or water. I probably go through about a half a pack of gum a day. I found myself subconscioiusly looking for it many times yesterday. It's scary that I subconsciously do things like that. Funny story about gum: After my broccoli dinner last night, I could taste my breath. I wanted a piece of gum to get the food out of my teeth and freshen my breath. I started to panic. I couldn't have gum. A mint? No, that's out of the question, too. How am I supposed to freshen my breath after eating?!?! And then it hit me. Brush your teeth, Dana. Such a simple answer. But, I've been substituting gum for mid-day tooth brushing forever. (don't judge. I don't exactly see all of you carrying your toothbrushes around with you.)
I had a dream last night that I ate a piece of chocolate without even thinking about it and had to start my 30 days over. I know it has only been a day. But in my dream it had been like 3 weeks. 30 days is a long time, people!
Now it's off to work and on with Day 2!
