Sluggish

The first week is the hardest. I'm on day two and I'm hungry. The bars are pretty good, I had a bowl of their chicken noodle soup yesterday after I posted and it wasn't bad. Being at rehearsal all day outside wasn't very helpful though.

I had my two bars in the morning with my vitamins, and by lunch I felt like I was starving, so I compromised my schedule a little and had a grilled chicken sandwich from Sonic. It counted as my meat and a third of my vegetable portion for the day. I'm still not sure if I'm supposed to have bread.... regardless, it was wheat so it wasn't that bad. I'll have to ask my counselor on Tuesday.

It was over 96 degrees the whole time and even though I drank MORE than enough water for my diet AND the heat, I felt pretty yucky by about 6:00. I came home and kept to my eating schedule, but I still don't feel great. Resting helped a LOT. I had to stand and walk and act at rehearsal and I kinda think I shouldn't have done so much. They encouraged me to avoid working out for the first 3 weeks because of the amount of protein that I'm consuming on the diet. Apparently it can damage my muscle tissue if I work out before my body is used to the new foods.

With all the work I put in making these muscles, I don't even want to think about risking deterioration.

I had some green beans (my other 2/3 of veggies for the day) about an hour ago and that helped settle my stomach a little.

I want to crawl into bed and sleep off this yucky, hungry feeling though... blegh.
