| Raw foods are good for your liver. |
I lost 2.25 inches and 2/10s of a pound. This is one of the weeks of the month I usually gain and I was very happy to feel my clothes getting looser instead!
I'm still sleeping a lot. I had two nights that were just over 8 hours but the rest were 9-9.5 with last night being almost 10 hours! The extra sleep is taking some of my quiet evening hours away but I'm getting more done each day. I have more energy without as much of an afternoon slump each day. I even feel hyper off and on throughout the day. I'm tired by 9 pm which is new for me because that is when I usually felt really awake. I've always wanted to sleep for 8+ hours even though I felt I should grow up already and sleep like an adult. Now, I'm enjoying lots of sleep without the guilt! According to the book Lights Out we should sleep 9.5+ hours per night during the winter which should start in September and last for 7 months. You should also keep your carbs to under 45 to burn all of your stored fat. In the summer you can sleep less and eat more carbs. It does make sense even though it's difficult to implement in our modern times.

As for my goals I did not walk as I planned to. I had a bad headache yesterday and had to rest. I'm still getting at least 5000 steps each day even if I don't walk. I ate more raw veggies. I did a little of my tummy exercises. I still can't do very much without upper ab pain. I did not even attempt a T-Tapp stretch. And I haven't done any weight work. I was trying to wait till evening so hubby could work out with me but then other things had to be done and the weight training didn't happen. I might have to do them during the day instead. We will try to workout tonight and Sunday.
Next week's goals:
*Raw food at each meal
*Try sauerkraut
*Walk outside each day
*Weights 2X
*More tummy work
*Try T-Tapp stretch
