Day #17 weigh-in: 120.2, once again down .2 pound from the previous day. Exercise yesterday consisted of only a 1/2-mile jog and a couple of laps in the YMCA pool. Reminder: Our goal is to consume as close to 1000 calories as possible each day of this 28-day diet, while maintaining the high nutrition and […]
Day #16 weigh-in: 120.2, once again down .2 pound from the previous day. No exercise yesterday. I’m surprised I lost any weight at all! Reminder: Our goal is to consume as close to 1000 calories as possible each day of this 28-day diet, while maintaining the high nutrition and 80% alkaline/20% acid ratio of our […]
Day #15 weigh-in: 120.4, down .2 pound from yesterday. I attended my daughter, Kelly’s, baby shower yesterday and managed to eat only the healthiest treats at the shower. It’s a good thing I was on this 28-day diet, or I’m not sure I would have been able to resist a bite of the chocolate cheese […]
Day #14 weigh-in: 120.6, own .8 pound from yesterday. Walked 1.1 miles to church yesterday, but rode home with George. Reminder: Our goal is to consume as close to 1000 calories as possible each day of this 28-day diet, while maintaining the high nutrition and 80% alkaline/20% acid ratio of our OsteoDiet. At the end […]
Day #13 weigh-in: 121.4. Same as yesterday. Reminder: Our goal is to consume as close to 1000 calories as possible each day of this 28-day diet, while maintaining the high nutrition and 80% alkaline/20% acid ratio of our OsteoDiet. At the end of the 28 days, we’ll determine our Metabolic Function Index, a measure of […]
Day #12 weigh-in: 121.4. Exercise yesterday consisted of a 1.1-mile jog. I just wonder: How is it possible to gain .4 pound on 1161 calories? I’m beginning to think my metabolic rate is lagging. However, I’m not quite half way through this 28-day diet. I’ll know more by the end. Reminder: Our goal is to […]
Day #11 weigh-in: 121.0, down .2 pound. Yesterday did weight training + the treadmill for warm-up and cool-down + stretching. Reminder: Our goal is to consume as close to 1000 calories as possible each day of this 28-day diet, while maintaining the high nutrition and 80% alkaline/20% acid ratio of our OsteoDiet. At the end of […]
Day #10 weigh-in: 121.2. Up .6 of a pound from yesterday. I actually gained weight on only about 1100 calories! Well, I didn’t get any exercise yesterday, but it still seems strange to gain weight on such a modest amount of food. I will definitely make it a point to exercise today! Reminder: Our goal […]
Day #9 weigh-in: 120.6. Same as yesterday, but I didn’t get any exercise yesterday either. When I tested my pH level this morning, both urine and saliva indicated a pH level of 6.6, which falls far short of the ideal reading of 7.4. So, I’ll need to tip the balance of my food intake to […]
Day #8 weigh-in: 120.6. Down just a tad. I walked 2.2 miles yesterday, but completed no other exercise. Reminder: Our goal is to consume as close to 1000 calories as possible each day of this 28-day diet, while maintaining the high nutrition and 80% alkaline/20% acid ratio of our OsteoDiet. At the end of the 28 days, […]
Day #7 weigh-in: 120.8. Now we’re getting somewhere! I walked two miles yesterday and bellydanced for 1-1/4 hours. Apparently, exercise did the trick. Reminder: Our goal is to consume as close to 1000 calories as possible each day of this 28-day diet, while maintaining the high nutrition and 80% alkaline/20% acid ratio of our OsteoDiet. […]
Day #6 weigh-in: 121.4. No change again, but I didn’t get any exercise yesterday either. (I was attending a teacher training in Port Orange.) Man, I hate to think that all my body burns is 1084 calories if I spend a sedentary day! I’m definitely getting some exercise today. Reminder: Our goal is to consume […]
