Day 9: 9lbs in 9 days!

Well, without focusing too much on the wait loss "release", I'm doing pretty well, hey? This is clearly suiting me on at least one level!

Dinner didn't suit me too well, though. As I was finishing my salad, I began to feel a little bit queasy and stomach-rumbly. I decided to have a cup of green tea (not strictly allowed, but this was medicinal), and that seemed to settle things down nicely. Which makes me think: perhaps I had too much fat today? I had an avocado at lunch, some olives before dinner and another half an avo or so at dinner. While that would have been nothing in the normal course of things prior to this, I think maybe that it was just too much for me in this "condition".

Another problem today was that the energy I was feeling on Sunday night (and the experience I had on Monday morning of waking up before my alarm) has not been repeated, and in fact this afternoon I was quite sleepy at times. It's getting late now, and I still haven't had a shower, so I'm not going to keep writing for too much longer...

Finally, though, to end on a good note: every meal today was delicious! A pear, apple, banana, celery and spinach smoothie for breakfast, a cabbage, avocado and lime juice salad for lunch and a super-salad of cos lettuce, capsicum, onion, cucumber, grated carrot, grated zucchini, avocado and lime juice were all fantastic. Honestly, I would be perfectly happy with a smoothie for breakfast and some kind of salad for lunch and dinner, I reckon.

Current weight: 78.0kg (-4.1kg)
Current body-fat percentage: 38.0% (-0.4%)
Current feeling: Okay — strong on convictions and positivity, slightly low on energy and stomachular well-being

  1. My question is this: don't you just have the runs all the time? All that blended veg would certainly do that to me. This is the primary reason I've never attempted a detox while working full-time.

  2. No, no runs, still working regularly! It can get a bit green some days, which is a bit odd at first, but it certainly doesn't smell as bad as when I eat meat! :)
