Freelee's Challenge: Day 98

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

45 min. walking with a few very short running intervals, 3.5 miles, hills

1 hr. gardening

Food

Meal 1: 70 oz. o.j.

Meal 2: 14 C. watermelon

Meal 3: 4 med. frozen bananas, 23 Barhi dates, blended in a smoothie

2 bites of steamed corn on the cob

1/3 English cucumber

Meal 4: 32 oz. o.j., 6 C. bok choy, dressing of 1/2 avocado, 2 Roma tomatoes, juice of 1 lime, blended (not that delicious)

3599 cal. 88/6/6 C/F/P, 342 mg. sodium (no table salt)

Water

15 cups/ 120 oz.

Sleep

Went to bed at 10 but laid awake for at least 1/2 an hour. Then I woke up itchy and hungry around midnight, but I did not get up and eat and eventually fell back to sleep. Up at 7:45.

Today's Pleasures

A lovely morning walk with blue skies, bird song and the sound of insects buzzing

Made a new little herb bed by my garden shed

The price of watermelon is coming down!

Connecting with my husband and feeling grateful for him

Detox

Some swelling in my hands and feet during my walk

Itchy rash over my whole body, except for my face and feet--slightly better today

White coating on my tongue

Swollen, dark under-eye circles in the morning

Minor redness and bumpiness on forehead, nose and chin

Stress level

Low

Daily Thoughts

Feeling sad and shocked about the death of a friend's husband.

So sorry about your friend's husband. Hugs!

Comment by Dovima on June 11, 2012 at 11:38am: So, you've switched over to raw dinners! Is it making a big difference in mood/energy/vitality?

Comment by Lala M. Apples on June 11, 2012 at 5:10am: Sorry for your loss Gm! I am so happy that you have been able to be raw the last few days. And congrats on fighting the urges to snack at night.
