Marmageddon, Headaches and Jobs

So here we are. I have made it to the end of Day 3. So how do I feel?

Today I seem to have gained a headache that won't go away
I have felt incredibly lethargic.

But apart from those two things, I actually feel ok.

Having no job this week has allowed me to obsess a little over this programme. I want to get it right. I have been lurking quite a bit in the forums (which are awesome!) and making sure I am doing this correctly. I have had the time to settle into the programme in a settling in kind of week.


Next week things are going to change and I am a bit anxious (did I mention I am kinda anxious when I don't know what is going to happen next?). So Ifar I have had the time to make the meals properly. I have had the time to really focus on the programme. But as of the start of week 2 I have a job. Just part time, but a job none the less. My days will be extremely busy and it is going to be harder to have the motivation to cook the meals. I will, because I want to do this right but it is going to be different.

Week 2 also is the start of the cutting out sugar proper. This week we are still allowed sweetners. So I am imagining that the detox symptoms will be worse. Will it be better or worse that I am distracted by something else? I am going with better. I won't have the time to obsess, or to think about how I feel. I will just get on with it. I have to be way more organised and maybe prepare and cook whole meals in advance on the Sunday so they are all ready to go for the week.

So that is headaches and jobs talked about, but Marmageddon? Here in New Zealand, last year we ran out of Marmite. For an entire year. It was a national disaster. Marmite was sold on the black market (aka trademe.co.nz). We didn't know if we would get through but with support we did. As of March 2013 I was able to spread the wonderful black goo back on my toast again. But then yesterday, a bomb hit. Apparently on the sugar free diet, Vegemite is ok but Marmite has way more sugar and not really suitable. I don't know how I will live! Actually. Truly. I love that stuff.

Jokes aside though I survived Marmageddon. I can survive this.
