Well day 7 and feeling great. Noticed slimming in my face, hubby has noticed my stomach getting smaller. Not hungry, but am having cravings. Hubby had a slice of pizza and I really wanted a bite, and I love bread so finding I'm craving bread, toast or crackers, something to crunch! But all in all it's been a good 7 days.
Went up to see the doctor this afternoon to get my weight and blood pressure checked. On day 1 of the fast I went up to do the same and my blood pressure 181/105 and my weight was 298.5 lbs. I was so shocked at my blood pressure that I forgot to calibrate my scale at home, so haven't checked my weight until today. Oh yes the doctor ended up giving me another pill for my blood pressure, now that makes 3, well really 4 but I hated taking the water pill. Well today my blood pressure was 120/80 EXCELLENT!!! My weight was 284.3 lbs that is a 14.2 lbs loss in just 7 days! This is what I lost in 7 days minus .0.8 lb. Looks like a lot doesn't it!
What motivation to keep doing what I'm doing with a weight loss like that! The only trouble I have had is toilet issues but they have since cleared up and cramping. But with the help of a Facebook page called Rebooting 101 - All about juicing, the folks there are so helpful. When I asked about cramps they advised to drink more water, that is essential, also Coconut Water. I knew about pickle juice being good for cramps, clears them up right away, but someone suggested Apple Cider Vinegar works well, without the extra stuff in pickle juice for those on juicing.
I thought at the beginning if I mentioned I was doing this juicing fast that everyone would think I was nuts, but I did mention to a few folks and I told them today my weight loss and blood pressure and they are so happy for me!
Will keep blogging when I get more news to tell how I'm coping...so remember in the words of Joe Cross, "Juice ON"
