Okay, last night was hard.

After drinking my 9pm almond date mixture I went to sleep full only to feel that aching gnawing hunger pain at 3am.
But when I woke 2.5 lbs lighter (I know, I know, it’s water weight) I was very pleased.
In fact I felt quite energetic.
8am-Had coffee and my Green Juice. I can see myself getting sick of this juice. I should probably get some new recipes from goodnature but I haven’t got round to it yet. I just like a varied diet!
I made it to Bootcamp (late as usual) and afterwards Warren Levi, our instructor, went around asking everyone what they plan on eating today.
When it was my turn I said “I’m Juicing” and he made me do 10 pushups. I didn’t get why he punished me for Juicing until I realized he thought I was talking about steroids. Oh well!
At 10am I was STARVING! Like in it’s yom kippur and there’s 1 hour left till I can break the fast starving. So I went to Gourmet and got the foods I am allowed on this diet. Broccoli, green beans, lemon and celery.

I ran home and quickly microwaved the string beans, threw on some garlic powder and pepper and they seriously tasted like heaven. It’s funny when you deprive yourself of crap the good stuff tastes amazing! I enjoyed every bite and had some of the nasty lemon drink with cayenne that I’m supposed to have with it.

12pm: Lunch. Same ole’ green drink. Yawn! But it kept me full till…

3pm: Starting to feel hungry again. Thank G-d for the Acai drink. Heading towards the hardest time of the day when the kids are home and they need to eat….

4pm: I am greeted by the smell of fresh baked cookies that my amazing housekeeper whipped up. It smells heavenly but I did not stray. Nope. Not even a bite.

But it did make me kinda cranky. My poor kids can attest.

6pm: Ahhhh…green drink again. This time I didn’t make it into soup.

8:45pm: Finally I get to taste the famous “Chunky Monkey” made with Peanut butter and bananas. Surprisingly only 1 gram of fat…I do not know how they do it.
It tastes…like Peanut butter and bananas. It’s like a thick smoothie. It’s actually really good and I can see myself drinking it even after I stop Juicing.

Now, aside from my 2.5 weight loss in one day…which real or not, feels great, I found I was much sharper today. It’s like my concentration is better. I’m more focused. I don’t know if I can attribute it to Juicing…but I definitely feel different in a good way.

Just need to get through tomorrow and I can cross Juicing off my bucket list.

Oh yeah, 6 more people (that I know of) were inspired and are going to Juice too. Pretty cool!.
