Day 1 - noon


So this morning was easy, I was pumped to finally be doing this after days of preparing for it... But now, it is "lunchtime" and everyone else is eating. I have the sweet smells of coworkers Lean Cuisines wafting into my office. The reality that this is going to be way tougher than I thought is really setting in.

I have read that while doing this I will crave foods, often bizarre foods that you don't even like. Right now I am craving a sub, but not just any sub... in 1999 I worked as a park ranger in Mason, MI for the summer. That summer I would often go to this little store that had a deli and made the best homemade subs. It is these subs that I can taste in my mouth right now! Mind you I havent had these subs in almost a decade and I havent thought about them in almost as long. However, this morning I can taste them on my tounge as clear as if I had just taken a bite of one... very surreal, about as surreal as tastebuds can get I suppose.

Other notes:
- I have already gone to the bathroom twice.
- The cayenne pepper leaves a very strong after taste. I have found it is way easier to chug this lemonade, because the cayenne only comes on AFTER you are done drinking.
- My pee smells like popcorn. That is disturbing on several fronts.
