Being on the MC wasn't a problem during this hectic week, I just drank my lemonade and didn't really think about it until I got home (yes, yes, except when I walked by the falafel shop). Still, unlike the first two go-rounds, I haven't really been obsessing over what foods I'm going to eat post-fast, or what I wish I were eating right now or any of that. I have somehow convinced myself that it's simply not an option right now and so I don't torture myself with those fantasies. Is this newfound super will power a result of the fast? I don't know. Will it last beyond the fast? I doubt it. Will it last through the day? I certainly hope so!
Last night I had my first, and so far only, detox symptom, a monster headache that haunted me late afternoon until I went to sleep. Check that, I kid you not, but I am developing a second headache as I type this. It's like recalling yesterday's, manifested one today, right now. Great. Super. Can you take aspirin on the MC? I didn't last night and I won't today unless I am suffering greatly. I'm sure that won't be the case. Here I am using that newfound super will power to convince myself that my headache is soon is dissipate. I believe that. Sure I do. Hope it works.
As for my first social outing on the MC, I met some friends in a tearoom the other night and we chatted about our summer holidays. Food was available but none of us ate and I wasn't tempted by what I saw at the other tables. I ordered a yogi tea and had a good time sharing stories. I had class early next morning, so I bailed on continuing on with them to a pub, (where I would have just been drinking water anyway).
Well, I'm going to go for a walk along the river right now and maybe see a movie tonight if I can find anything worth watching. I'll start the moving in earnest tomorrow.
Peace everybody,
