Last week I weighed 236. This week I'm down to 233. That's 3 pounds for the week and 27 pounds overall. At the Farmer's Market I only spent $20, thanks to Cathy's donation of a huge box of pears!
The poop situation is taking a turn for the worse. Until yesterday, I hadn't needed to go since last Friday. Yesterday, I felt constipated and like I needed to go, but couldn't. I took a stool softener which didn't work. I sat in a warm bath which didn't work. Chuck and I did a 1.23 mile loop around the neighborhood which didn't work. So finally, I did an enema - which worked, but was also uncomfortable to say the least and painful to say the most. Now I feel relieved - and sore. So my plan for the week is to double my water intake, do the mile loop everyday, and add a probiotic to one of my juices. I scheduled a doctor's appointment at the halfway mark, but she was so booked I couldn't get in until the end of the fast. So if the situation doesn't improve I may consider ending the fast early. We'll have to wait and see!
