I did it!

I drank my last glass of "lemonade" - for a while, anyway!!

10 days, food-free. Wow.

Honestly, I wasn't sure if I could do it...but I am SO proud of myself for sticking it out.

And, my stomach has been feeling so much better, and I've lost 13 pounds. (I'll do a final weight in the morning, and take my measurements, too.)

So what now? Well, after 10 days without food you can't just eat anything right off the bat. The book suggests a way to break the fast, which I'll (mostly) follow.

Day 1 (that's tomorrow!) - the book says only orange juice, but I'm going to also eat a whole orange for lunch and one for dinner. (That small modification is where the "mostly" from above comes in.) Yay, something not LEMON!!
Day 2 - orange for breakfast, orange for lunch, homemade veggie soup for dinner...yay, something not sweet!!
Day 3 - orange for breakfast, veggie soup for lunch, salad for dinner...yay, something to crunch!
Day 4 - the book says to resume eating as normal, assuming normal is healthfully. I'll start South Beach Phase One, and I'll discuss that more when we get there.

I have more to post, including the weekly card, but I'm tired, so it's bed time for me, folks!
