Day 3
Yesterday continued the fogginess to a small degree. I also still had a bit of a headache. But ths morning I feel much improved. I feel clear and focused.
The thing that’s the biggest negative about the juice fast is preparing the juice. It takes over an hour to make the juice for the next day. Peeling the oranges takes the most time. But it’s a small price to pay. I’m down 5 and ...

Day 2
Yesterday was day one and it was a tough day. I got hit hard with the dreaded “juice fog”. Many people experience a kind of fogginess and worn out feeling the first day. I guess it’s because your body is adjusting to the dramatic change to what you’re taking in.
I also had a head ache and I never get head aches. I ended up going to bed early, like 9:00 or so. I already feel better ...

Day 1
As ome of you know I previously did a 60-day juice fast earlier this year. You can check out my earlier posts to see how it went.
I ended up losing just under 40 lbs in 60 days. I gained back aout 5 lbs almost immediately when I started eating solid food again. After that, over about two months I gained another 3-4 lbs. But in general I was very happy with my ...

Day 51
Day 51 an I seem to be on a bit of a plateau. I’m not panicking though. This has happened more than once fso far. Then when it breaks the pounds dop off in chunks.
Only 9 days to go and I can see the daylight at the end of the tunnel. The best thing is being able to wear smaller clothes. I had a bag of shirts, mostly concert tee shirts, that ...

Day 46
I finally got back to the gym this morning. I missed most of the last three weeks because of a combination of car issues and laziness.
I started with week 3 of the Couch to 5k program. I like to run it on the treadmill at the gym because the treadmill forces you to run at the correct speed. I also use the Ease Into ...

Day 42
This weekend was tough. We had a fairly large pool party/barbecue. I made guacamole, which was delicious. I cheated and had a few spoonfulls. I also made chicken, steak, corn, hamburgers and hot dogs. On the plus side I got to use the megagrill for the first time and was able to cook all that stuff at once. Of course everyone else had beer and all sorts of deserts, but I stuck to ...

FINALLY! Down 30 lbs. If feels great!
Today we’re having a barbecue. I will be cooking on the MEGA GRILL! Chicken, steak, hamburgers, hotdogs, homemade guacamole. But I’m sticking to the juice.

Juice on!

DAY 40
So yesterday I was 217.8, just over one pound to go to be down 30. I was set to celebrate a huge milestone but was disappointed with a gain of 0.4.
I realize it’s not that big of a deal and that tomorrow I may be down 1.5 points, but the lulls are frustrating when I’ve made so much progress and am sacrificing so much.
The past couple of days have been super rough. I’m not hungry but I am having the strongest ...

DAY 38
Continuing on. Three weeks to go.
I finally got back into the gym this week. I had to miss the two previous weeks because we were down a car and that threw me into commuting by train mode, which messed up my morning routine. All better now though. Feels good to work out again.
I did upper body weights on Tuesday and today I ran week 3 of Couch to 5k. Did the couch to 5k with very little problems. The 3:00 running sections were ...
