Today is the last day of the first week of our little food adventure. We have been maintaining the weight loss from the fast while eating solid food for the last 5 days. Pam remains -5 and me at -6. Other than spending time looking for what else is raw on the Internet, we have been doing great through this week.
Plateauing sucks and the regular yapping about how that's good because it's your body resetting itself at the new weight doesn't make me feel better. I'd like to plateau at my goal weight yesterday. Patience, Paully, Patience.
Our refrigerator is the greenest place in the Northwest. Every time I open it I am blown away. We have gone through more carrots since we started this than we would have in 2 or 3 months normally and 5 times as much celery. There is a good 3 dozen apples on the bar and I have no fear that some will spoil. I no longer think beets are for other people to eat. They are fantastic in juices. Other veggies that you wouldn't normally think of when you think juice include fennel and collard greens. Some of you are saying "Collard greens in juice? Yuck!" but I swear in the right mix they are great.
BP numbers for the end of the week are Pam 114/68 and me 115/69. Heart rates are Pam 61 and me 59.
The last couple of days we have had big salads for dinner so nothing in the way of great recipes to share - they are coming. You can only eat so much salad.
