It doesn't even look appealing in a picture. Trust me I do not feel great physically. I have started adding 1 or 2 juices to my day and the lemon water without removing any meals. My 2-year-old is also loving the juice. She pulled me by the hand and stepped onto the step stool and tried to shove apples down the shoot. So we made some apple, carrot and lemon juice for her.
I DID go shopping. I got cucumbers, kale, green onions, cabbage, carrots, celery, pineapple, melons, apples, pears, strawberries, oranges, grapes, coconut water and a large thing of plain H2O. I completely forgot the ginger. But I'm sure I'll be back to the store in a few days. I can't wait to try some "dessert" juices. I'm thinking mostly melon around bedtime. I once read that melon juice is one of the easiest things to digest. Who knows if it is true...but there you go.
Truth time. Accountability time. I'm still pretty sure no one reads this so I'm not too worried about it...but sometimes you just never know...someone will do a random google search for oatmeal scones and this blog will pop up 100 pages into the search results and they will click on it and *GASP* see these pictures.
But here we go:
210 pounds, heart rate of 116 just climbing my teeny staircase. Not running mind you, just walking. As of last night a resting heart rate of 77.
Do you see how tired I look? I'm always tired. Always. That is 99.99% of the reasoning behind this fast. I. am. exhausted. I can't take it anymore. The weight. That's about 50%. (I never said I was good at math..)
I'm going to do a quick video here soon...but I have been tired so long, I don't really know what it is to not be exhausted.
Let's do a quick recap of how my body feels from top to bottom:
- Dandruff
- Head aches
- Head is foggy
- Eyes are swollen
- Sinus pressure
- Neck is very sore
- Shoulders ache
- Breasts ache (Doctor can find no reason)
- Gut cramping (no...not near period, it just cramps)
- Back aches
- Joints in fingers ache
- Elbows hurt when doing menial tasks (laundry, etc)
- Knees ache
- Ankles ache
- Shins ache
- General fatigue
- Body Odor
- Dry, flaky skin
I tell everyone I'm in good health, but really what does that mean? My blood work is all fine. I don't have high blood pressure or diabetes. I don't have high cholesterol or thyroid issues. So that somehow equals good health. But does it? As I'm sitting here with a pounding headache and aches in the majority of my body I wonder.
Emotionally I am super unmotivated. I have no motivation to do anything! I can't clean or organize or even play with my daughter. My favorite part of moving is setting everything up and organizing and I just have no desire or motivation to do anything. I'm walking around in a fog. My floors are dirty, my sink is overflowing...My coffee consumption has gone up as I'm trying to power through and get things done anyway. The last few days I've cut back to one cup a day...but I've been waking up with a headache.
