just a little unwell

I have a couple things to report, first what you've all been waiting for ... ha... the results from my first week of hellth week, also some comments about why I think my Dog, Hank, may be mentally ill
Results
The first week was fairly easy, the only hard part was that I am FULL all the time... because I feel like I'm eating ALL THE TIME! but this is normal, before being on this plan I wouldn't eat until 1 or 2 in the afternoon so my body is basically in complete shock.. so thats been rough but I don't really have had any cravings for anything, besides cigarettes but I am doing better on that and hey progress is better than no progress right? And they are banning clove cigarettes in the state of NY as of the 26th or 28th or something, so at that point it will be much easier to quit... because i will be forced. ANYWAY.. I lost 7 pounds which is awesome!! im pumped. Its funny though it seems like now I am having cravings for things that I normally wouldn't eat a lot of. for example at work I serve icecream, and before I have never eaten any of it even though I can have it for free... and now I look at it and wish I could have it but it doesn't make sense because if it wasn't for the fact that I couldn't have it, I probably wouldn't want it anyway.
On day 3 I threw up the oatmeal so I told Kelly (trainer and nutritionalist), not because I wanted to quit oatmeal because I want to give everything a huge effort because I know that I don't like many foods, However, she told me to switch to Total for a few weeks ... Total with strawberries... if I knew she would change it to that I would have threw up the oatmeal sooner =) ... has anyone ever noticed that carrots take like ten years to eat? seriously , I try to just chew quick and swallow.. impossible , it takes me like 40 minutes to eat a cup of them. But I am feeling good and optimistic about week 2
HANK
Hank, my dog, is a English Mastiff (sp?). He is a good dog for the most part. All he does is lay down and walk around, beg for food, and drool. There are luxuries like, he doesn't need a leash because he is too lazy to go anywhere, you don't have to walk him far... two houses down and he has got his exersize for the day and will probably sleep for the remainder of the day, He doesn't jump, lick your face, run away, bark... but thats just the thing he doesn't do anything, and when he does do something its only when you have food... He begs like no dog I have seen before and when he shakes his head drool FLIES and when it does if you are in the line a fire be prepared for a serious drool shower, one of the chores around the house is once a week going around the house and cleaning the drool off the walls... I probably make it sound worse than it is but ... I do love him.
anyway why do I think he is mentally disturbed, well I was sitting with a friend on the front porch and he is around the house somewhere and all the sudden I hear a loud slurping noise.. and I yealled for hank, went to the side yard and found him sitting in the creek, drinking the water as it flowed down, and believe me we feed him well everyday and are changing his water constantly ... its not that he is dying of thirst ever..
a couple days later my dad is vaccuming the pool and all the sudden heard the neighbors dog constant barking... so he calls hank and hank didn't come so he went to their back yard and found hank laying down on their back porch... ok this dog is like a horse, what if you woke up one morning and saw a horse on your back porch ... he never does these things..
not to mention all week he has been begging for my carrots, I told him he really didn't want any but he didn't budge sitting in front of me starring at me until they were gone ... did I mention how long carrots take to eat?
He's not crazy, just a little unwell..
