It's been a rough couple of weeks. Work has been slow and I have ben home more so food is on my mind more. It has been tough to not think about it. I did buy a few items that made me crazy so instead of resisting or throwing them out I ate the rest of the package. They aren't bad things such as the whole grain bread or the Amy's organic burgers made with brown rice and veggies. I haven't bought any commercial hummus or any peanuts to make PB. For the most part, I nver eat anything that can hurt me so when my weight jumped up to 123.4 I started to panic. Now before you think I'm nuts it's not the actual number that I was concerned about. It was the fact that I was between 114 & 117 and then all of the sudden I was 123??? That's up at least 6 pounds!!! It's the trend that kind of freaked me out. There wasn't a whole lot I could change so I just tweaked things a little. I cut back on th number of fruits in my smoothie. I was having 6. I dropped it down to 4 and cut out the slice of whole grain bread with the onion slice. It had to be one or the other and smoothie won. I also broke out the carrots, beets, cucumber/celery and made myself a big glass of veggie juice. I drank this with my morning smoothie. I was going to go on a juice fast but I talked myself out of that because that is dieter'[s mentality and I would be doing it to lose weight, which has never been my primary focus since joining PEERtrainer. My focus has to first & foremost on my health. I felt just as awesome as always so thought that the juice would make a nice addition to breakfast. I did this for 3 days and every morning I jumped on the scale to see what the results were. I lost a pound. Then, this morning I was pleasantly surprised & delighted to see 118. Whew! I thin I am going to continue with the juicing. I really like what it's doing. It really cleaned me out similar to when I would get the digestive troubled last year but in a good way. I am once again amazed at the human body.
I have had more than my share of time off lately. I was off on Wed & Thurs, worked Friday and am off the whole weekend! Woo hoo! I haven't made any soap in a few weeks because I have been catching up with my email & doing some research into making liquid soap. I am finally ready to make some. I just have a little bit of food shopping to do first then I am ready to dig in and do it. I need some PH strips. Hmmm....I
