Day 59

Weight: 13 stone 3 lb

Lost: 1 lb

Total weight loss since day 1: 1 stone 12 lb

Smoothie Feast: Day 5 of 60

I've lost 5 lb in 5 days, which is great going but I have been paying for it with headaches. Again today I woke up with a headache so this would have been 3 days in a row. I decided that I would have my morning smoothie and then for lunch I had some cooked rice. After I'd eaten the rice, guess what? The headache left!

Mid afternoon I had a large glass of orange juice and for dinner I made myself a big salad with cous cous mixed in. My head feels so much better now, as I was detoxing far too quickly and I had to slow the process down.

I'll be back on just smoothies tomorrow, omitting cooked food again...let's see what happens.

I'm ecstatic about the weight loss but I also have to be sensible and kind to my body (or my head at least!)

So, Smoothie of the Day:

Handful of spinach, 6 medium carrots, put through the juicer, 2 apples, 2 bananas, 1 inch fresh ginger

Rating: 3 out of 5

Fresh Ginger Root
This was a real zinger of a smoothie and you could definitely taste the ginger in it, because unfortunately I put far too much ginger in, more like 4 inches! So an inch would be plenty, which I will do next time to see if it improves the taste.

Couldn't go off to the gym today because it was día de Andalucía (Andalucia day) so the gym was closed...but, it will be open tomorrow and as long as I'm feeling as good as I feel now, I will take my booty down there!

Now we've come to the last day in February, my total weight loss is: 8 lb, and works out at a healthy  2 lb a week...which is the norm.

The main thing is I'm heading in the right direction. This week has taught me that I need to be sensible with this smoothie feast, definitely listen to my body and adjust when and where it's needed. 

Felt a bit weird to eat solid food again so I'm looking forward to getting back on my all-day smoothies, which I'm really enjoying them much more than solid food at the moment, funnily enough - and that's weird in itself!

Hasta pronto
