This morning I tried getting up an hour earlier and even though I stayed up a little later than I meant to, it worked out pretty well - except for the part where it turns out Costco doesn't open until 10am. Fortunately, the produce store is right across the street from Costco, so I went there and got some over-ripe pears, discounted blood oranges, the 3 lbs for a dollar oranges, some 99 cent a pound organic apples and then I splurged paying $3.40 for a pineapple and $2.99 for a big fennel bulb because I just really wanted them. I think they weighed my oranges wrong because they only came to $.07.
I'm realizing it's a lot of work procuring so much fresh produce every day, especially since I don't have a car. I mean, I'm very motivated to do it right now, but will I stay motivated for 92 days? Hopefully I will, since it's pretty good exercise.
Speaking of exercise, this morning I tried rebounding for about five minutes before my dry brushing and shower. I felt really energized by it, but I do wonder if working up a sweat before dry brushing is the right thing to do - I mean, it's not as dry. Well, not like I was soooo sweaty or something. It did warm me up a lot - I haven't been doing the hot-cold-hot-cold water shower thing because it sounds too dreadful so early in the morning, but maybe with rebounding it could be okay.
I also did power yoga - finally -and I made it through my dvd very well. Often when I do this dvd, I quit at minute 19 (out of an hour.) I felt very flexible and I was sweaty but felt good. The yoga seemed to get my digestive tract gurgling, so I thought if I could do yoga first thing in the morning while I'm drinking my quart of msm-lemon water it might be a good idea...I'd like to give it a try.
I went to bed pretty hungry. I meant to have one more juice than I did, but it was about time for a juice when I thought maybe I'd do yoga first, then I thought I should call my boyfriend before that (because that time of day he's often in his office but everyone else has gone home and he has a little time to talk) so I called him but he was on the way to see a customer plus we got cut off. Twice. So that took a little time to NOT talk, then I did the yoga, then I called him back and was on skype for half an hour. I guess probably two hours were used up with those two things, and I had a juice after that but then there wasn't really time for another one. I think I really need to work at getting my juices in - it's not that fun to be hungry, and of course it makes me think about all the foods I'm not eating.
Oh, here's something weird and exciting - just recently I noticed when I smile I have these new lines between the sides of my mouth and my cheeks, but today I smiled at myself in the mirror and they weren't there!
Today I had:
grapefruit-fennel-apple (needed more fennel & apple, less grapefruit)
lettuce-celery-orange-spinach X2
pinapple-garlic (my fave, might be okay with some spinach in it)
Weight: 206
