Day 6

Today when I weighed myself I weighed 248, so I gained .8lbs.  This doesn't phase me. I knew my body was going to go into preservation mode. Tomorrow morning will be a loss again. I'm sure.

I went home for lunch again yesterday.  The pain in my ribs was so excruciating that walking to my truck hurt, but driving my truck brought a whole new meaning to the word pain.  Once I got home, which is only 3 blocks from where I work, I was sweating profusely from the pain.  I muscled my way through it and went inside to make my lunch.

Lunch juice consisted of:
2 small green apples
3 large carrots
1 large handful of spinach leaves
2 meduim heirloom tomatoes

I know that yesterday I said I was going to have a cabbage mix, but to be honest the cabbage was in the back of the fridge on the bottom shelf and my ribs hurt too bad to dig them out.  I basically made a concoction of everything that was within easy reach.  It turned out to be a good juice though.

For dinner I went through a test of will power. One of my buddies took his wife for a weekend vacation to the bay, so my woman and I agreed to watch his daughters.  The girls wanted pizza for dinner, so we went out to Mountain Mikes Pizza, which happens to be my favorite pizza joint in the whole world.  I had a salad instead of pizza even though the aroma in the place was killing me.  I have discovered that I am now enjoying pepperoncinis.

By the end of the night the pain in my rib cage had mellowed a little and I went to bed exhausted.

DAY 6

This morning I woke up and the pain in my ribs was barely there. I was so happy about the pain subsiding that discovering that I gained .8lbs didn't bother me at all. Technically (and forgive me for being crude) I have been constipated since yesterday, so today's weight has a bit of baggage to it.

This morning I made 3 servings of juice for me, my girl, and her son. This huge concoction consisted of:
6 green apples
2 oranges
12 carrots
3 large handfuls of spinach leaves

I'm writing today's blog from the bleachers of our local youth football games. I am a fixture at these games every Saturday and I will be here for six hours yet I am determined to stick to this healthy diet. We all know that snack bar food is the very antithesis of healthy, so I brought a 3 Nature Valley Granola bars with me. I will have one every two hours to keep my metabolism running full speed. I will figure out what to do after the game. I guess you will find out on tomorrows blog.

Before I close day 6 I should mention that today I woke up with tons of energy and the headache that has been plaguing me all week has finally left for good (I don't know why, but I can tell).
