Day 3 - GBJD

It's Day 3. Tomorrow I'm supposed to start feeling somewhat normal again. That would be nice, because right now, I'm lightheaded and befuddled. I've managed to be out and about all day running errands, but I'm glad I wasn't driving. I stopped in at Whole Foods and got a juice from their juice bar. I think they are the only people in Nashville who do that - there are a couple of smoothie places, but from what I can tell, most of their stuff comes from concentrate and is loaded with sugar. I'm actually doing fine without eating. If I felt good, it would all be okay. I think a lot of the way I feel results from lack of caffeine, still.

You're supposed to be nice to yourself during times like these. I treated myself to a couple of gourmet loose leaf teas from Franklin Tea, a fantastic little tea shop in Franklin, TN. Usually I get annoyed with the so-called tea shops around here, most of which are indistinguishable from pot-pourri shops. I cannot stand flowery, perfume-smelling and tasting tea, but Franklin Tea (although it does have some of these) has mostly sensible, strong, delicious, tea-tasting tea. I'm currently drinking a chocolate orange rooibas and I bought a couple of green teas, just because I'm trying to have an open mind. Red tea, or rooibas, has as many antioxidants as green tea, but I guess the health nuts haven't caught on yet, or they don't want you to drink it because it tastes too nice.

As for weight, you might ask? Well, I don't have a scale, or at least I can't find the one I did have, so I don't know what my exact starting weight was, but already, the jeans are much looser, and the bras too. I think my boobs are shrinking - that's really the last thing I need to shrink, but I'll take it any way it comes. It's six-thirty, I'm tired and about ready to go to bed. Isn't that a strange thing?
