I'm not even done with the first week and already I'm finding it hard to eat enough to quench my hunger. I've never been a really big fan of bread or bread products, but my typical simple breakfast of a small 1 cup bowl of cereal was always enough to keep me satisfied till lunch. I'm missing my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and cheese. Potatoes and corn -again, like bread, not a main stay on my traditional menu so not a big deal there.
I will of course confess that hunger and boredom won out twice over the last four days. Boredom on the 4th of July because it was too hot to cook or do anything else for that matter -but I will say I did an outstanding job drinking my allotment of water (something I have always struggled with). Then there was yesterday (Friday). The end of a long hot and humid week, I was desperately craving a pick-me up. A dark chocolate mocha in the morning was just enough to suffice, but when I over cooked my filet of cod in the microwave at lunch and the power went out an hour later forcing the temperatures to rise within the office, I suddenly found someone handing me a 4 ounce sized Root Beer Float and rather than be good, I just smiled and sucked it down.
So much for the start of my first week. This is only an experiment after all and once again I cannot hold myself up to be a perfect human specimen -with that in mind I will just try harder to work around my two failings: boredom and hunger.
