Today is a day to ease into this Lemonade Cleanse.
We slept in today...the week in Anchorage really took a toll on us...but was super fun, nonetheless.
After waking up, I do not feel hungry in the slightest. The commissary opens in a little over half an hour and all we need to get started is a bunch of lemons.
My mentality for the cleanse only is in good spirits, however, my mentality in general is not so good. I have been excited for months about the trip to Anchorage not only to get our Rav4, but to also add a new buddy to the family, a guinea pig. So we get to Anchorage, and one of the first things we do after filling out car paperwork and eating at Golden Corral is go to Petsmart and pick out a baby guinea pig...Ginny. A sweet little short hair brown and white guinea pig. We spent 4 wonderful days with her and the day we bring her back to Kodiak, we get her home and she looks terrible...refuses to eat or drink anything and before going to bed last night, she died. It effects me more than when my parakeet of 11 years dies. I think because I don't know why she died. Snowbell the parakeet lived a very long and happy life. But Ginny was still a baby and I don't know why she died. I don't know if it was the stress of moving her from Anchorage to Kodiak, or if it was the terrible fumes in our room in Homer, or if she got cold in the car on the ferry, or if the store sold her to us and she was already sick. Either way, I feel incredibly guilty. Plus, I spent a good amount of money on food, bedding, toys, treats, and more for this little girl, and now she's gone after spending 4 days with her. I feel sick at the thought. And my first instinct is to curl up and mope with some ice cream...but my stomach is in knots as well.
Anyway, using the following website, I calculated my body fat percentage...I'd rather not say my weight because I do have a larger bone structure...but this website seemed pretty decent having me measure my neck, waist, and hips, and provide my height, weight, and gender.
So my total Body Fat Percentage for the morning of day one is 31.4%.
According to the charts: (gotten from this website: http://www.bmi-calculator.net/body-fat-calculator/body-fat-chart.php) I am just in the acceptable range. My goal is to get into the fitness range, and though I know I won't make the range during this 10 day cleanse, I hope to give myself a good jump start.
