Juicing day 8

Day 7:

I'm off to a potluck, but I'm bringing juice!! Last night I was at a snack event, but had my juice too. It's tough - but I have "cheated" a little by adding some nuts and cucumber slices with balsamic vinegar. I just need something crunchy. It's weird.

I actually talked to Charles Bruno last night! It was fantastic! What an inspiring and caring guy. He's truly the reason why i was able to get started on this.

Juicing 101 with Laura

Hey! It's Friday. I can't say that I'm not craving something other than juice. I have a hunkering for anything like cashews, peanut butter, fish or chicken. I'm not necessarily longing for sugary sweets (my sweet juices satisfy that craving), and I don't really miss wine right now. I do, however, want something solid and crunchy. It might be the desire for more protein. I made this video yesterday with mom in my kitchen. I look horrible!! I'll hope to see some changes in the next 60 days.

Day 3

Day 2

Day 3 - I have to post 2 and 3 tonight. I am feeling pretty good. I've had a few moments of lightness and edgy crankiness. It's usually been when I haven't had anything, juice or water, for abut 3-4 hours. I've been consuming a breakfast, lunch, dinner, and 2 snack juices - 5 "meals" - maintaining diversity in the mix - some savory and some sweet, some tart. It's good. Breakfast: 1 beet, 2 carrots, 2 oranges Snack: coconut water with lemon, ginger and white grapes Lunch: spicy V8 - carrots, tomato, celery, scallions, peppers, cucumber, spinach or kale with jalapeno, dill and parsley for added zing! Snack: apple, kale, celery, cucumber, ginger Dinner: same as lunch.

Two year time warp and I'm back to square one

Help! Why do we continue to repeat ourselves? If only I were repeating healthy and vibrant things. Well, today, I am. I started my 60 day juice fast this morning. Sadly, Tim is making bacon and eggs in the kitchen, so the smells are overpowering. Fortunately, I am not yet hungry. I weighed in at 195 pounds this morning on mom's old-fashioned scale in the hallway bathroom. You know the kind that fits back into the wall? It's quite accurate. My scale had me at 193, so fairly close. My dimensions are even worse - 48, 42,46 or something like that. I feel like a beached whale, couch potato, raisin on a stick. I have no energy, I'm moody, I get reflux almost all the time, my aches and pains are more steady. I resist looking in the mirror. It's just no fun being me right now. So, today I start. Here I am in all my glory:

Here is my breakfast:
