I was at the Lab this morning to have blood drawn (to measure post-kidney transplant levels) and I decided to step on the scale for the first time since I began 5 days ago...13 pounds (the amount of a heavy bowling ball) is completely GONE! What a feeling!
I am wearing a T-Shirt today that just 6 little days ago I could not wear because my GUT would hang out the bottom (YUCK, right?). Today it fits GREAT and it has put me in a great mood ;)
Yesterday I was in a bind as I went with some business partners to St. Cloud to speak at a meeting...no juicer, no ingredients, etc. A friend of mine brought in organic cucumbers that he and his wife grow on their hobby farm. Now, I usually do NOT like the taste of cucumbers...I always took them off my salads. To eat a whole, raw, cucumber was quite a daunting thought to me BUT I did need something for "dinner".
Did I like the cucumber? Although it wasn't as bad as I thought the answer is still no. But do you know what I don't like even more? BEING FAT! NOT FITTING INTO MY CLOTHES! BEING TIRED! So the cucumber was cheerfully eaten and my body rejoiced :) I am also very grateful to my friend who offered the cucumbers because not eating at all would have been even worse and temptation would have mounted.
