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.

Oh, the gall! I’m glad you had good numbers from cleansing your gall bladder and are feeling better as a result.

I didn’t even know that gall bladders got dirty. Congrats on the 351.

That is awesome.
I couldn’t do the cleanse like that. I absolutely hate apple juice, I have an averse reaction to it. Even the smell of it makes me nauseous. Kudos to you for doing it even though you don’t like it either.

I LOVE apple juice. Maybe I should clean my gall too…. Um, super congrats on 351. Watching biggest loser??? I love it. I love trainer Bob. Is he gay? maybe I will google that. I like Jillian too, but she sometimes looks like a man. What else can I say? Um. Oh, I went to this doctor who might be able to tell me wy I am so tired all the time—she took my blood and she says she expects that I have adrenal something rather. Who knows. Anyway, as soon as I get some more energy, I’ll jump on the exersize wagon. Good luck to you and I. We’ll be running marathons in no time…Yeah, I’d shoot myself before THAT happened. Ok, have a good Sunday.
