Juice Feast Day 2-4

Day 2 was brutal.  I'm not sure if it was the toxins releasing, or a massive caffeine headache - either way - I had a massive headache that put me to bed by 5pm that night.

Day 3 was spent on an airplane, luckily I found a place inside the airport that sold Naked juices, so I bought 4 - 8 oz for the trip - they lasted good and kept me from being hungry on the plane.

When we got home though I was able to go grocery shopping so today has been mostly fresh juices.  Spinach / Tangarine, and some spicy V8 Juice (just to mix things up a bit) (Oh - and my treat - hot veggie broth)

While I'm trying to lose weight, I am trying to stay away from the scale until next weekend (we said we'd weigh in once every 2 weeks)

I do want to say also, my intake of water is astonomical now - I have a tendency to drink a lot of liquids on a normal basis, so being on this regime only makes me drink more - because I have to have some type of liquid next to me at all times.

Juice Feast Day1

I went through an entire 30 day juice feast a few months ago, and ended up losing 20lbs on the juice feast, and another 25 pounds after that.

Recently I've regressed a little and started eating chips & Pizza again and drinking around a 12 pack of soda per day, and ended up gaining back 15lbs.  So - starting today, the first day of lent I'm going back on a juice feast for the next 40 days.  It's a GREAT way to eliminate bad habits and get back on track again.

I travel A LOT for business, so during my business trips my best options are Bolthouse farms smoothies and juices (and yes I realize a smoothie isn't the same as a juicing, however it's the best I can do while I'm on the road) and when I get back home I'll juice exclusively :)

I'm excited, and I'll really try to be diligent on keeping up with my blog this go around.

5:00 am - woke up - had Bolthouse Strawberry Banana 120 *2 cal
6 am - 10 am - drank 2 cups of Tazo (decaf) fruit tea - one hot, one on ice (something not many people talk about but I've had 3 BMs this morning) no calories

8 am - Bolthouse Green Goddess - 140 cal *2

10:40am - Bolthouse Carrot - 70 cal *2 (I don't recall drinking this much when I did this before, but either I'm really hungry, or I've been depriving my body of important nutrients which it now wants a LOT of)  I also forgot how much energy you can get from 100% Carrot juice

12:58pm - Bolthouse Green Goddess  - 140 cal *2
