Today marks one-third of my experiment complete. I am feel very tired tonight, not so much because I have no caffeine, but I don't think I ate very well today; not enough vegetables.
The past couple of days have had some of the most tempting moments. Just one latte would get me through the day so much faster. But, the reason for this blogs existence has been proven valuable. I can't. I've put myself under public awareness, so I can't fail.
Some changes I've noticed since I started...
1. As expected, I sleep longer and better. I wake up much more refreshed and usually don't wake up in the middle of the night.
2. I go to the gym much more often.
3. I'm much more mellow and don't take things as personally. I'm not nearly as angry at work as when I started this experiment.
4. When driving more often I stay in the right lane. I'm not as anxious to get where I'm going.
It just came to me that other than an experiment in self-discipline, "the tasteless life" is a revolt against artificial flavors and chemicals. To this extent I've only been half-successful. I'm still chewing gum like a fiend and usually have a candy bar sometime during the day. I need to work on that. Maybe I'll stop chewing gum tomorrow. Maybe not.
I found out that regular Wrigley's is the best for the sugar addict. Most of the newer gums with the fancy packages and heavy marketing don't live up to their container.
