Day 24- and don't worry, once I get to day to day 28 (the entire cleanse cycle) I will start counting by the week so as not to drive myself insane mostly, because when you start on march 2- it's totally easy to count the days but once we switch months, hell no!
So, I woke up this morning got on the scale and BA BAM! 3 more pounds over night! All in all I am down 17 pounds, which means I think I was down 14 when I said 13, but in any case, I am 3 pounds away from where I was last fall before my world caved in between Evan's little issue which will not be mentioned and the husband going on disability only to sit on the couch all day long every day. Yeah, I am so close to pre disaster weight. Phew! Not that I was bikini ready (hahahahah) before this latest crisis hit, but it was where I was. Once I get the next three pounds off I am setting my sights another 20 pound goal- the weight I was when I moved to connecticrap. hahahaha. I kind of totally hate it here. The only way I am not fleeing this state the second Josh goes to college is if he ends up going to UConn and I want to pay instate tuition or something. Even then, I will most likely leave new town. It's not my cup of tea. (politely)
Did you ever notice how when the sun shines into the sun roof in the car you can see every frightening thing you never noticed in your flattering softly lit bathroom mirror? I used to be able to say I was getting gray underneath but you couldn't see it unless my hair was tied back. That is no longer true and the abundant gray hairs which are now growing around my part line right on top of my head are all named Evan and they are all about 6 months long. Seriously! I lifted and looked! Damn you stress. I wonder if I can meditate them away. Can I de-stress my hair follicles?
It's Good Friday, which means absolutely nothing to us, but also the sabbath, which means I can't order the inkjet rice paper I want to order from B&H for another 24 hours, but after that, it's just another day in anti-paradise.
Actually, I did have nice walk in the woods with sweet pea and my camera today. I wanted to get closer to some trees which were dangerously close to a swampy area and I wasn't sure exactly where the quicksand like mud began since it is all hidden under a nice layer of leaves. Sweet pea helped out by taking the lead and when I saw her up to her dog elbows in sludge I knew that I could not get as close to my subject as I was hoping. I was afraid my favorite hiking boots would get sucked off of my feet if I stepped onto the squishiest parts. That was a bummer, cause the trees I wanted to get close to were interesting but there were other photos which made me happy. At least, I think they'll make me happy. They are still in the camera and will be in there until at least tomorrow because I'm tired.
Speaking of tired.... That is my one big complaint about this cleanse, and I am wondering if there is anything I can do about it that is not eating more. The doc asked me if there was anything I really wanted to re-introduce and I told her that what I missed the most is (real energizing black or green) tea and (nectar of the gods) coffee and she said she didn't see why I couldn't start drinking both of those again, but .... I'm doing so well without them (other than being tired all of the time) that I don't want to rock the boat. I'll save that moment for a late night road trip when I really need the boost.
