Reflections:
Last week, I worked the hardest physically/nutritionally in a long time. Still, no change on the scale. What is going on??? Sigh. My books are here though, maybe it would shed some light. I also notice that I really should stop swinging the 8kg and it poses little or no challenge. But there is a milestone of being able to wear something from the skinniest days. :D


Activities: I'm not sure I'm going to be able to get a run in today because my schedule is just packed. But i'm seriously hoping. What I did get was a frigging awesome deep tissue massage!!

8am: Juice blend of apple, beet, carrot, strawberries, kale and watermelon beet.

usual seed, nut, dried fruit home mix, buncho carrots, 1 apple


Main meal @ pluto's with my friend, Alice
