I started this day off a little earlier than I had originally planned. I had hoped to sleep in since I knew I was going to be working late into the night. For breakfast, I had an orange after taking my dose of Apple Cider Vinegar. I drank a bottle of spring water with breakfast and then poured a half a glass of Pepsi. I thought that today I would try to drop down to one glass a day since I had been successful with only 2 glasses yesterday.
I did 3 laps after breakfast and my husband said he noticed that over the past 2 days I am moving around easier. I noticed that my feet haven’t been swollen at all this week. I cannot remember the last time I went more than a day or two without swollen feet, ankles, and knees.
I finally weighed myself. To my surprise, I didn’t weigh 375lbs. or more. My actual weight is 355.9lbs. and though I am still entirely too heavy, I feel good about weighing less than what I thought. This weight means that meeting my objective would put me real close to the weight I would like to be again. I know that if I can get that far I know that I can continue and possibly get to my ideal weight of 150lbs. within a few years.
We decided to make Lasagna for lunch. I took my 2Tbsp. of Apple Cider Vinegar and drank a bottle of spring water while preparing the Lasagna. The calories in the lasagna made it a special treat so I made sure to eat a very small portion. It was hard to resist eating more but having team members show up early for our meeting made it a little easier. I felt full but it tasted so good I really wanted to eat more. I had a half a glass of Pepsi with supper and packed spring water to take to work for the evening. I must admit, it feels strange to leave the house with a small bottle of water and no Pepsi. I drank Mt. Dew for about 25 years before switching to Pepsi in 2010. It is definitely going to take some time to get used to this switch.
After the meeting was over I took my third dose of Apple Cider Vinegar for the day. My mom decided to start the vinegar regimen, too. She said she wants to lose weight and get healthier, as well. I had another small portion of lasagna for supper before heading out to work. I don’t know if it is my work or these lifestyle changes but I noticed my energy level is higher the last couple of days. It could be that I feel better since I am not having the heartburn and swelling. Either way, I am happy with this side effect.
After work, I had a banana and another bottle of spring water. I didn’t want to go straight to bed after eating the banana so I did some paperwork and then walked in the hallway for 3 laps. Trips to the restroom are very frequent since I am drinking so much water.
