It’s the end…of the first day.
It actually went pretty fast and a lot easier than I thought. It was most embarrassing at work, though, when my stomach kept growling–making it uncomfortable to stand up/assemble boards.
(Just to add as minor background information: I’m hypoglycemic. I take meds every morning just in case I don’t get enough sugar/eats throughout the day.)
This morning I doubled up on my meds thinking that it would curb the hunger. It kind of did, but mostly I just got super dizzy really fast. I’m already starting to get really sick of the drink.
First of all, I never make it the same way ever. It’s that cayenne pepper part. I either add too much or not enough. Today, I added too much and the drink burned my throat on the way down. It was kind of nice as a distraction from my grumbling stomach, actually.
I got really hungry around 11:30 a.m., which is when we have our lunch breaks. I sat through it though, and so did my mom. It was nice to have her there.
After work I had to go to my internship where everyone had a panini for dinner except me. To ignore the temptations I actually “ate” alone.
When I got home I walked up the stairs to find my mom at the dinner table eating fried tofu and rice. She looked over at me apologetically and laughed.
“Uh…” She just shooed me away with her hand as she stuffed another piece of fried tofu in her mouth. Jeaaaalous.
I had to lie down because my head was getting really light. While I was on the bed, I think I slipped in and out of sleep a few times. Then Jake called, which was a nice boost because it made me want to go to the gym.
I dragged my mom to the gym with me and we worked out for an hour and half. It feels really good. I don’t feel too weak yet, so I’m going to assume that’s a good sign and keep going.
I talked to my friend Matt after I got home and he told me that the Native Americans would fast for days so that they would be able to have similar experiences to the effects of peyote. I told him that if I started hallucinating anytime soon he would be the first to know.
Sadly, I’m sure all my hallucinations would be manifested as foods.
