Hello again! I am happy to report that we finished our one week 'ramped up' detox plan as of yesterday! I am still continuing with no sugar, and there are a number of things we started last week I will continue to do (like the workouts, the lemon water, and the organic peanut butter), but now at least I can have corn again, and noodles. I'm making chicken noodle soup tonight using the broth from the roosters we butchered last fall. They make REALLY good soup... but there has to be noodles!
Anyway, I took my measurements and I am actually down another 2lbs (4lbs total)! I still have about 6lbs until my goal weight, but I'm very happy about that! I measured my diastasis and it's about 2 fingers wide now! After only 1 week! YAY! As for my waist, it is down to 30 inches at the narrowest standing up, but my natural waist is at 31.5 inches (and I'd like for that measurement to hit 30). My husband is down another 1.5 inches (so 2 inches total) and 2lbs as of about 4 days ago (he was happy because it was just after eating that he weighed himself, so he didn't expect to see any difference).
One of the major health issues I was having seems to be resolved! I will give it a few more days to be certain, and I won't go into too many details here, but I am very pleased with how the last two days has been for me and I expect that I will continue in this health journey for some time, if only for that one benefit alone! That said, I have been dealing with headaches and cravings again yesterday and today. The cravings might be related in part to the magnesium. I don't have cravings for chocolate if I remembered to take Mg the night before. I need to try to remember to take the magnesium tonight. (note added March 27 - The issue is not totally resolved, but it is definitely improved, so that's good).
I asked my husband if he noticed any health differences in himself lately, and he has said he only noticed the weight. I am hoping to see him fall asleep less in random areas, as that will prove his sleep has improved at night. That is one of the biggest things I hope to see. I'm not sure I will be able to see a measured improvement in his liver health myself, but it seems that weight, liver health, and sleep apnea all kind of feed off each other. That said, we will continue to monitor the things that we can in the next two weeks as we continue in this journey towards our better health.
