Weigh In for January 10, 2009
Posted January 10th, 2009 by Jeff J. SniderThis was a weird week in a lot of ways. I had a lot of stress on a personal level, which might have led to overeating … if I had had that choice. Tuesday morning, I started a gall bladder cleanse — not because I have any gall bladder issues, but because I’ve heard that it is good for your health and your energy/stamina levels. So from Tuesday through yesterday, I didn’t eat any solid foods, just drank a gallon of water and a gallon of organic apple juice every day. I don’t like apple juice very much to begin with, but I can say I probably won’t touch the stuff for a long time now.
But the cleanse went well. I do feel pretty good (excited to have a nice salad at Mimi’s Cafe tonight), and I am proud of myself for being able to do it. The downside of it is that I wasn’t able to work out, because there’s not a whole lot of excess energy when all your calories are coming from apple juice. So the exercise part of my master plan will begin this week.
The upside (besides the feeling better stuff)? I weighed in this morning at 351.2, which is 11.8 pounds less than last week and only two pounds more than my previous low point.
This week will be an interesting new challenge. I’ve been working from home, but I will be going into the office four days a week from now on. That will obviously change the pattern Beth and I have gotten into regarding our weight goals, but I think I am up to the challenge. I’ll keep you posted.
