I totally ate yesterday... just knowing I wasn't ging to continue was all I needed! About noon or 1 I had a pear. Later on I had an apple with peanut butter. Interestingly I got a little phlegmy (from the peanut butter I guess). Will note that.
Then, another cup of miso broth turned into the most delicious hot and sour egg drop soup with onion, garlic and carrot. I ate it all.
I have some odd aches in my arm and shoulder joints and almost a pulsing in my muscles. A new and different feeling that I've never had before. I even took advil. have I been so terribly inactive that even getting a wheel barrow full of wood in the house or hanging up laundry hurt me? I don't think so. Don't know what's up with that. My only guess is that my body is getting rid of something, so today, I will take some bentonite clay with psyllium husk to see if I can get it to move out. And watch what I eat. But I tell ya - I am soooo looking forward to oatmeal!
...and I feel good. Not lethargic. I have no time for lethargic. Way too much to do and today is going to be gloriously productive.
As far as what amazing revelations I had through this, I'm going to reflect on that a little bit more. It was a good thing for me to do. That's for sure. What I got out of it, I don't know yet.
Today's weight - 143.5. Back to the old exercise regime. haha, there's a new one. eat right and exercise.
I'm glad you made it as long as you did and also that you are eating again. Hope the aches and pains go away. I think I invented a new diet. I go to AZ today to let my parents in on all that's happening in my life. Amazingly I ate about half what I normally do. Wonder how long that will last. Wish me luck! ;)

You and me both honey! How long will this last? In my vast past experience, about 2 days...haha. big sigh.
ReplyDeleteso good luck to both of us.
oh, one of my little portion control tricks is (aside from mindful eating) is using those little chinese bowls. You can't fit much into them. It helped me a few years back when I lost about 20 pounds.
Have fun in hopefully warmer and not windy AZ weather.
