I’m looking at my hands, my face, my legs, and my feet and, well really, my whole body, and I’m thinking WTF happened.  My throat hurts.  Really.  Like, in the I think I have toungue and/or throat cancer sort of way.  My hair is brittle.  My hands are crippled and wrinkley looking.  

Something is wrong.  I think I may need professional help.  I’m going to check out holistic health farms. 

I used to be pretty, healthy, and had the hands and legs of a model.  This current me is no me.

I made a new juice this morning: beet (peeled), carrots, lemon (not peeled) and a little ginger. It was a lot better than expected. 

Very messy though. 

Well days 4 and 5 were busted. Day 4 turned into a bad day with vodka. Vodka is bad.  Day 5 turned into a road trip south with sushi for dinner.  The good news is that it didn’t effect the weight loss too much as I was down 4 pounds.  

I’m really (really) tired today and after my errands I actually napped for two hours.  I don’t even have the energy to write this post. 

Today’s weight: 166

It’s not that I’m hungry so much as I crave meat and rice and a cocktail. My soup turned out ok, in fact two of my boys ate it for dinner as well (!).  I just do not do well with self deprivation. 

My results are okay so far. I was down almost 4 pounds today which is pretty awesome. 

The best part of the diet today was probably my juice this morning (?). I used 6 carrots (probably needed several more) and about   1/2 inch of ginger. It was really good!  

Also, I am really enjoying my morning walk. While I hate waking up so early, I’m finding that it is really a mood booster and is totally helping my step count. 

Today’s weight: 166.6

I spent the day pretty grumpy!  I couldn’t get any energy and was tired.  But, for some reason by 8 pm I got a second wind.  I don’t think I have really made any progress as far as weight loss is going, but I guess I do feel a little better about bloat and gross.  

Juice today was pretty good:

1 Apple

1 celery stalk

1.5 handful of greens

.5 cucumber

I also got a crock pot of veggies and spices together so I can add water and put it on to cook.

1 onion

6 carrots

10 or so celery stalks

Plus a spice blend:

1 tablespoon paprika

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1 tablespoon onion powder

1 tablespoon dried basil

2 teaspoons dried thyme

1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

1 1/2 teaspoons fine grain sea salt

I’ll add water in the morning and about an hour before eating, I will add a bunch of kale.

I’ll let you know…
