Juice Feast Day 4
Yesterday was interesting. I had my watermelon juice while driving to NJ in the morning. Gave me a really good energy boost. Went to see mom in the hospital and she's doing better. Then drove back around 11:30 or so and started getting really sleepy also my mouth was a little dry. I didn't have any more juice with me or any water and decided to tough it out until I could get home an make a fresh batch of the elixer. Made a carrot, apple, pear, cucumber drink. Was pretty good. Yielded about 28 ozs. It was enough to hold me over until I get back home. Felt good went in to work and strength and energy levels were fine.
Came back home about 8pm from work and decided to fast for the rest of the night. So i drank about 16 ozs of water and went to sleep. Got up about 2-times through the night to go to the bathroom which I think means that my body has released a good amount of the excess water that it was holding onto. Brain feels clear and I'm ready to take on the day.
Funny thing, I had a biggest loser moment this morning on the scale. When I stepped onto the scale it seemed to take forever to calculate. I thought I was going to go to a commercial. Of course I was expecting a loss 3 pounds or better. I had a picture of my previous weight 251 in my head. As the scale finally stopped it said 249. And I had that dumb look on my face like, what happened? And I looked out at Jillian and Bob and shook my head. Everyone was shocked. I was imagining myself on stage explaining how hard I worked and that I was disappointed at the small loss. Then I heard Jillian say 2lbs in a day what are you crazy get over it. I was actually disappointed that I only lost 2 lbs in a day. Go figure. Then I just laughed at myself. Seriously, while this isn't mainly about weight loss (it's a fortunate byproduct of doing this) for me I am recording my weight and sharing it because it is one of the better measurable results of this program. Higher on the priority list, is cleaning and detoxing my system, getting it weaned off of the dead cooked foods, disciplining myself and retraining my mind not to want the junk foods.
