The Scale is a Tool NOT An Enemy
So, last we spoke I was purchasing a scale. An item I specifically have not had in my home ever! I had one growing up, and since I was "waistline challenged" it was NOT my friend. I am not sure if this purchase will stay in the house after the purification, but for now it will help us track our progress. (Note: Our goal is health, any weight-loss is strictly "organic icing on the organic cake")
The Magic number for today is 172.4 - Yes ladies, I just admitted out loud my weight.
By the way, I also bought a tape measure so let's be brutally honest:
Waist: 32 1/2"
Hips: 41"
Thigh: 24 1/4"
Heating Temperatures are IMPORTANT to Preserving Nutrients
We were more careful today to use low temperatures when sauteing or baking food. It takes longer BUT preserves the quality of the food.
We are trying to buy mostly organic food, but with cost and limited availability we need to get as much out of what we use.
SPAGHETTI SQUASH IS GREAT!
Another tool I am using are daily emails. This is a fairly new tool. It sends you updates of how you may be feeling, what to expect, tools, tips and recipes.
I have only been cooking organically for a few months now and need assistance in creating yummy food in order to keep my husband from bailing! I had never seen this vegetable and was pleasantly surprised at the unique texture and ability of this vegetable to take on the flavor of the spices. We tried it with savory flavors (Garlic, Oregano, Parsley and sweet (cinnamon & nutmeg), YUM!
Cramming Water is BAD
I was not as diligent with my water today. I started noticing dry mouth and lips and in an effort to "make up" for not drinking enough I downed (2) 10oz bottles after my evening shake...UGH!!!
You can not "make up" for missed water, just know better tomorrow! My gut was full, a feeling I not fond of to begin with, and I wasn't sure I was going to get to keep my last shake...
The feeling reminded me of what the blender does when I am making my shakes and I don't add enough liquid...just as soon as you do all the glop on the top flops to the bottom! OK lesson learned.
PS A friend of my did this and said the hard part for her was drinking the thick shakes. I verified with a rep and it is ok to add water to make it thinner.
I Broke My Diet
I must confess that we broke our diet for communion, I think the bread pinch and grape juice drizzle is outweighed by its benefits.
Below is the Day 3 Intake Journal Entry for those interested.
Looking forward to Day 4!
Be Well,
Kym
