The New Attempt

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.  

Day 6

Fell off the wagon hardcore on day six.  What I do for work is just not very conducive to this juice fasting thing, although I am going to redouble my efforts to get back on the wagon.  I ended up eating two meals and not very good ones at that AND I have to start my no soda day count all over again.  Bleh...  It's okay though.  I'll keep trying. 

On the brighter side of things, I'm down nearly five pounds for the first week, so no matter how I look at it, it is still a win for me. 

Titan's body has started to expel the toxins he's been carrying around for a while.  He called me a bit frazzled, but I told him that it was perfectly normal and that I've been experiencing that same thing since beginning the juice fast. :)

Day six was yesterday.  Today starts day seven.  I didn't get home from work until nearly 5am and I slept until just about noon.  This job is going to kill me in the end, I'm almost sure of it. :)  I made lunch for my brother, so I went ahead and joined him.  It wasn't completely unhealthy. I made cheesy chicken tacos, so at least I got some protein from the chicken and fiber from the veggies.  So, not completely bad at all.  And, I split a cantaloupe with him.  It was the sweetest fruit I've eaten in months.

So, back on the juices and NO soda and will continue to plow forward.  I figure that as long as I'm losing weight and feeling good about myself, it doesn't matter if I slip up from time to time.  Yes?
