Juice Feast-Day 15

Oh, Sparkly Happy Day!
Week Three Is Underway...

Today was a cakewalk my feasty friends! After regaining my resolve yesterday, I'm happy to report that day 15 flew by without a hitch. Everything went so perfectly that the entire day barely made a blip on my juice feasting radar.

Finally, finally, finally, I was able to make some decent tasting green juice today! The past three days I've managed to concoct three batches of the most horrible green liquid known to mankind! Ugh! Some REALLY awful stuff! I did choke most it down (doing juice shooters), but it wasn't been easy.

Today, however, my greens were D-lish! For me, it's really all about throwing something in at the end to mask the taste and smell. Long live the jalapeno pepper!

Weight Loss Update

I promised myself I would only weigh-in during the start of each week, so here's an update:

Week 1 weight loss: 11 lbs

Week 2 weight loss: 4 lbs

Starting weight: 188 lbs/Current weight: 174 lbs

That's 14 lbs in the first 14 days. Feels great!!!! Most of the first week was probably water weight, but even so, my body feels terrific not having to carry it! I'm curious to see how this goes in the coming weeks now that I've settled into a juicy routine.

----------------------

Sleep & Dreams: 6 hours of very disrupted sleep (pets :) Had a dream about Jon Bon Jovi (can't remember the plot), followed by a dream where I was attending some kind of raw food class. I saw Matt Monarch there so the speaker must have been pretty good. LOL!

Exercise: 1 mile hike with poochie

Energy: Great energy all day-mentally and physically

Physical Observations: Lost another 4 lbs this past week. My tongue is also sporting a nice thin white stripe down the middle. Skin is looking good-smooth and glowing-although I'm still sporting 1 or 2 pretty good sized zits.
