Freelee's Challenge: Day 33

Freelee's challenge: 1 year of doing the whole shebang--diet, exercise, water, sleep, etc. Stop worrying about weight gain and the momentary ups and downs of detox. Just do it!

Exercise

30 min. Just Dance 3

Food

Meal 1: 64 oz. oj

Meal 2: 60 Deglet Noor dates, blended w/ water into syrup, 3 large stalks celery

Meal 3: 80 oz. oj, 6 C. romaine lettuce, 2 Roma tomatoes, 1/2 avocado

3425 cal. 90/5/5 C/F/P, 241 mg. sodium (no table salt)

Water

16 cups/ 128 oz.

Sleep

Lights out at 10:30, but then had to immediately get up with a child wetting the bed and that took 20 minutes to straighten out, so probably asleep by 11 p.m.-7:00. I was hungry when I went to bed and I didn't sleep very well.

Today's Pleasures

Love playing Just Dance 3 with my kids

Got a fantastic yearly evaluation from my boss (my work performance has been better and better as my health habits improve)

Detox

White coating on my tongue upon awakening

Swollen under-eye circles (extra puffy from salt yesterday)

A little smelly gas here and there, really bad right before bed

Some minor constipation

Minor redness and a lot of bumpiness on forehead, nose and chin

Fatigue mid-afternoon

Stress level

Moderate (now I have a car problem and my husband is FREAKING out)

Daily Thoughts

Keeping this blog is really helping me keep my focus and trust in the process despite all that's going on in my life. I really love the comments and encouragement and love you all show me. Thank you so much!

Comment by Greenmama on April 7, 2012 at 10:15am: Thanks you guys! @ Ben... well, I don't really like bananas by themselves, so I usually combine them with another fruit and enjoy them that way. I also only like organic ones (maybe it's in my head since I learned about how the people who work on the conventional farms are sickened by the fungicides and pesticides?) and I have trouble getting organic in the quantity I want sometimes. I have tried talking with produce managers and they claim they order more and just can't get them. I have been waiting for some to ripen for the past couple days, which is why they haven't appeared on the menu.
