Okay, so we're back, and this time we're doing it a bit differently. After having done a bit more research and mentally prepared a bit better for this juicing thing, I know I am ready to try my revamped effort. It may end up being a "two steps forward, one step back" kind of things at first, but I figure that is better than nothing at this point.
I have printed up the grocery list for the recommended 3-day juicing plan, which is what I'll be doing for the next three days beginning tomorrow. (Saturday). It is going to be a bit difficult with my work schedule, but I'm up for the challenge.
Titan hasn't lost his desire for juicing, though he hasn't been as strict as before. I know that together we are going to be able to encourage each other to get through this first three days.
I did notice last time when juicing that I had a lot of energy. More than I had while working, even though I felt so very hungry at first. I hope that this revamped thing will allow me to ease into a longer juicing session eventually.
I did gain a bit of the weight back after the first 8 days last time, but not as much as I thought.
My current weight: 238. My ultimate goal weight is 180. Anymore than that and I fear that I will look emaciated. My bone structure is pretty large. Although, once I reach that first goal, we'll see how it goes. Perhaps I'll need/want to lose even more.
For now, let's get through the next three days.
I'm starting out with a lovely carrot/apple/lemon juice. Yesterday I made a carrot/apple/ginger juice that was absolutely amazing. And, I don't even care for carrot juice on its own. It's too bitter for me. The apple and the ginger gave it the needed sweetness and kick. I'm sure the lemon will make it a bit sour, but good, too.
