Its Over Now

It's over now. My fast officially ended on Wednesday. But I have a confession to make... I cheated.

On Monday, I walked around thinking my fast was ending on Tuesday. But a quick look at the calendar confirmed my worst fears - two more days instead of one. I lost it... literally! All my will power went out the door. I went to Whole Foods and brought a whole naked chicken, sat down with my 4 year old and devoured half of it. Then my husband started asking me a thousand questions in the middle of my feast. My eyes involuntarily rolled in their sockets, I picked up my purse, and walked out the door chanting I need some alone time as I passed the threshold.

I found myself at Friday's with a new feast of steak, potato salad, and steamed broccoli. I devoured almost all of it including the Oreo ice cream dessert. Afterwards I felt sooo happy. I have continued to juice each morning, exercise each day, and take my vitamins. But I also eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner and snacks.

So I am on a new plan, eating healthy and exercising daily. By the way I need a new scale cause the old one started going crazy and giving me 6 different readings.

Almost There

I am almost there...

Tomorrow, I will end my fast and I am looking forward to eating foods again. It has been challenging the past few days.

I purchased Naked 100% Juice Smoothie, Boosted, Green Machine. The juice was flavorful. However, I found it to be a bit too sweet for me. I noticed after I drank it I was running to the bathroom every 10 minutes or so. I believe the juice raise my sugar levels which caused me to urinate frequently. I even tried splicing it water. I drank this juice for the past 1.5 days. I then purchased the Naked Protein Juice Smoothie, Protein Zone.

After drinking these juices, the scale is now tipping at 212 lbs. So yes, I actually weigh more now than I did two days ago. I lost more weight sticking to my vegetable juice. But hey, I was busy playing with the kids and looking for my lost dogs.

In the end, I think this juice would be great for people who are working out and need the energy. However, it was not suitable for my juice fast where I did not exercise regularly. Also the green machine juice has 28 grams of sugar per serving, which is a bit too much for me.

Snotty McHottie

So I am on day 3 of my juice fast and I am considering calling myself Snotty McHottie. I have more slime than 100 snails racing toward a finishline. I am sitting on the couch with a roll of tissues and plenty of mucus to accompany them. Perhaps my snot will breed some new superpower. Snotty McHottie coming to save to the world from wayward toilet paper! Maybe not. Well maybe it will earn me a walk on roll on Grey's Anatomy? Definitely not!

So why all the mucus you ask.. Well according to JuiceFasting.org

"Juice fasting accomplishes the task of removing excess mucous, dead cells, and other entrapped foreign material and also supplies an abundant supply of nutrients which the body, in its renewed energy level, immediately utilizes to heal."

I am definitely looking forward to dropping the Snotty - and just being McHottie  :)

Weight 211.4
