Day Twenty-six

Weird - weight this morning is 63.3kg (139.5lb)

That seems to be a very large gain.

Yesterday I drank purchased juices as due to a lack of organisation the cupboard was bare and I was in no mood to be carrying veges about.

I drank one quart homemade green juice, quite a lot of tomato juice which I really enjoyed, and one quart purchased green juice, which was mostly fruit.

I also took some vitamineral green, which resulted in me spending the day in the bathroom, as it always does.

I'm guessing that there was pulp and fiber in the purchased juices, and I know they're much more calorically dense than my own green ones.  Also I'm guessing there may be a lot of sodium in the tomato juices which might cause some fluid retention.

Something I've been aware of is that the days when I take vitamineral green always result in a lot of gas, discomfort and bathroom visits, and a slight gain the next day.  Perhaps there's a connection.

So all in all, a combination of factors;  lack of forward planning, perhaps some fiber and sodium I hadn't expected, causing fluid retention, and more calories than normal.

Serves me right, and it's a good lesson.  I need to get organised this weekend and stock up for the final week of juicing.  I'm not really bothered by it; there has to be a weight gain coming when I go back to solid foods anyway.  One must never lose sight of the fact that the initial drop was the loss of waste from the colon, and water.  So that's all going to come back.

It is a gorgeous Autumnal day today, and we are off to Bodega Bay for the night, so I may not post till Monday.
