Day Sixty Three...

Monday…
Well I was in my weekday routine again this morning as I started off at the fitness center at 6:30am through 7:45am and then into work.
I will tell you that it was nice having a 3 day break from working out and I know that my body needed it. Now I am hitting the fitness center hard this week each day through Friday.
I’ve gotta’ get these last 12 pounds off of me!
Tomorrow is Tuesday and my weekly hospital visit and I am again anxious to get to it and see what the damage is done. My luck I would have only lost ½ pound and still at the 200 pound mark. I hope not and hope this is another 3 pound or better loss this week.
My blood pressure is still low and I am running out of my prescriptions so I hope that my Doctor will remove them from me so I can see if I can control my blood pressure by diet and exercise instead of prescriptions.
I think that my pressure reading was 111/63 with a pulse rate of 58
I still feel good, actually exceptionally well for my 9th week of the NutriMed diet. My 10th week officially starts tomorrow, Tuesday.
Some days I cannot believe how long I have been on this very restricted diet and then it hits me….12 weeks is a long time to be on a liquid diet! I can honestly tell you that I don’t miss the food, as you get over that about your 3rd or 4th week on the NutriMed diet. And it seems that everything that I want to “taste” is good for you, such as fruit, milk, salad, etc. I will be very glad to start introducing food back into my daily living routine and I know my family will too.
I think that is why it is so important to me to get to my goal weight (188lbs) if possible, as I know I will pick up probably 4 to 6 pounds when I fully start eating again after my 5 week re-feed program. It’s a given, and everyone does, as their body gets used to eating again and consuming calories.
I will continue to work out weekly and watch my calorie intake so I can maintain the weight that I have worked so hard to get down too.
It’s time to close for today and wish me a good clinical trip and weight loss on Tuesday.
I will post after I get home from my weigh-in. Jon
