Juicing - Day 5

Wasabi Veggie Drink - WARNING:  NOT GOOD.  DO NOT DRINK!

Oh my, tough tough day.  I was expecting an easier day today based on what everyone said.  But it wasn't. Maybe it has to do with the fact that the veggie juice I made had way, WAY too much ginger.  It was like drinking wasabi.  I just couldn't do it.  It was painful - TOO PAINFUL.  So I must admit, I caved.  At least I didn't go to the extreme that my husband did (McD's value meal).  My cave was a veggie wrap, mustard only.  Boy, that was the best wrap I've had in a while.  However, I do have a goal and I'm back on the straight and juicing narrow.  So, Day 6 - here I come.

Juicing - Day 4

Breville Juicer  

Much, MUCH easier day.  I think the key is to drink lots of water and drink the juice more often.  And the result, much higher weight loss when I weighed in this am.  Feeling so accomplished and like I can do this thing.

Also, more energy.  Not that I noticed, but my husband did.  Its 10pm and I decide to paint my nails.  His response, "when was the last time you were up past 9:30, let alone wanting to paint your nails?"  Very true.

Today is the start of Day 5 - let's see what I can do!

Juicing - Day 3

So Day 3 has come and gone.  It was much easier than the 1st 2 days, but nevertheless, I was still tempted to eat solid food.  Hot dogs at lunch called my name but were resisted.

It amazes me how tough it really is.  And the emotions that are revealed during the cleanse.  The frustration I have with others when I feel like they aren't supporting me in it or inviting me to "cheat".  But cheating is only cheating myself.  I thought I had discipline, but I was obviously deceiving myself or I would not be this overweight to begin with.  Also, the hunger that comes at night.  I really thought I wasn't a snacker at night, but I find that I am fully concerned with food before bed.

So, this cleanse is cleaning more than my body; it's cleaning my soul too.  Something everyone must do now and again.

Happy Juicing!

with love, 
Tammy
