It was kind of anti-climactic, though. I was expecting something more substantial and less like deer droppings. Maybe it's a product of a vegetarian diet. Or maybe there's still something wrong with me.

On a lighter note, I've entered into week 2, and I think my body's almost adjusted to relying on something other than caffeine and sugar to get through the day. The first 5 or 10 minutes in the morning are actually worse than they normally are; regardless of how much sleep I get, my eyes are bloodshot and feel as if they really did get shot by something, and I function at about 20% of my usual speed. But after that, I feel pretty good throughout the day, and don't get that mid-afternoon crash that cries out for a latte. The past few nights I've maintained mental clarity right up until bedtime, and thankfully have had no problem at all falling asleep. And I've noticed that I sleep well, i.e. I don't toss and turn and wake up multiple times, though as I said, I don't necessarily feel well-rested in the morning.
