I've decided to scrap the cleanse. I've been the incredible shrinking woman for the past 5 days, and that's nice, but it's not translated into any change on the scale. It's odd, I'm not sure why I haven't lost weight, my clothes have gone from not being tight any more to not fitting me at all.
The boyf is still doing really well on the cleanse, but I just couldn't do it. I think I'm more effected by low blood sugar than he is, and also I'm less dilligent about feeding myself if the food is not something I find appetizing. Also I couldn't drink the salt water in the morning to flush out my intestines.
I found during the time I was on the cleanse, I was lethargic, couldn't get going and was a bit forgetful. Anyway, I started back on the solid foods today. I had a little brown rice and some veggies, and then later I ate some french fries, normally my favourite food, but after being on the cleanse, they tasted dry and tasteless and the ketchup tasted very acidic. Somehow, I thought after not eating much for a few days, that food would be tastier not harder to eat, but there you go.I hope that I can put a last push on and loose some pounds before Thursday, but if I don't it wasn't for lack of trying. The other factor is that I spent the entire day on the stairs of highrise buildings yesterday knocking on doors trying to get people out to vote and by the end of the day yesterday my bum knee was killing me. Then when I got up this morning my calves were aching. The boyf tried to massage them tonight and I couldn't even stand him touching them they were aching so badly. Boo-urns!
I hope you guys are all having a better weight loss week than I am. I'm just taking consolation in the fact that even though I'm not lighter, I'm a whole lot thinner and looks are what really counts anyway.

Why did you guys vote in a conservative gummint? What a shame!
As for a negative percent two week is a row, this week aint over yet and I can still make sure I at least stay level this week. It may mean taking a couple days off from work and staing at the gym all day long.
See Yrautca's last post. :0(
I'm really proud of you for putting in so much effort Jennifer. And you're right. It's not what the scale says that matters, it's how you look and feel.
It is how you look and feel.
Good for you Jennifer!
I will not be the biggest loser this week because of the stupid pizza rolls.
But I did get a free week to a gym and hubby said I could join.
And I love the classes.
Yrautca, I was working for the NDP (the leftist 3rd party), not the Conservatives or the Liberals. I have no idea why anyone would vote Conservative, now our socialized health care, civil rights (i.e. gay marriage), and women's rights (i.e. reproductive rights) are going to take a serious beating. We could have had nationalized childcare, but now we're just going to get a hundred dollars a month for each kid. Have you ever heard of a daycare that only charges a hundred dollars a month? Fuck!
The only upside is that since it's a minority government they can't do anything without support from at least one other party. That means that we might not be dragged into Iraq. Knock on wood!
You'll notice that in Toronto there were no Conservatives elected, I blame those bastards from Alberta.
Anyway, this isn't a political blog, if you want to hear more political bitching check out my other blog.
As for you Yrautca, I'm sure that you'll rectify the situation. Mine is looking up a little bit, as soon as I went back to solid food I went down a bit, perhaps this is opposite land and the more I eat the more I'll lose!
Legs are still aching today. I think Yoga might be the way to go.
I'm off to eat my first oatmeal in 6 days. I'm pretty excited.
So Jennifer did you find anything interesting in your poop? As well, i thought the cleanse was to clean the plaque from your bowels...not to loose weight, though obviously one would think that would be a bonus to not eating.
Berly i used to love pizza rolls, but unfortunately i don't think they make just cheese ones...or fortunately LOL.
I'm gonna kick all your asses this week it looks like :)
No, my poop wasn't very interesting at all, I suspected when I started that my bowels wouldn't produce anything interesting, my diet was so high in fibre to start with that I doubt I had anything interesting kicking around in there.
The main goal of the cleanse isn't weightloss, but it suggests that if you are overweight you can lose something like 2 lbs a day. I can't help bt wonder how it's physically possible to not eat a solid thing for 5 days and not lose an ounce. I didn't cheat at all. I'm not really concerned about not losing, not winning this week will be a bummer, but it's out of my hands because I really really tried my best, I didn't cheat, so I don't feel like I could have done any better. I'm just going to go back to the plan I was on before of low-fat high-fibre foods and being active.
I have no idea what a pizza roll is, but I'd like to tell you both about transfats some time.
Jennifer, maybe it's like when people think they will skip meals to loose weight and it never works. Your body goes into starvation mode and holds the fat :)
Yeah, but the boyf lost 14lbs.
Boo-urns!
Anyway, I just went out and stocked up on some healthy treats I was craving while I wasn't eating like mango and kiwi and then I got a not so healthy treat, some raisin bread, but that was the thing I wanted the most over the last week and I'll just eat one slice with some low-fat marg and decaf tea with skim milk and freeze the rest. I think I'll do that right now in fact.
