I made it to Day 4. Actually Day 3/Day 4, since Day 4 won't official start until after 6:00 p.m. BUT still I am official on Day 4, any way you look at it.
I was a little bit bad (NO, I didn't eat anything!). I looked at a couple health recipes, especially ones that would help me get over my cheese addiction. LOL as well as other healthy alternatives of typical bad food that I enjoyed so much in the past.
Here is a lovely juice recipe I found:
Vegetable 8
1/2 Tomato
1/4 Cucumber
1 Carrot
1 Celery stalk
1 Handful Spinach
1/2 Red Pepper
1/2 Cup Cabbage
1 Green Onion
Green Hydrator
1 celery stalk
1 cucumber
1 green pepper
2 handfuls of spinach
The one thing is that I am cold, COLD, cold! I am seriously thinking about crocheting or knitting up some wrist/ arm warmers so that I can wear them during this period, because my hands are just so very cold. This morning I put on some thigh high socks, that my mother gave me last year. I hadn't worn them yet, so I didn't realize they were thigh high socks. I thought they were only knee socks, since the other pair was. I put them on anyway, just crunched them so they only when to the knee. Lovely things! The only funny thing is that they red with pink polka dots and one large pink heart at the top. LOL They are my Valentine's day socks. Oh well, I wore them anyway, as they were very useful for my cold legs. LOL
It probably didn't help that this morning I got very meticulous about shoveling the little bit of snow off my deck, my sidewalk and my driveway. I even drug out the broom and started sweeping it off my deck, since the shovel was gouging into the wood and not really helping much. I then worked on my side walk. I looked up and saw one of my neighbor's watching me, as she walked her dog. I am sure she must have though I was crazy or something for sweeping the snow off my sidewalk. I smiled at her and told her “ I am trying to prevent ice from forming”. I know that when Phil was living with me, I didn't do too much shoveling, as a lot of times, I was just worn out from working all day, etc. But since then, I have really tried to keep the stuff cleaned off so the ice wouldn't form. Phil would never do it and PJ did it once, which I was just horrified because he was doing it without a winter coat. He is father never bought him one. I still kind of wonder if he has done that yet.
Oh well.
So, I was shoveling, and sweeping my deck and sidewalk this morning in the COLD! Brrrrr! At least it is less likely to develop ice as I didn't let it sit, melt and freeze again.
I noticed last night and as well as this morning that my urine is very dark and strong. I am sure it hasn't been helping that I haven't drank a lot of water, so it isn't every diluted either. I am sure I am probably burning ketones by now. I noticed that when I was taking a shower, that my taste in my mouth has changed a bit. I could taste my teeth or something revolving my teeth. I guess I am getting that “off” taste I always get when I fast. My tongue was only slightly coated, nothing heavy looking. I think I am in store for a lovely weekend, since I should be starting my monthly course either today or tomorrow. I wonder how it will affect my activity level, since I do want to do a lot of things this weekend.
I want to:
1. Cut down my pineapple tops so I can plant them,
2. Propagate some Kalanchoe leaves,
3. Move my white shelving in the kitchen for my plants
4. Finish up my dishes,
5. Straighten and organize my cabinets
6. Organize my crochet patterns
7. Work on my Canna blanket and Ocean Waves blanket
8. Buy Plastic for my windows and put them up (to stop the drafts)
9. Buy Dryer vent guard and put it in (to stop the horrible biting draft in hallway)
10. Play my Wii
11. Exercise
Get my winter sweaters out of my bedroom closet
Move my dresser to get DVD's that have fallen behind it
Clean/organize my Kitchen Bar (has a mixture of stuff on it -tea boxes, plants stuff & small appliances)
Work on my Prayer Shawl (that I haven't worked on for almost a year)
I kind of want to move my couch back into the living room as well, but I have to give it serious thought since it would mean that I am okay with Phil moving out. PJ slept on it for so long, that I don't know I will feel about doing something like that as well as see it (as it is still in the guest room with the door closed). I might hold off on it, since I might be come too emotional due to my monthly cycle coming on. I don't want to add to any slight stress that might pop up during the weekend. I guess I will just have to play it by ear. You never know, I might get a bored and do it out of just having something to do.
As I was driving after I got off work, I had this weird sense of freedom. It was as it I was filled with so much hope, and I could sense how much freedom I actually had in my life. I thought about it for a moment, since I don't have children and I don't have a husband. I have always felt it was kind of a curse to have neither, but I realize with that type of freedom, I can really do anything if I put my mind to it. It was a lovely feeling for a while, until my mind got preoccupied with thoughts of Phil and other things.
My evening was okay. I went over to my friend, Christy's house, I don't know if it was a good idea. We ended up going to to Lowes to get some plastic for my windows, but then we stopped by PetLand to see the little Italian greyhound that I saw the day before. Christy was trying to convience me that get her. They even bought down her price to $650. I just couldn't. When I gave her up, I almost wanted to cry, because she just felt so right in my life. My best friend of 23 years could tell that I had a real connection with the dog. I really really wanted to, but I walked out with out her. It is better off this way. I won't go again to see if she is there. I am sure she will find a good home. I am sure that I will think about her a couple times during the weekend.
I wasn't achy or even hungry, which is always good on Day 4. I didn't get home until after 10:30 p.m. I was over at Christy's until then. When Christy made some cheese filled sausage, my nose twitched with flavor. It smelled so good, but I was not tempted at all. But it smelled sooooOoooo good!
I did start my month cycle, and I started to ache, so I went straight to bed once I got home. I would put plastic on my window's tomorrow.
