I can't quite describe it! It was something! It felt weird, but weird in a good way! As I went to church yesterday morning, my body felt good! Throughout the day, felt good. When I went to sleep, I was tired, but not the "I have to lay down tired." It was a good tired!
This junk may be working!
Sure, I've got this thing with my shoulder that just popped up when I started eating tree bark. Sure, I am eating rice with milk and flax seed right now - and it's kind of disgusting. Sure, I spent my whole Sunday on meal preparation. But....
The whole world seems clearer, my mind is firing on all cylinders, I'm noticing things I've never noticed. As I walk, my body feels the way, I think, God intended it to feel. My workouts are better, my mind is sharper.....
OK, none of that is quite accurate, but these are the first positive signs (besides the weight loss - down twelve) of this Daniel Plan. Maybe it takes like five days to reverse the negative affects from 42 years of the Speedway Plan, but I see hope.
To be honest, I'm not sure I want hope. I kind of want to have no changes whatsoever so I can just eat normal food forever, but this Daniel Plan might have something. Who knew?

I'M TIRED!
I had a hard time getting out of my seat at an incredible junior play last night! I couldn't go five minutes without wanting to sit down while playing Xbox. I just couldn't walk Freddie last night when we got home.
I THOUGHT I WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE MORE ENERGY!
I'm guessing that a man who could drink multiple 44 ouncers for the good part of the last 3,560 days of their life will take a little while for the healthy food to take effect. But, if I eat all the junk that's in my fridge right now, spend zillions of dollars on groceries, and take hours of my life to prepare food, and do that for forty days......AND HAVE LESS ENERGY, there's going to be a knock on Daniel's door!
On the positive side, I think my brother and I shared edamame and salmon yesterday for the first time in our lives. And this Daniel Plan does give you something to talk about in almost any situation. Healthy and unhealthy people love to talk about quinoa!
And although I'm starting to look at those Coca-Colas like Marty looked at steaks in Madagascar, I might be getting used to this life style. Yesterday, I poured out a Coke. Sure, it had been sitting in my car for a week, but last Tuesday I would have drank that up.
Jim asked me yesterday, "What's been your favorite?"
TONY'S TOP FIVE AFTER FOUR DAYS:
1) Cinnamon covered almonds
2) Beef Stew
3) Tempeh Stir-fry
4) Vegetables with hummus
5) Crunchy chickpeas
OK, gotta go get my quinoa oatmeal off the stove. Can't wait!
