DAY4: Sad in a way...

First ~ the back-story: 
We have had some kind of celebration every day this week at work for "IT Appreciation Week". For example... Ice cream social,  pizza lunch,  and today we had a team lunch which was a selection of Italian food from Olive Garden. 

So, in an effort to be good today, I decided to fix me a salad and put some chicken on it. However, I was the second-to-the-last person in line, so by the time i fixed my salad, the chicken was ALL GONE ... .... ... I got incredibly sad about that for some reason.  I was also mad about it because I saw how some people piled the chicken on their own plates and they were enjoying eating it all up!

So...  I left... and later without anyone seeing, I threw away the salad (which by the way had the Olive Garden dressing on it) and resorted to my lunch juice.  In spite of myself, I was actually forced to drink my lunch today. I should be happy about this ~ even though it was circumstantial ~ but in fact, I still feel sad ...



Which leads me to something I've been thinking about since day one:  
To successfully complete my mission with juice fasting, 
I'm going to have to disconnect from my familiar (my entire lifetime) way 
of looking at ~ and being satisfied by ~ FOOD.  

No more getting sad over the food not being available.  That's just ridiculous... considering there are people who are TRULY hungry!!!  

Breakfast:      Grapefruit juice
Lunch:            Green juice - broccoli, spinach, cucumber, green apple, & pear
Pre workout:  Green juice plus a beet

Workout:        Karate at TKS central
Atta girl:         No fattening pasta 
                        ... and they had fettuccine alfredo and some kind of yummy-looking-ravioli

Right now, it's hard to disconnect.  I'm wondering if it's even possible... ... ... I wish I could talk to that man who juiced for 60 days.  He did say he stayed in bed for the first several days.

Will Power=3 (by chance..)  Opting for the wrong choice=Catching up with me :(
