The last few nights have cooled considerably, and this morning it seems like I have a respite from the days long caffeine withdrawal headache... finally sweet relief? I can't count on it, but I'm hopeful.
The body reacts when foods are removed from daily habits, and sometimes it feels like an ornery relative asked to kindly take leave after a long visit. The hissy fits ensue, but eventually you're left with the quiet thrum of the house - all to yourself again. In celebration of the calm, I'm enjoying the songs of Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, and Billie Holiday. Right now it's Nina singing one of my favorites:
"In the dark
It's just you and I
Not a sound
There's not one sigh
Just the beat of my poor heart
In the dark..."
This has gotta be one of the sexiest songs ever sung... but that's a related tangent. I think one of the best possible outcomes of this diet will be renewed energy, and feeling well, and those things naturally spur and support confidence. Confidence is very sexy. And when you pair that with way fewer headaches... Mmmm hmmm.
"In the dark
Now we will find
What the rest
Have left behind
Just let them dance
We're gonna find romance
Lord, in the dark"
