Jan 19th & 20th down a pound both days. (net loss is now 9#). I will combine these two days since they were a blur. All I got to eat was WATERMELON! Two full days of WATERMELON! My culinary creativity was in high gear. I pureed some and made a slushy; I cut up some into cubes and ate chilled; I froze some and ate like a sorbee; I sliced some into traditional picnic wedges and pretended it was summer; I drank the juice; I even heated some into a cup of tea.
On Sunday I ate every ounce of 3 small watermelons + some Chia tea. I never would've believed I could be FULL be eating nothing but the pink watery fruit but I was.
Today however, I wasn't even all that hungry so I let the kids have the leftovers. I probably only ate one and a half melons and stayed busy painting the bathroom - maybe the fumes acted as an appetite suppressant?
Sunday I woke up at 5:00 without an alarm, spent time cleaning out my iPod while I waited for daylight, went for my usual jog and was barely winded when I got back.
Today I was at Fred Meyer by 7:30am, bought paint and painted the entire bathroom by 2:00pm, including cupboards and drawers. My back's a bit tight but otherwise, I'm still feeling great!
But I AM looking forward to some real food tomorrow :-)
Jan 18th - up a pound. My body clock has continually woken me up earlier and earlier and I am full of energy! Today I played a bit of soccer AND softball and felt great! I do miss sleeping in on the weekends but I guess that's a small price to pay for feeling so good!
