Fail

I almost made it through day 4, before we decided that this was too expensive. We spent over $200 in 4 days for us to have 3 "meals" each a day.

I wish juicing wasn't so expensive. We're still gonna juice, just not every meal.

I ended up losing almost 10lbs though.

Juicing: Day 3

Not really much to update about. I drank carrot and orange juice today. You couldn't taste the carrots at all, and I probably used 4 or 5 of them. It did make a really bright orange juice lol.

Anyway, down 5lbs, but I'm sure its water weight.

Juicing: Day 2

It's nearing towards the end of day 2, and today was easier than yesterday. No dreams of pizza...just fried chicken. When I got on the scale this morning, I was down 1.8lbs lol. I woke up with a headache, and cramps. I hate being a female sometimes.  I only took half the dose of an ibuprofen that I usually do, and my headache eventually went away.

Last night, Aaron and I were debating on eating something light because we kind of went into this cold turkey. Mmm turkey. Sometimes I think this juice diet detox thing is stupid, and I would feel better if I ate 1 meal, and juiced the others. Aaron originally wanted to do 30 days, but this is our first time doing this, we didn't even do a trial run or anything. He asked why can't this be our trial run. I'm going to do this for as long as I can stand without going crazy. I've never done something so extreme

For breakfast, I made a banana, strawberry, grape, apple and cucumber juice. It lasted me until noon. I didn't even put a dent in my lunch juice. That consisted of kale, cucumber, carrots, spinach, and I think apple.

Before I met Aaron, I went on a chicken and tuna diet, and I lost a significant amount of weight. I'm thinking about doing that again. At least I could eat lol. I would eat a yogurt and a piece of fruit for breakfast. Snacks would be unlimited vegetables. Lunch

It's almost 8pm, and I'm not hungry, but I know if I don't drink something, I'll feel sick later. I should probably go grab a glass of the remainder of my lunch juice.

Anyway, mood wise, I was pretty irritated most of the day. At work, all I wanted to do was go home and crawl in bed, but I never did that. I'm regretting it now.

So here's the end of day 2.

Juicing: Day 1

Well today hasn't been bad so far. Its 5pm, and I just got off work. I had a banana, carrot, strawberry, apple and broccoli mixture for breakfast. No, I did not have the piece of fruit and yogurt. I'm going to see how this goes for a couple of days, and if my body isn't reacting well, then I will add those in. For lunch (and lunch I mean 10am-2pm is how long it lasted me) I drank about 32oz of a beet, apple, spinach mix. I'm not exactly sure of everything in there because Aaron made it. It was okay. It didn't smell appetizing, but it was actually not bad. I just got home, and I made a strawberry, banana, apple, carrot and celery mixture. My stomach grumbled throughout the day, but I'd drink a little bit at a time, and the grumbling would go away.

One thing I couldn't stop thinking about today was pizza. How pathetic. I haven't even completed 1 day of this juice detox, and I'm dreaming about pizza lol. Work was kind of slow, so that didn't help, but I made it. And, I can't stop peeing. I went about 5 or 6 times at work today, which was odd for me because I hate using the work bathrooms so I try to hold it until I get home lol.

I figured if we just quit throwing in a bunch of shit into the juices, and actually find recipes, it'll be more organized, and it'll save us money. We spent a little over $100 on fruits and vegetables yesterday, so I'm hoping this lasts at least until Wednesday. On Fat Sick and Nearly Dead, they figured around $14/day per person to juice, so we would get our money worth.

I think I feel a headache coming on, but sometimes I can tend to be a bit of a hypochondriac, so we will see what happens.

I'd still like to juice a piece of pizza, or a hamburger.

Until tomorrow....
