TODAY'S WEIGHT: X19
LOSS TO DATE: 15.4LBS
MOOD: Tired, Slightly Depressed, Irritable
HUNGER LEVEL: Moderate
WORDS OF ADVICE: Get plenty of sleep and try something new!
So here we are on day three. I am definitely starting to feel the detox symptoms kicking in. My head hurts, I'm tired and I just want to lay in bed (though I have forced myself up to do Sunday errands with the hubby). I'm ready for this to be over and start eating normal again (not McDonalds or anything like that... but just solid foods in general... I'm dying for a veggie burger!).
I went to bed super early and got about 8 hours of solid sleep. I needed that!

JUICING DAY #2
SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 2013
TODAY'S WEIGHT: X20
LOSS TO DATE: 13LBS (lost through conventional dieting)
MOOD: Tired, Slightly Depressed
HUNGER LEVEL: Moderate
WORDS OF ADVICE: Don't forget about commitments you made to others!
On to day two! I got up at 5am (after a terrible night of sleep) and got on my elliptical for 20 minutes. This is by no means my record time, I just had zero energy... but I got my heart rate up there and maintained it. I thought I was going to die when I stepped off. I showered and then set off to Eastern Market in Detroit with a good friend. I shopped for two hours and bought tons of fruits and veggies for far cheaper than any grocery store in my area.
I had forgotten that I made a commitment to my mother-in-law to attend a luncheon for the Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary. This is where my forgetfulness and poor planning come into play. She had invited me and paid $50 for my ticket about a month ago. I started fully juicing on Friday. I felt obligated to eat some of the food that was so kindly ordered and paid for. I did well though, only eating about a third of the small broasted chicken breast, one steamed redskin potato and about a third of a cup of mixed steamed veggies and some salad. I was so full from that! But then I started feeling guilty because I felt like a failure. But I jumped back on juicing and I'm feeling good!
I am finding it necessary to drink a lot of water between juices to maintain a full feeling; otherwise I'm ravenous with hunger!

JUICING DAY #1
FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 2013
TODAY'S WEIGHT: X20
LOSS TO DATE: 13LBS (lost through conventional dieting)
MOOD: Good, Upbeat, Excited
HUNGER LEVEL: Low
WORDS OF ADVICE: In the words of Dori, just keep swimming!
Today is day numero uno for my juice cleanse ("reboot"). I have to say that I am excited and upbeat to be doing this for more reasons than the obvious weight loss.
My day passed without any major episodes of hunger, which made me happy. I made all my juices the night before so they were all ready to go when I left for work. I made a variety of juices, but I think as time goes on, I will cut down of the daily variety and stick to one or two juices for a day, then switch it up for the next day. It was very time consuming to prepare four different juices.

Updates
Well, to date I have lost 15 pounds... YAY ME!
I am starting a juice cleanse (starting it today, officially). I watched the move "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" and decided, you know what... Imma do this! So I have been prepping myself all week to start a 10 day cleanse. I went to my doctor and had blood work done, got my cholesterol results (and I'm happy that my cholesterol is NORMAL!!!).
I do have to say I've gone all out on this, so I intend to full stick to this and see myself through to the end!
I got myself a new scale off of Amazon, which is freaking awesome and it sinks via blue tooth or WiFi to my cell phone and uploads to the app, that I have synced to My Fitness Pal. I also got a Body Media arm band (I guess its what the people on the show The Biggest Loser use, I've never personally watched the show). The band works pretty awesomely so far... I am shocked by my daily calorie burn!
So with all my gadgets and gizmos, I have my eye on the prize and I'm 15 pounds closer to it!!! Stay tuned for my daily juice cleanse journal!
Peace out!
