Day 51

Weight: 13 stone 9 lb

Added: 3 lb

Total weight loss since day 1: 1 stone 6 lb

Today I got back on track as I've been really slack with myself recently...but I'm determined to put things right. At the start of the month I had the target of losing another stone but that's not going to happen now...so, come the 1st March I will be doing a 60 day smoothie feast and I will stick to it, 100%...and I don't care who's birthday it is or even Easter, with all it's chocolate eggs, isn't going to divert me from my goal.

My stomach's been feeling rotten today, so I've been good to myself and fasted...with just a glass of orange juice, a cup of herbal tea and 2 litres of water.

Had a terrible night's sleep as I was really, really hot and very uncomfortable. I used to get like this a lot after eating a heavy meal at night, but since being raw, those symptoms have gone away and my body temperature has been normal, I've been very comfortable at night and sleeping well. So, yet again another reminder to be kind to myself and eat what is good for me and not what tastes really good at the time because in the long run it just causes Merry Hell with my system. 

I think I'm just going to drink green smoothies tomorrow as I'm taking the parents and partner out for lunch on Saturday as an extended birthday treat for my mum, but I will be taking it easy!

Got myself back in the gym today and it was hard work and I didn't have the energy that I normally have...so let's see how the gym goes tomorrow after my fast today.

Ordered a couple of books today from Amazon which were recommended in my Raw Food magazine. One was called Eat Smart, Eat Raw by Kate Magic (New Edition) and the other was Superfood Smoothies by Julie Morris, so I look forward to receiving them and having a good read...and yes I must get myself a Kindle one day - my mum got one for her birthday and she loves it!


My friend came round with her dog, Samba, today (who we will be fostering) and we all went out for a walk as it was a lovely warm sunny day. I think my friend's dog will settle in just fine...though my dog Tilly insists on barking her head off at her, but she should calm down after a couple of days once Samba has moved in!

Will be interesting to see how my weight goes tomorrow...no doubt I would've lost a couple of pounds.

Hasta pronto
