Monday, May 30th (now the good news)

The good news is that I have lost 9 lbs during this month of Living in Community.  We are having a shut down this week which is a major cleaning/overhaul/renovation of the facilities.  I am planning on doing a four day liquid diet to see what the results will be.  My biggest concern is that I will experience a lack of energy and not be able to keep up my routine and I do not want to start using caffeinated coffee to bring up my energy level.  If it proves to be too difficult I will go back to Community food which is delicious and plentiful and so lovingly prepared.
