The detox plan, day 4

Day 4 started out well. I tried taking a sleeping pill last night around 10:30 so that instead of constantly thinking about spaghetti and meatballs, I would just sleep through the cravings, like a real addict. Well that didn't work. It took me over an hour to fall asleep but I did wake up pretty refreshed and energetic. I did the dishes AND laundry, which on a regular day is a lot of housework for me. But when I drove to work, BAM! My old friend fatigue showed up. I ate my lunch (an apple with a carrot/apple/beet/ginger juice) and felt a little better but once I started walking around a lot I got a little lightheaded. I think if I ever pursue my rap star dreams, my name will be Lil Lightheaded. My first single will be "NO JUDGEMENT" and I'll have my very own dance move where you just sway your head back and forth kind of drunkenly, while you body stays still. My album cover will feature a Bojangles french fry box fighting an apple. Other chart-topping hits include, "Sit Yo Ass Down", "Put Yo Head Between Yo Knees", and "Drink Dis Sassy Water". If you're unfamiliar, sassy water is lemon and cucumber water made popular by the "Skinny Girl" diet, or the "Sassy Girl" diet. Whatever.

Oh yeah, back to reality. Today, a co-worker had a meatball sub from Firehouse and my nose led me to it-on the other side of the building. In addition to being lightheaded, my sense of smell has been heightened to lead me to all the delicious food I cannot eat. These sweet potato fries will be my savior. I had them for dinner last night and breakfast this morning. Even though I want them for dinner, I will probably make this avocado, cherry tomato, bell pepper salad that has lemon, cayenne pepper, and cilantro in it. Who am I kidding? I'll probably still have the sweet potato fries. Lil Lightheaded out!
