Call it The Experiment? The Summer of Fears Faced? (insert a witty, fascinating name here)?

71 days of following an interesting plan that took literally minutes to write up.  I can't even take it seriously enough to talk about it seriously, so I am going to talk about it lightly and jokingly.  And a little sarcastically.

DAY 1 of Interesting Plan with No Name Yet
I am on a very restrictive food plan for numerous health reasons, and figured it was a good time to try a few other things I was avoiding, because hey, if I fail at all three but pull one of them off, I am still better off than when I started... and I just realized that if that last section of writing was ever examined by an English professor, they would smack me in the face with their latest zine and call me a wordy something-or-other.

Food - I drank almost all liquids (don't worry, safe ones) and ate only fruits and veggies with one small outburst where I tore through half a container of Wholly Salsa and tortilla chips, arguing to myself that if one is craving salt, that is a primal urge and must be followed as the body is crying out for.... salsa?  um... yeah I was about 80% on the mark.

Writing - So I have an open document waiting to be added to an email, the equivalent of the biggest act of bravery EVER, or honestly since this morning when I went to Zumba class in pants with really old elastic... who doesn't?

The Other One - I am not going to call this anything specific, but it is just The Other One.  The Third Goal.  The one I am not willing to talk about yet.  It went well, in case you were wondering.

Okay, off to send the email.  Day 1 is in the books.  70 more days of summer!!!!  (wait, what?)
