New Diet!

For the last 5 days I have been on a new diet: no sugar, no carbs allowed. Typically I don't like those kind of diets... you know, the ones that completely eliminate and entire macromolecule from your system?! So, in exchange for going against my morals, I'm letting myself have coffee creamer (which is jam-packed with carbs AND sugar). Let's face it, I need coffee to keep me sane anyways... not to mention it's a miracle for headaches. Anywho, this diet has so far been really awesome: I have been eating nothing but vegetables and chicken pretty much! Because holy crap, carbs are in EVERYTHING. I mean, realistically I knew that, but when I really had to start checking for them, I was surprised. Another part of this diet I'm doing includes getting a FULL nights sleep. Before, I was only getting 2 to 3 hours of sleep, then going to school/work, and then coming home to take another 2 to 3 hour "nap." That's been my routine for so long I wasn't sure I'd be able to swap it! But with the help of an OTC sleep aide (mainly doxylamine succinate), it's been a breeze and for the past 4 nights, I've actually gotten 7 hours of sleep!!! So between all the food and sleep habit changes, I feel better than I have in... well, a really long time :-)
