Days 6 and 7
163.5
163

oops...Didn't make it through the weekend.

I did really well until dinner time on Saturday. I was hosting Easter dinner at our place so had spent the day preparing Waldorf salad, fruit covered angle food cake, collard greens, herbed cornbread (from cookinglight.com), baked sweet potatoes, mint green peas and organic turkey. At dinner time I decided I would join my family. I did farely well considering I hadn't eaten for 5 days. I timed dinner so that I would have to feed my daughter simultaneously which meant I had less time and no free hands to really eat much. I nibbled at a little bit of the turkey, had mostly green peas, 1/2 a sweet potato and a small slice of the cornbread. I skipped the greens since I eat them all week long now! I also made it a point to chew chew chew chew.

The good news, this finally kicked my digestive system into gear and I was finally able to go to the bathroom...although it was difficult and not satisfying. The bad knews was I ate chocolate on Sunday. I slept in (till 9am) took a hot bath with epson salt and had one green drink. Lunch was an organic fat free yogurt. Dinner was ha large handful of hershey kisses and such. bad bad bad bad! Oh, I also was desperate enough to drink a 'get regular' tea and take some stool softners. WTH is going on in there? I'm ingesting all sorts of digestive enzymes, inner cleanses, green drinks and cannot go to the bathroom! Finally the tea kicked in late afternoon and I found some relief. I'm curious to see how this next week goes.

I'm also thinking I will have another dinner on the weekend that I can actually chew. Time will tell.
