Juice Clenase

I am dong a juice cleanse, go me!

Day 1:
Was okay, around 3 pm I did feel slightly light headed so I had a Vega One protein powder water drink just to make me feel slightly more normal.
But other than that it as good, all the juices were fairly delicious, although sadly the one I was looking forward to the most was the one I liked the least, isn't that always the way? Well for me it is anyway.

The one part I cannot quite get my head around is, you drink a 490 ml drink every 2 hours, but if you start at 8 am that leads you to 6 pm and then just water/tea (no caffeine) from 6 pm until bedtime, which for me is a LONG time. So I start drinking at about 9 or 10 to extend when I get to drink my last juice.

Juice 1: G1, Green Juice, 180 cal
Juice 2: F1, Pumped up Kicks, 200 cal
Juice 3: The OC, 200 cal
Juice 4: Bad Boy Brown, 320 cal
Juice 5: 50 shades of green, 140 cal
Juice 6: Dirty lemonade, 90 cal

Total of 1130 calories

Day 2:
Should have drunk my first juice earlier than 10 am....ah well. I am sitting at my desk, so it is not too bad.
My fitbit is charging so there we go, ergo I cannot wear it which makes me mad.
I did start to go a bit loopy by the end of today. I thought a spaghetti squash covered in cheese and tomato sauce was a pizza, fail....ah well.

I do feel that my sleep quality has improved, which is a good thing.

Juice 5: 50 shades of green, 140 cal
Juice 6: Dirty lemonade, 90 cal

Total of 1130 calories


Day 3:
I absolutely dislike the dirty lemonade, it is awful. Sorry to anyone out there that likes it but the graininess is just not pleasant.

All in all a good 3 days. I slept like a log which for me is a huge accomplishment, so that has to be a bonus. My insides maybe don't feel as great as they could, but then again baby steps and everything will come in time.
I will probably attempt this again, but under what circumstances I do not know. I like food, and I like feeling full. But gosh do I wish I had a flat stomach. One day maybe.

I just wish I felt more like working out, that would be a bonus. One day soon maybe.

See ya chicas.

Steps

The last week was a failure when it comes to steps I was barely able to accomplish 8,000 in a day never mind 10,000. Ah well I am back on the wagon again.

I am a little disappointed FitBit has decided to remove the part of their site where you can record your measurements, and I am a little heartbroken. However, it was not developed to its fullest potential as it did not tell you if you had lost inches, so I am not overly heartbroken, but now I am on the hunt for a new inches tracker that I can put all of my old data into to make it look like I have made progress.

Any suggestions? Anyone? Really? It would be helpful. Might just do an excel, but that somehow is less fun.

Okay off to do more things.

30,000

Yesterday was the first time I did it, yes I got to 30,000 steps in a day, it felt amazing.
What felt less amazing was getting on the scale this morning and it having the reverse of the desired effect. I gained. Yes it was only two pounds but I did have a pretty lax weekend in the sense that we had people over and I ate everything in sight.

I do feel though that my lower belly is disappearing, but the inches would beg to differ.

Why can this just not be easy? I want it to be easy. I know if it were easy everyone would do it, but I just cannot figure out what else I can do.

Dress fitting tomorrow I think that is part of the problem. I do not want to look like a whale tomorrow.

Wish me luck today, and let there be light at the end of the tunnel.
