So I had a couple of my blog followers send me messages wondering if I did my body scan as scheduled yesterday or not. Well, I was venting so much yesterday, that I didn't want to turn my blog into a novel so I decided to wait and share my good news with everyone today. (by the way...folks really are reading my blog- this is awesome!!) :)
In the midst of my panic yesterday, I called Dr. Dave and told him my potential scenario that I may have shingles and that it may not be a good day to do my body scan. (see, I set him up to say "come on in!)- and alas, he did say, "it doesn't matter if you have shingles or not- we can still do your body scan if you want." Love Dr. Dave! So I boogied on down to his office and hooked myself up to his magical B.A. machine. (I think it stands for bad ass-- you know, come to think of it, I don't even know what B.A. stands for. The only BA I know is Mr. T from the A-Team) :)
I also had to weigh myself- oh yeah baby! Down 12 1/2 pounds. Whoo to the hoo! Then, the moment of truth: Of the 12 1/2 pounds that I lost, 11 pounds of it was FAT! Yes, F-A-frickin-T! Hot damn! I was stoked!!! Also, my BMI decreased and I increased my healthy cells as well (as a bunch of other scientific lingo mingo that I wont' bore you with- it's because I don't know what the hell some if it means). LOL What a treat! So, we talked next steps... moving on to incorporating back in some foods that I haven't been able to eat in 28 days (strawberries, lemons, beef, pork, dairy)- but I don't know to what extent I am going to do this. I feel so good, that I am afraid to put some foods back into my system. But, like Dr. Dave said, "gradually try one food at a time. If you feel sick or bloated, you probably know that that food probably won't be on your menu items of choice." That's kinda scary. There may be some foods that I may never eat again (or on a very minimal basis). But...ya know, my health is more important. I feel great, I am ready to lose more weight. I am off my predinsone since being on the cleanse, so that is one less lupus medication that I need to take (yay). Also, moderate exercise also is the next step. (hence, the reason to continue on with my blog after the cleanse)- because I am sure I will have some stories!!
So for my followers, one more day of the cleanse blog and I will reveal what my next steps will be with my blog, etc.
Thanks again to everyone for you kind words of support or just telling my mom you are enjoying reading my blog. The goal was for me to stay true through this cleanse, but also for my readers to smile, cry and take a step back and be thankful. We are all very special folks!!!
Until tomorrow... elalleqa! (Good-bye in Arabic)
