dining room dilemas

Fitness
This is day two of my colon cleanse/detox. I forgot to write down my weight and measurements yesterday. I want to keep track of my weight on my blog and my measurements periodically to hold myself accountable for maintaining a healthy weight.
weight: 121 lbs.
bust: 33 inches
waist: 29 inches
hips: 38 inches
I thought I would have lost some water weight today by doing the colon cleanse, but I still weigh the same amount. My ideal weight is about 115 lbs. I feel most comfortable at this weight, but find it hard to maintain. I do not like to be above 120 lbs., so currently, I am a little over where I'd like to be.

If not for my husband, I'd probably be eating a Papa John's pizza right now. I have had six or seven glasses of the colon cleanse mixture today (see yesterday's post for recipe). I am supposed to drink 12 glasses. This would be a total of 1,200 calories for the day. It is already 7:30 and I still need to drink the herbal laxative tea before bed. I don't think I will drink 12 glasses today, but it will be close.

Not having my morning coffee on the weekend is a real bummer. Luckily, I did not get a headache from no caffeine. I feel fine. I don't feel weak or run down, but I do feel hungry! I have had to urinate all day and had several eliminations (you'd think I would have lost a pound).

My ankle is starting to look like an ankle again. It is a little sore today, but at least I can see that there is a bone in there. I will try to take it easy for the next week with the hopes of being fully recovered. I did some stomach exercises and a few stretching exercises, plus 50 girl push ups (on the knees, so as not to put pressure on my ankle). Not much exercise, but better than nothing.

Other Information
My husband and I went to a local furniture store today called "The Potato Barn." The store is literally in a barn and has rustic and old world style furniture. We found some pieces we liked and the prices seemed reasonable. This may be the place where we purchase our dining room table and chairs ($195 for a dining chair verses $1,000 a chair at Norwood Furniture).
