Ok. I promise this won't be TMI!


I hit that 200 pound number.
I admit that I have taken advantage of some rough times. Too much indulgence in the food and beverage department. Too much eating out. Too little exercise. Too little sleep.
Well. 200 is my mark. It's time to make changes.
So DH and I are doing something that we have done in the past. It's a pretty hard core colon cleanse by Blessed Herbs. The result has always been somewhat spiritual. A renewal in energy and desire to take care of myself. You do feel so clean afterward that you want to do what you can to keep yourself that way for as long as possible. It's good stuff!
I'm not sure how long we are going to do this. I ordered enough to do 10 days. I know we will do at least 5 days.
My scale is notoriously 7 pounds light, but I will use the actual scale numbers incase the real v. scale difference changes.
Starting weight: 197 pounds.
Editted to add: This journal is now officially where I am going to keep track of my kitchen/cooking activity. The goal is continued weight loss and health, following a diet aimed at non-inflammatory food.
I'm going to be merging several different readings into my own food system. I hope to be able to find a way to efficiently feed my family. The challenge is to keep DS happy while DH and I eat food that I know will be beyond his current palatte.
I hope this journal will help me find a system where I don't have to spend an obnoxious amount of time in the kitchen, but can still enjoy super tasty, flavorful food.
