Whig's Juice Fast, Day 6

The Numbers:
-Total Weight Loss: 21 lbs
-Sleep: Overslept this morn! I'm sleeping 1 to 2 hours more per night than before!
-More energy: Absolutely no need for a nap today!

Today's struggle? Going to an event tonight with more free food! I've never been offered so much free food as I have in the past 5 days!!!

Oh, well...I must trudge on!

Still having a problem with appetite...forcing myself to drink juice. Just not hungry (until I get around good smelling food!).

Drinking about 1/2 gallon of water a day. That might be what's keeping me full. Weight loss has slowed a little...just a pound a day for the past 2 days.

Today's Juice Recipe:

Loved this morning's juice!

-1/2 honeydew melon
-1 peach

Mmmmmm!!!!

Whig's Juice Fast, Day 5

The Numbers:
-Total Weight Loss: 20 lbs
-Sleep: Between 7 & 8 hours last night!
-More energy: Felt almost "jittery" all day.

Interesting day. Every expert says there will be a point early on where the toxins start leaving your body, any way they can. My nose has been running non-stop for the past 12 hours, and I've noticed some acne (which I read many people experience.)

Had a breakfast meeting at one of the all-time great places for breakfast: The Cracker Barrel. But it wasn't tough at all! In fact, I really enjoyed a tomato juice while the others enjoyed their omelettes, grits and such. Although, they did leave a huge pile of biscuits and gravy in the middle of the table!

The support I'm getting from everyone is VERY helpful, and I hope my two-week goal can be met!

I've been asked for juice recipes, so here's one of my faves so far:

-2 peaches
-1 apple (been using green apples...I like the "tart")
-a handful of strawberries

The peaches make a very thick juice, so it's almost like a shake! The apples helps to "water" it down a bit. And the strawberries add a taste and color you can't beat!

Don't forget to scrub all of your fruits and vegetables before juicing!

Whig's Juice fast, Day 4

The Numbers:
-Total Weight Loss: 19 lbs (4.75 lbs a day!)
-Sleep: Another great night of sleep. Falling to sleep very quickly!
-More energy: Actually caught myself bounding up stairs today!
-Lessen joint pain: Nothing noticeable yet.

Today's big struggle: Chocolate!

I attended a business networking event that was based around chocolate, and my old friend was everywhere I turned around! But, I fought temptation mightily and won!

Actually, a strange occurrence today...a loss of appetite. Not hungry at all since my morning juice. I have been drinking a lot of water, so that may be part of it. I'll definitely force myself to drink another juice later tonight, perhaps a cucumber, so that I get some calories and nutrients.

Am shocked at the rapid weight loss. Not sure how long the pace can continue. I was told that someone in my weight range might lose 30-40 lbs in two weeks, but I'm more than halfway there after only 4 days!

Whig's Juice Fast, Day 1

As Day 1 of this crazy juice fast comes to an end, I remain slightly optimistic.

As I type this, I am staring at a homemade concoction consisting of tomatoes, celery and jalepeno. My thought was "bloody mary." The reality is quite different. Blech...

I enjoyed a peach-apple-strawberry juice for breakfast, and carrot juice for lunch. Both met with my approval.

The toughest part of the day was going to the movies. Out of habit, I kept grabbing for my popcorn and Junior Mints. No such luck. But I did enjoy a luke-warm cup of water from the drinking fountain. :(

The only solid food I've had in the past two days was hummus yesterday. I felt a little light headed at times today, but am told this will pass after day three...or so.

Tomorrow, I'll start recording the various #'s relating to my goals.
