Today was rough. last night was miserable, I felt like I had the flu all night. Which apparently I did because Emily, Brayden, and Bella stayed home from school; Heidi was sick all day; and Kira was sick tonight. One thing I will say is that I felt much better than any of the other sickies in the house. I had good energy today, was a little achy but nothing horrible, and I did not get the vomits or diarrhea like everyone else.
I added a beet to my Mean green today for Heidi Khoroujnikova who is struggling with her juice fast today because of the beets her husband Mike likes in them (It's a borscht thing).
Juice was great today, I really am doing much better than the other sickies. I think this whole foods vegetarian thing has something to it. I don't know how long I might last but I am liking it right now.
Tonight's run was a treadmill run with Matt. Can I just say that I absolutely hate running on the treadmill. It should have been called trodmill or extremeboredomemill. I can't watch TV because I am not that coordinated (no I did not fall off, but almost). All I do is watch the clock count VERRRRRRRRRRRRRY SLOOOOOOOOOOOWLY. That being said, I thought tonight would be kind of a slow plodding run anyway because I am still a little achy and have been sick all day.
3 min in I felt great so I decided to do intervals of 8 min mile pace and it was awesome, ended up with 5K including the warm up and cool down. I did have just a tiny twinge on the outside of my left heel, which probably means I am supinating a little bit too much, I am going to go with no insole in that shoe for a few runs and see how that helps. My left hip is 7mm below my right hip and it is always the longest leg at the chiropractor so I need to see if I can compensate for that a bit, and the insole I have been using has a tiny bit of arch support which also causes supination.
So far loving the diet, but I am only 4 days in, I haven't had that dreaded headache day yet. and I am not really feeling hungry, I think I am pretty well through the water weight so things now should be real progress.
Thanks for the beet homage! I'm very excited for you. Looks like your doing great. I'm down 25 lbs as of today, I'm at day 18. Mike's down around 10 lbs, but he has A LOT less to lose than me so I'm not surprised his is slower. He's thrilled with his results. His bg levels are so much better, maybe he can get off his diabetes meds by the times we are done. Keep up the good work! You're doing a great thing for you and your family.
