Day 11 - Just call me the Eveready Bunny
I don't think I talk quite so much in the real world..

Ever since I started to cleanse, I have heard nothing but just how insane I am and that this can't be good for me. Then I get the lowdown on what everyone had for dinner last night, what they had for breakfast, and what they are having for lunch and dinner.
Most of which involves alot of bread, grains, and pasta. :insert eye roll here:
Anyway, this morning's SWF went exceedingly well. I added a bit more salt to make the full rounded teaspoons, I suspect I was skimping the last couple of days. My stomach has gone from this 'buddha belly' look to a nice gently rounded slope. I am quite pleased with the effect.
I have to say that I look quite good these days. I have always been 'rubenesque', but now it has become less jiggly. I still have a butt though, and thighs.
Okay, here's the plan for this cleanse. I am going to continue this cleanse for at LEAST another 10 days (unless it becomes extremely uncomfortable) and see if I can get down another 10 lbs. That would put me to 154. I can count on half the weight coming back so I should end up where I am now. It's a good place to begin again. But with the new way of eating I intend to take up, any further weight loss should be slow and steady. Which is acceptable to me too.
I went to the gym again tonight and I can't believe how good I feel. I did the elliptical trainer for 20 minutes, then 40 minutes of weight lifting. I can still do 180lb leg presses. Woo hoo!
This is something I've noticed today as well. Last night, in bed, I was restless. Every once in awhile I would wake up and there would be almost an adrenaline rush going through my body. It can be quite annoying. But I would fall asleep quickly so it wasn't too bad. And I haven't been all that tired during the day either. But I have found that my emotional reaction to things is a bit flat. It's as though I get neither excited nor upset about anything. Anything at all. In fact, it takes the News broadcasting the Pakistan Earthquake rescue operations to make me even feel anything at all. Then I start to tear up. But other than that, you could yell and scream at me and I'd probably just look at you blankly.
I do have to get more sleep though. I have fallen into the habit of forcing myself to bed at 1:30 in the morning, which leaves me with 6 hours before I have to get up to prepare my SWF. And I'm a sleeper! I have developed a habit of hitting the snooze bar for an hour. Honestly, I don't remember doing it between 7:05 and 7:40 when I finally woke up. I didn't hear the clock radio so I thought it was broken. But no, I had hit the snooze bar, again.
If I didn't have to work for a living, I suspect that my body biorhythm would put me into a phase of going to bed at 2am and getting up at 10am. That's my ideal sleep time frame. Dang, I HAVE to win that lottery!! :) I've worked it out that I can retire on 2 million dollars, and I'm only 35!
A lot of the discussion amongst people in my world, when they're not hounding me about this cleanse, is centred around survival gear and what to do in a crisis. I find it rather interesting that how you prepare is obviously directly related to where you live and your most likely disaster scenario. I live in Vancouver, BC Canada, pretty much right on the water. Our disaster scenarios are pretty much centred around Earthquakes. As such, we have all been advised to not just put together one survival package, but 3. One for the home, one for the car, and one for work. Obviously this makes alot of sense. No point in preparing for a tsunami, we have a huge island in the way, and our water ways are not conducive to dragging a tsunami this far inland. It would break well before it hits Vancouver.
No real point to me bringing this up. I was just thinking of the need to tailor our supplies for our environment. Personally I have my home kit done, I just need the work kit. I don't have a car so I'll have to make do if I'm across town on the bus until I get either to home or to work to pick up the kit.
Anyway, it's 11pm and I still have to go have tea and see if I can force myself to bed by 12:30 at the latest.
And thank you Jdg and Mia for being so supportive of my trial this time around. It has given me incentive to carry on for the long haul!
New stat! 164lb. oooh a whole half pound lost.. :)
'nite!
