meara, I've been on a two shakes and a clean meal diet for the last 14 days. I haven't cheated once, but I've still days where I gained 4 lbs and others where I've lost a lb. a day.
It seems the body just fluctuates, regardless.
I haven't been hungry at all...but did have one WANT episode when I was upset. I think the supplements I've been taking really have increased my satisfaction and reduced my need for more food.
Now, if my skin would just clear up. I'd be golden.
...but that means poor chia is bald! Heh.
Heh. I'm a mean muthuh.
I do have to say, I think the chia seeds expand in the belly. I noticed that they had a kind of gelatinous thing going on when I chewed them. Now I'm _stuffed_.
Tomorrow, it's just fresh coconut milk and juice.
I chatted with a fellow who is on day 3 of the same raw juice fast and he said he felt terrific.
It'll be an adventure.

Ground chia seeds mixed with water are often used as an egg replacer in vegan baked goods, because it becomes a gel and acts as a binder the way eggs do. So maybe it becomes a gel in your tummy and that's why it's filling.

This makes total sense to me.
Thanks so much for saying that. Now I know I wasn't imagining it.

I am no good at things like juice fasts. They make me dizzy and headachy.
Out of sheer funk, I ended up with muscle spasms last night and I feel like I did a hundred situps and then was hit by a truck.
My trivia team did do the best we've ever done in a tournament today, so that's something.
You go, Nora. I was hoping for loving today, but nope. I didn't really try, though.
At corner bar. Neighbor friend is buying me beers and giving me smokes. Love my landlady. Hmm, I drink much more, I may try a booty text.

Same here.
meara, jeepers, how ungrateful. I hope your friend proves to be a lot of fun on your vacation anyway! I'm still gnashing my teeth that I can't go.

Randomly, good GRIEF, gluten-free stuff is expensive. But now I have the ingredients to make GF popovers.
I would like this migraine to either go away, or actually happen for real, instead of this hazy halfway state. I feel like I *should* be doing things, but I'm not quite well enough.
Me too on no juice fasting. Need protein.
Swing and a miss on the booty text. Boo hiss.
Booooo for no booty. Glad you're having a fun night with J though. Man, now I wanna come hang out with y'all. Tell her I say HI!!
omg, I was so booty-ready that yesterday I was drooling over a bartender shaking a cocktail. Like, it was INTENSE.
Between being sick, having anti-b related stomach issues and yeast infections, having a houseguest, and being apart for 5 days... damn.
I did some tempting though. I think it'll pay off soonish. Hope so. Been too few and far between lately.
J says HI!!
HG scuttlebutt - not based at Village this year, can't afford what M is asking. Don't have a base yet. Meep.
