siete y ocho

So today is day 8. I had a pretty busy weekend.

It's definitely getting harder.

Of course it doesn't help that I have had to endure birthday parties, catered work parties, offers for homemade ethnic cuisine, Wahoos, In n' Out, and countless other mouth watering meals. There's no doubt that the biggest battle is the simple act of eating. Obviously.

I am finding it harder to get my water in the busier I get. I am starting to feel quite dehydrated throughout the day. I noticed the day after the SWF I felt really dehydrated, and I woke up with bad lower back pain. I read online that this is a sign of dehydration. I have been trying to get my water in more, and I have decided to hold off on any SWF's until I get my water intake up.

I am getting used to the lemonade more and more. Tonight I am trying to freeze a small mug of it to see if it will be like a tasty Italian ice. We'll see.

I daily look forward to sleeping. Not because I'm tired, quite the contrary I have been surprisingly full of energy through this whole process. I look forward to sleeping because I escape to dreams full of savory and delicious feasts. Last night I ate some delicious bow tie pasta drenched in a thick creamy alfredo sauce. It was great because I woke up guilt free! haha

I am off to drink some more water and possibly a cup of herbal tea. My guilty pleasure! :)
