Two days of nothing but watermelon and water. It was interesting. I still have two watermelons left, so I'll need to get them cut up and put in the refrigerator in the next couple of days. I find it strangely satisfying that I never actually got hungry until it was approaching meal time. I ate as much as I wanted, too. One weird side effect was the burping. After finishing a big serving of watermelon, I would burp. I've never had that happen before. At least, not after eating watermelon. Very weird.
Tomorrow starts the second part of Phase 3. I go back to the green fruit smoothies twice a day and I'm supposed to have fresh apple juice each day by itself with out any other food. I have a juicer, but for us level 1's she said to blend it with water. So, I will cut and core the apples and give em the Blentec treatment. The idea is that you get not only the apple juice but all the pulp that goes with it, including the skin. Most of the vitamins are in the skin. Or so I've heard. It should prove interesting.
The third meal of the day is a green salad. Not with your garden variety iceberg lettuce, but with actual greens: spinach, kale, collards and the like. I have other veggies to put in the salad, as well. I'm to add legumes (a different one each day), fruit (I'm not sure about this one), and raw nuts into the mix. I'll use the dressing recipe that she gives earlier in the guide. And I get to have a sprouted wheat English muffin. Yum! (No really, yum! I love sprouted wheat bread.)
At work today, I was a little on the slow side. So, I went to my home e-mail and pulled up an old e-mail that I had sent to myself with my novel in it. I began reading through it and ideas have been percolating ever since. I realized that I have left out a part for Thanksgiving night between my two main characters. I must remedy that. I don't think I'm going to write any more tonight, but I'm going to start writing on it again in the evenings. Who knows? Maybe I'll have a bestseller on my hands; maybe it will be an unmitigated flop. Point is, I'll never know unless I try.
Watch out world, I'm coming out of this cocoon of fat and turning into a butterfly. I can't wait to spread my wings and fly!
Tally ho!
