I fell asleep last night with a piercing headache- I ate HORRIBLE (white bread, lots of cheese, & hot cheetos). So, this morning I get up on the scale and i’m up 5 pounds!!!
However, this doesn’t worry me, because, it’s water weight retention (I ate ALOT of sodium & starches yesterday).
Read the article that I posted a while back titled: Weight fluctuations throughout the day
So, back to day 68. I feel like i’m losing my focus. I started working full time this week & it has been a HUGE change for me. I haven’t been planning my meals so I haven’t been eating on target as I would like to. My workouts have been good though. Cardio almost every day (except yesterday because I bummed it!). 2 of my 4 weight training splits down, 2 more to go (Today - Back & Calves; Saturday - Shoulders, Triceps & Abs).
I’ve been wanting to get up around 5:30 am or so to get a good walk/run around my neighborhood (aprox. 3 + miles) but all this week I have slept right through my alarm clock. To change this, I will need to start going to sleep earlier. I’m improving though - from 12:00 am down to 11:00 pm bed time. My goal is to get atleast 6-7 hours of sleep in every night.
So for this weekend & next week (Week 11) I want to do a couple of things:
- 3 Day Fruit Flush Detox (will probably start this weekend - Saturday)
- Plan next week’s meals during the weekend
- Clean the apartment
- Update Budget
- Update Stats & measurements
- Start experimenting with the principles of the Fruit Diet while maintaining BFFM core nutrition principles.
Basically, for 14 days I’m going to replace all my complex carbohydrates & dairy with fruit, fibrous veggies, and non-grain carbohydrates (yams, sweet potatos, white potatos) . I’ll still be getting my carbs in, but they will not be from grains. I have a feeling that I might be allergic/senstitive to gluten, grains & possibly cheese as well (I am lactose intolerant), so I want to take these (brown rice, oatmeal, whole wheat/whole grain bread, cereals, cheese & dairy products) out of my diet for a couple of days and see how I feel. After the 14 days I will start re-introducing grains & dairy slowly.
- Go to sleep every night at 11:00 pm & wake up at 5:30 am to go for my morning walk/run.
- Most importantly, spend time with God everyday - meditating on His Word & being in constant comunication with Him.
Here are the rest of Day 68 re-caps:

One thing I noticed today is that my hands didn’t feel so swollen by the end of the day. Maybe bacause I cut out most grains??? Hmmm….
