Juice Feast-Day 63 & 64 Recap

Yesterday-Day 63
Surviving the I Do's
I survived just fine. In fact, it was no problem at all. The wedding wasn't until 6 pm, so I had enough time to consume 50 oz of green juices before I even got there. That, coupled with the fact that I brought 1 quart of Apple/Kiwi and 1 quart of Watermelon/Cherry for the reception and dance, really saved me (for some reason the fruit juice seems to make things easier for me when I'm around people who are drinking). I never once wanted food, despite the most beautiful buffet of gourmet SAD food you could imagine (the only raw thing was sushi).

By the end of the dance I was starting to feel overstimulated, but I managed to hang in there until 2:30 AM. I traded in my heels for a pair of flip-flops mid way through the evening and got some good exercise out on the dance floor, too.
Today-Day 64
Weight Loss Update

Today I slept in late, which was divine. I think yesterday's events took more energy out of me than I probably realized. Seeing as to how I got such a late start to my juicing day, I only managed 1/2 gallon of green juice today, along with some water (plus my normal supplements). It felt like the right amount. That is, until Diners, Drive-Ups, and Dives came on the Food Network (yes, I continue to torture myself. I can't help it. I'm forever linked to the hospitality industry :)

Anyway...I also stepped on the scale again this morning (my Sunday morning ritual as soon as my feet hit the floor-and after I pee). I really didn't expect to release any weight this week, but I was down another three pounds. That's a total of loss of 38 lbs in 64 days, which works out to be a little more than 1/2 lb per day. Pretty amazing to still be releasing so much weight this far into my feast. You won't hear any complaints here! My starting weight was 188 lbs. My current weight is now 150 lbs. I'm definitely starting to round a corner physically and starting to recognize who I see in the mirror. The new improved "old" Ellen is on her way back!

Tomorrow I'm off to my parents house (across state) to help my mom out after her chemo. I'm not sure how long I'll be away from home this week, or how often I'll be able to post. Internet access is in her bedroom, which she may be confined to much of the time I'm there. I'll be bringing the Green Star with and shopping at their local organic market for juicy produce while I'm gone.
