Day 5

Hey all!!


So today, I woke up and juiced my breakfast, which was the morning green glory juice. It consisted of two lemons, 2 apples, 2 cucumbers, 6 celery sticks and a bunch of leafy greens. Which reminds me, I need to restock on Kale. Also, my aunt is getting pretty mad at me now because, oh no, I'm taking up two drawers full of the fridge with all my produce! I forgot to leave room for her philly cheese steak pizza leftovers...
..........

Anyway.

This mornings juice was really good. It tasted almost like lemonade. And there was a BUNCH of veggies in there, which made me feel great and full of energy.

 

 

I went off to my mothers house to weigh myself. Aaaaaaaaand I lost 4 lbs!! I'm happy that I'm already seeing a weight difference in the first 5 days. After begging my mother and step-father, I borrowed their scale for the next 10 days. This will help me out, because I get so excited when I see my weight go down. Starting the fast, when I went to my doctors, I weighed 141 lbs. I'm now down to 137, and my goal is 125-130lbs. Hoping by at the end of this fast, I'll be there. With all the energy I have and the walking I'm doing, I can't wait to see!

So this is what all of those veggies in the first photo turned into. It made a LOT of juice! More than any recipe I've tried yet! The cucumbers added a lot of juice, and yet when I drink it, I can barely taste them! Also, I'm having another coconut water as an afternoon snack. And, I think it's growing on me. It didn't taste as bad as the other day. In fact, strangely enough, I kind of enjoyed it. Weird. My taste buds really ARE changing!

Oh, I also wanted to say, there's a cashier that works at Hannaford (my grocery store) and I always go to her checkout lane. I spoke with her on the first day of my juice fast and told her about the documentary. I went back again to buy more produce, and she said she had watched the film and was very inspired by it! (Fat Sick and Nearly Dead) That made me very happy to hear. I've been trying to get my aunt into it, but she absolutely refuses. She's got thyroid problems, and I really really think it would help her. My step father is a macho guy whose a meat eater, so he thinks this juice fast is silly, but I can't wait to prove him wrong!

Also, guys, if you could spread the word on my blog, maybe we can inspire others to eat healthier, or have a juice here and there. I'm recording this as I go, and I'm positive that by the end of this, I'll lose more weight. So maybe having people look at a before and after will inspire them? It's for anybody, even the super skinny folks! If my own blog doesn't cut it, check out the reboot site for other people's rebooting stories. http://www.rebootwithjoe.com/category/rebootprofiles/ It all started for them with juicing, just like I'm doing here.

Thanks guys!
