Day 100

The days keep piling on and the weight keeps falling off, I have reached triple digit days, the day I reach triple digit weight loss will be a great day for me. things are going ok but this week the weight loss has been very little to none. lately when I wake up I feel heavy, ok ok so I AM heavy, no surprise there right? but really, I don't know how to explain it other than I feel heavy. I wake up and walk down stairs and it just feels like I am somehow being pulled down the stairs, like gravity has increased for me or something. theres nothing going on with gravity that I should know about is there?

I have not had any of my Arizona green tea for a couple days so I have been brewing everything that I have been drinking, I have been alternating between the gunpowder tea and the tea bags that I have, the gunpowder tastes best to me and I brew it in a stainless steel tea ball that we picked up a while back, I am actually looking into getting a green tea plant, something interesting that I have found out while exploring this idea is that Green tea, Black tea , and Oolong tea is all made from the same plant, which is a shrub called Camellia sinensis, the difference in the teas is the way the leaves are processed, to make green tea the leaves are steamed an then dried, and to make black tea the leaves are bruised fermented than dried and Oolong is somewhere in between that. It seems like a cool Idea to me since I drink so much to raise a plant and see if I can make some tea myself. If this idea materializes I will be sure to post some pics of the plant.


My calories for day 100 ended up at 1385 for the day, ending with some Green jello around 8:00pm, we have been making sugar free jello every day since I found out that my daughter loves to help make it. she mixes it, she pours the cold water into the bowl and then picks a spot in the fridge for it and reminds us that its in there after dinner each night. Intake is average and I am not varying from my path at all. weigh in day is upon us once again tomorrow and I am not expecting a big drop as I have been checking in all week and my weight has not moved in either direction for the most part, its slightly down but not a whole lot at all. I think its because I was sick lat week and had that 8 lb drop so this week is catching up. either way it is what it is and will be the number reported on tomorrows post, no worries, I have come to the realization that this is not a race nor is it a competition, I am in this all by my onesome just like each and every one of us is. the support helps and is likely a huge factor in the success but when it comes down to it at the end of the day when the lights are out, its just you by yourself and doing whats right for your body to create the masterpiece that is you.
