The hardest time was this morning after no coffee (green tea sweetened with stevia instead), and a bowl of oatmeal sans brown sugar. So sad. It took me FOREVER to choke it down- and that was with the bananas, raisins, walnuts, sunflower seeds AND stevia. How long before I can enjoy my oatmeal without the brown sugar? After breakfast I went back to bed partially cause I'm still feeling coughey/sniffely/sickly, but also because I was missing my usual coffee-sugar wake-me-up routine, and just didn't want to be awake. Can you blame me?
So I slept until noon.
I finally woke up just so I could eat again, fixed a boring salad/soup lunch, ran a few errands, whined about not being able to run for almost TWO WEEKS (don't want to talk about it), and fixed a pretty decent dinner. Omigod, fresh asparagus is totally the bomb!
If you're curious, below is everything I ate today (next thing you know, I'll be posting my b.m. events) and it's probably the healthiest I've ever eaten in a day. Ever. The tablespoon of hummus by the way was for my low-fat homemade dressing (hummus, balsalmic vinegar, black and cayenne pepper), the recipe adapted from this group of hotties.
Now, I'm curious to see if I can get enough energy eating this way when I start running again.*Sniff*

umm...sis? you're posting your diet on the blog. hmm. seems like you got nothin' but time. i'm jealous.
you're like...consistent and stuff. don't kill yourself with this "i must suffer horribly to stay in shape" kind of thing. take it easy. enjoy it. but i'm really proud of you. and about your Sheryl Crow thing...Carl Rove is a god damn snake. You can be rest assured he is a miserable human being. i assume he has no children. they would be scared.
Yup, I have had lots of time on my hands recently (seems I'm the only one in the fambly who does).
And I'm really not suffering, just a bit of a transition, which is never a bad thing...
Ooo! I want pictures! Email me one!
Yeah, it's really hard for me to just stick a toe in, I've gotta dive in completely or else I lose my nerve. Quitting smoking has made this a whole lot easier, cause now I think, if I can quit smoking, surely I can give up sugar.
I gotta call you soon and see bout you and dat precious babeh of yours...
