Let the Feeding Begin!

Day 13 - 12/30/12 - yesterday was my first day of re-feeding here at TrueNorth. for breakfast i had watermelon/cucumber juice. lunch was cucumber and something else (green), and dinner was carrot something. it was all good and welcomed, but because it was all juice i still felt like i was fasting. :-)  there were moments of hunger, but they passed eventually. i continued to drink water throughout the day as well.

in the afternoon, after i drank my lunchtime meal, i went for a stroll in the old cemetery around the corner from the center. it's a really tranquil place and there is a dirt path all around the outer edge of it. there were lots of trees, old monuments and headstones, and plenty of people and dogs enjoying the space to meander.

i made one loop in the cemetery and decided to hit the sunny streets of the neighborhood. i walked a couple of blocks down McDonald and found beautiful homes - big, small, Victorian, English, Spanish, country, old, new - quite a collection. and all well manicured. i took a short break in a gazebo a block away from "home" - i realize how weak my body is from not doing anything for 12 days. it's interesting how you can be so active one day and so unable to be active within just a few days. i don't feel unable to walk or do stairs, i just don't feel 100% stable - i seem to drift off the imaginary line a lot. :-)

i also wandered through the grocery store behind TN, just for fun, and took a shower. it felt really nice to wash my hair!

anyway. i hit my low for weight yesterday waking at 136.8. BP, HR, and TEMP were all normal.

Day 14 - 12/31/12 - today brings whole fruit plus juice for breakfast. they brought me watermelon/cucumber juice and a big plate full of pineapple, grapes, and watermelon chunks. all of it tastes great and it's nice to finally chew again!

my plan today is to get out and walk more. i might ride the bus to the Coddington mall area and walk around. Dr Goldhamer is speaking at 2pm, so i probably want to be back for that. that is unless i'm just having too much fun being out in the world. it's nice to have the option to leave and explore. for lunch and/or dinner i can have salad (raw veggies only), more fruit, and probably more juice. carrots will be nice to eat. :-)  tomorrow i might get to introduce some cooked veggies along with the raw and fruit. we'll see.

BP 94/54, HR ?, TEMP 98.3, WT 136.8
