Juice Feast-Day 29

The Start of Week Five

Happy Father's Day fathers! I so *heart* my Dad!

Today is day twenty-nine for me, which brings me to the start of another new week (#5) on my feasting journey. The start of each new week also means a weigh-in.

Here are my numbers so far...

Starting weight: 188

End of week 1: 177 (-11 lbs)

End of week 2: 174 (-4 lbs)

End of week 3: 170 (-4 lbs)

End of week 4: 166 (-4 lbs)

Total weight loss so far = 22 lbs. Not too shabby!

It seems like a weight release of 4 lbs per week (1/2 lb per day) is still holding true. I hope I can keep that up. That would put me somewhere in the 130 lb range by the end of this feast-about 10 to 15 lbs shy of where I would like to bottom out. I'm going to start adding in some weights and cardio tomorrow. Should be interesting to see what happens after upping my calorie output.

Comments: I'm thrilled to down another 4 lbs this week! I'm trying a new tactic today-setting my cell phone alarm for every two hours. Hopefully spacing things out a bit more will really help keep my metabolism humming. Happy to have more juice today to amp up reserves for some heavier exercise tomorrow :)

Tomorrow feels like an important day. I'm nearly 1/3 of the way there!! :)
