Hey guys. :) I wanted to give you an update on everything. I finished off Day 10 going strong. I lost 15 pounds in 10 days!
Here's the thing though... I decided I need to take a break from my juicing fast. Chris and I had a long talk about it. We decided its probably not the best if I hate what I'm doing. I think I should've started off with a smaller goal. I went from not juicing at all to trying to do nothing but juice for 60 days. I made it 10 days, and I'm proud of myself for that. I am a little bummed that I didn't finish. And I'm sorry if I am disappointing any of you who said I was inspiring you or encouraging you.
During those 10 days, I did learn a lot, and I most definitely established new habits! I believe I have way more willpower than when I first started. I also changed my eating habits. I have not gone back to eating crap. I have been craving things that are good for me. I broke my fast yesterday morning with a nectarine. For lunch I went to Subway and got a 6 inch turkey sandwich on honey oat bread. I made sure to get veggies on it (I got tomatoes, olives, lettuce, cucumbers, and peppers on it). And apparently my tummy has shrunk, because after half of it I was full. I ate the other half for dinner. I also haven't had any pop or coffee. And I am going to keep it that way.
I am still on my journey to be healthy. I will still juice at least once a day. I will be eating whole foods, and I am trying to avoid anything processed. Chris will be doing this with me, and I think that will make it super easy! I do almost all of the cooking anyways, and this way we will both be eating healthy. :) I also still plan on including lots of fruits and veggies in my diet. I will be taking my lunch to work almost every day as well, instead of being tempted to go out and get something that isn't very good for me.
Starting June 20th, I am joining "Chuze fitness", a gym one block down from my office. I plan on going after work. I will start off with 2-3 days a week, and I will eventually increase it to 5 days a week. I just need to be super careful to take it slow and not do anything that will cause me to injure any part of myself.
I will also be continuing blogging. I want to be able to look back at my journey to get healthy years down the road. And, I really do believe it holds me more accountable. If I find any really good recipes or anything, I'll put them on here as well.
I also plan on doing a 3 day juice fast once a month. I love the way the juice made me feel. I am a bit bummed and disappointed in myself for stopping. I know I made the right choice for me, but a part of me feels like I'm a quitter, and that I let people down.
