Part of the energy that carried me through the day was all of this excitement and buzz surrounding American Idiot, which is in previews now at Berkeley Rep. I feel myself getting swept up in the excitement, even though I'm not working directly on the show. There's just something in the air around the Theatre. Plus, this is exactly the type of project that interests me - a new musical that relies on both the commercial and non-profit theatre worlds to bring it together. This is the first real show that Berkeley Rep has put up since I've been working there (in addition to Wishful Drinking's mini pre-Broadway run), and I'm already thinking ahead to what it'll be like once this phenomenon is gone, since everyone says this is all out of the ordinary.
I really wasn't that hungry during the day. Maybe it has something to do with eating breakfast before work, instead of at my desk.
Breakfast: Corn flakes with unsweetened almond milk and a small banana.
Lunch: Corn & tomato salad from Whole Foods and an apple.
Snack: A handful of trail mix (nuts, seeds, and raisins).
Dinner: Leftover sushi and edamame, and some chunks of melon. Alright, fine, I also had 3 chocolate covered almonds. Again, I was just helping by finishing them off :)
I ate lunch away from the desk, which is another change that I'm making with this cleanse - to be more conscious about what I eat and appreciate the food. Plus, the courtyard was lovely this afternoon, and it was nice to get 15 minutes of fresh air and sunshine. No matter how busy I am, I need to remember that I can always spare a few minutes outside and away from the computer.
Even though I wasn't tired during the day, I certainly was when I got home around 7pm. But I'm realizing that's ok. It's alright to be tired at points during the day without filling the tiredness up with caffeine and/or sugar. I guess I'm already learning something about myself...
