I have been limiting my carbohydrate intake for five months now, and I have seen some drastic changes in my body.
I become hungry less often, I have more energy now that when I was in high school, and I can fit into clothes that I haven't been able to fit into since high school.
I am not at the weight I want to be at yet, but I am terrifically happy with the progress I have made.
Last week, I bought prizes for my SAT kids. One of the prizes were marshmallow Peeps, a truly wonderful product made by the folks at Just Born. I loved them as a kid, and waited anxiously for Easter that I could have them again.
I snuck a bite of one from my students. I was expecting the rapturous feeling I always had as a kid.
Interestingly enough - the Peep tasted awful. Not what I remembered at all. I think it's because I haven't had sugar in such a long time. I guess I have become so accustomed to Aspartame and Saccharin that I don't like the taste of sugar. Weird.
On a non-Peeps-related note: Dim was working late tonight (and still is at the time of this post) and I was bored out of my skull. I found an online salsa lesson for $7. I bought it, and had a blast teaching myself to salsa. Now if only I had someone who would dance with me.....
