OK my scale is a nut. There is no way in this universe or the next that 2 frakking pounds got "lost" in the last 24 hours. I got on this scale this morning and it read 280.4. I stepped off. I stepped back on. 280.4. Off and on. Four times. I am not changing my ticker to reflect it. I don't believe it. Tomorrow morning for my official weigh in time I will update the ticker to whatever it says, but right now, I am just too skeptical.
I have had a full day already and it is only 10:30am. I woke up at 7 and had to pee like a racehorse, (as it were. This is what happens when you drink loads and loads of water) but when I lay back down I couldn't get back to sleep. I got up, got dressed, took the dogs and myself for a brisk 20 minute walk. Came back and cleaned the whole kitchen, picked up the living room, did a load of laundry. Then I went to the farmers market, and the grocery to pick up more "out of season" produce (I need my weekend banana's darn it!). Put every thing away - and realized I have enough produce to open my own stand. Plans are in the works for Tabuleh, and a slaw, and raosted veggies for sandwiches, and a variety of veggie chips! - and then I made my awesome morning oatmeal.
Today I am having: banana, kiwi, and strawberry topped with coconut butter along with a steaming mug of Coconut Chai black tea, which I also just picked up. SO GOOD. I am in heaven right now. Observe:
I am trying to quit ingesting artificial sweeteners, I don't think I can go cold turkey, but I am making steps towards it. I used Stevia in my oatmeal and tea. I just don't know about giving up my diet sodas yet. They are like desert to me now. On the other hand, my palette is so clean at this point, that an apple last night was on the verge of being too sweet for me. How weird is that? 4 months ago I could eat half a Tres Leches cake (and then lick up extra caramel...) no problem. Now an apple is too sweet? I am loving the change, it is just really hard to wrap my head around.
Today I am going to buy a Brita water filter thingy that fits over the kitchen faucet. This way, there is always filtered water downstairs, and I can bring the pitcher we already have upstairs so I can just fill it in the bathroom and not have to run downstairs 10 times a day to refill my bottle. I think this will help 1) with The Great Water Experiment and 2) with getting me off the soda. If I have readily available water, I'll drink it and not wish I had something else.
I hope.
