Still here, still juicin'

Juicing is boring...I mean once you get the hang of it you just do it and then thats it.

Not much to really talk about sadly!

I have decided to switch to all greens for the main part of my meals--I drink 4 times and will only drink a fruit juice 1 time a day. I think I am drinking too much sugar--even though its natural the greens tend to speed up and cleanse me faster so i am trying that this week.

exciting I know!

Day 16 (I think)

Pros :

• I have lost 20 pounds -- and still have my boobs (so far) which was my main worry
• People tell me daily how I have lost weight - awesome!
• I sleep better than I have in years
• My period -- the vile most painful 7 days of every month lasted 3 days with no cramping whatsoever--seirously I have not gone without eating Midol like candy that one week a month EVER in my entire adult life
• My skin is pretty fresh and glowy
• I have tons of energy-so much so that I don't even feel like taking my nap (I am a big napper every chance I get)
• I have not been feeling depressed since juicing--I battle with depression. Not the {"I am going to kill myself" type--more the "I dont want to leave my house" type)
• and probally a few more things I am forgetting have all been the positives

Cons:

• I am bored.

Bored not at only eating/drinking juice but just bored because this isn't challenging anymore. Maybe its because I dont live a life full of distractions --no kids, no husband--so its just me doing what I want to do when I want to do it so I dont have to suffer through making meals for my family or running the kids here and there. I just wake up and juice, drink, drink at lunch, come home and juice, maybe go to the store to grab something I ran out of , juice again, go to bed.

Boring.

I think I have to set some sort of new challenge this week.What I do not know.

Gym or bust!

SO tomorrow I am back to the gym 5 days a week. The weather is supposed to be nicer which means my "its too cold and my bed is warm and toasty" excuse will no longer work.

I actually MISS the gym ---I love working out. I know for sure my weight loss will be more dramatic when I get back into my routine.

Oh and yes..I weighed myself and I have lost 22 pounds in 15 days :)


15 days down and 45 days left. Doesn't seem that unbearable :)

hunger

today I am actually hungry

i think its because I didn't get a chance to drink my breakfast completely

add to that the smell of bbq chicken that someone just nuked at work and my stomach is rumbling.

I can not wait to get home today to get my juice on!

Day 11 and still rocking and rolling!

Not too much new to report.

Maybe I will get around to taking some after pics so I will post my before and afters eventually.

I think I am up to 17 lbs lost.

Yay! But Seriously I will be excited when I see 50 less pounds :)

Started getting into the habit of cutting my morning veggies (I switched off to drinking a greens drink) and my afternoon fruits the night before, sticking them in chilled (in the freezer) bowls and covering them in plastic wrap so the following morning my juicing only takes 10-12 minutes. Time saver for sure.

I have been trying to get to the gym this week but that has been a fail JUST because I go at 4:45am and it has been like 30 degrees outside. If its between 30 degrees and my toasty bedroom well I will stay curled up.

Got to get into the gym though since 1. I am paying for it and 2. My weight will come off faster.

Oh cold weather you are killing me!

For the week ahead

I went grocery shopping yesterday since I had the day off to stock up for the week. I love how fruit and veggies are so bright and inviting.

Although I used to feel the same way about the glowing orange from cheese puffs I have to say that oranges definately make me feel better!



The Best Part of Being on A Juice Detox/Fast

is that only after 10 days people are noticing I have lost weight :)

I am 6'1" so for people to notice I am skinnier it means I have lost more weight than I thought I have.

HOORAY !!
