Last Prep day before the juice fast!

Yesterday was interesting, i did not post a blog. I went to bed early but made a mental list of what I ate. here goes:

Weight: 159
Breakfast: Apple, coffee decaf
snack: 2 plums
lunch: cucumber, 2 mushrooms
snack: 3 celery sticks, 2 whole carrots
dinner: 6 cherry tomoatoes, 3 mushrooms, olive oil, garlic, parsley, oragano, basil, 1 green pepper...all raw of course....
bedtime: sleepy time tea

Like I said, interesting... went to gym to work out, dropped off kids in child care and noticed that I forgot my tennis shoes. I still had flip flops on. I decided I could at least do abs class. That was nice. My feet and but up in the air with a big whole in my but crack of my pants. About the size of a quarter. Wouldn't have been so bad if I had black underwear on to blend with the black lycra pants. NOPE! Had tan underwear. TACKY! I had a hard time focusing and consentrating. I went to the last soccer game of Logan's (made half of the team goals....they only made a total of two of course, but none the less...he ROCKS) on the way home I went to the downtown Winter Garden Farmers Market and bought a stroller full of bags of produce. It was fun to watch peoples faces when they saw all the food. They would comment. I just agreed and didn't go into explanation. I am not ready for any suggestions, comments, raised eye brows, ect... I am just too overwhelmed and tired to explain the fast. Tired is the main thing. My attitude stinks right now.

BUt, today is a new day, right GOD? Sunday morning..JOnathan is fixing pannycakes for the family. I am staying out of the kitchen. I see my mound of whole foods up on the counter from here. It's kinda funny. Ava sneaks into my stash and wants to take the fruit. I am pretty possessive of my food cause i don't want to go through it too fast. I hate grocery shopping!

How do I feel? Not too incredibly hungry, but really could eat something now. Pancakes a cookin'! So I feel a bit encouraged this morning. Jonathan woundered if I was going to be cranky the whole time? I had to encourage him and that was hard. But the cycle starts there. He was kind to rub my head this morning. I continually have head aches. I have a bit of sinus pressure with a slight cold. I am congested and achy muscles...probably not from the diet, it's the ab core class, I am certain! My biles are pretty runny. Looks like swollen grape nuts! YUK! I have a rash from going so often. Must be acidic. Now I have to digure what to change to change the PH balance of my biles. OUCH! Goldbond might be helpful. Looking forward to big day with family after church. Abbey's bday! I will document EVERYTHING I ate of course.

Weight: 158
Breakfast: Pear, plum
snack: plum
Lunch: Broccoli, 2 tomatoe slices, 3 mushrooms, 2 carrots, 1/2 cucumber, 1/4 onion
snack: potato, pear, 1/2 tbs mayo, 1 tbs olive oil, 1 tbs. balsamic vinegar
Dinner: my first real vegetable juice! 4 Carrots, 2 celery sticks, 1 apple, 1/2 cucumber
Took my Vitamins!!
bedtime: sleepy time tea

Prep Day 2- Juice Fast

Last night I had intense dreams. Jonathan had to wake me up. A friend's husband and children were brutally murdered. It was aweful! I rarely have such intense dreams to the point of crying in my sleep. I think that I am worrying. My mind is spinning with the whole diet change, the preperations of it, the kids last week of school, the banking, business, house, family, ect... I plan on starting a more regular workout routine. So far, I only have been working out 2x per week. Starting next week it will be 3, then the following 4x per week.

My bowels are pretty loose and very regular! Woke up twice to go last night! Very sore muscles, but I think that it is from the hard muscle training on Wednesday that I did at the YMCA. I exercised at gym for 45 minutes. Here is my diet today:

Weight: 160

breakfast: apple, vitamins, decaf coffee

TOOK VITAMINS!!

snack: nectarine, plum

lunch: spinach, 2 mushrooms, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, sunflower seeds, 5 cherry tomoatoes, mango

TOOK VITAMINS!

snack: plum, green beans with vinegar

dinner: spinach salad, green beans, mushrooms, corn, 5 cherry tomatoes, sunflower seeds

Reading Bible tonight. God knows all that I'm up against and knows where I am at right now. Thank you God for being so present. Stay near and guard my mind to rid these dreams and thoughts that are so wrong and negative. Protect my loved ones and don't give up on me, please. I know you won't!

Hunker Down- Prep day 1

So today is the first day that I felt was important to document. I am starting the fast on June 1st... (next monday). Suppose I should start eating all raw fruits and veggies a ffew days before to help with the shocker factor. My beginning weight... a wopping 161 pounds! I figure I will do this the simple way. I will document morning weight daily, how I feel, energy levels, any changes that I notice in skin, hair appearence, ect.. and most inportantly document my jiucing so that i know what I am taking in and somebodies got to keep me accountable since I am on my own with this one. Here goes:

Weight: 161
Breakfast: raw spinach, oil, pepper, sunflower seeds, 1 red pepper, 2 small tomatoes,
snack: half of cantelope
lunch: apple, can pinapple in own juices
snack: 1/4 cantelope
