Well pleasantly surprised in how I feel, they said the first 3 days would be the hardest, actually they have been fine for me. Yeah Me! My husband came to me and said the past 3 days you seem happier. Well I feel good, not hungry, and I'm working toward something.
The thing is about 13 years ago I had an operation on my stomach where they put a ring around the entrance to my stomach and there is so much I can't eat, and frankly I eat the same thing over and over again. So deciding to do this juicing fast wasn't hard, eating the same things and not healthy things didn't give me anything to look forward to in the food department.
This was me before the operation on the left, I lost 70 lbs from the operation, the other 80 lbs I lost on my own to get to the right side picture, a loss of 150 lbs.
This is me today, 80 lbs heavier
Then there is beer, I love beer, and I know the amount of food I eat hasn't lead me to gain 80 lbs since moving to Newfoundland, it's been the beer! So I stopped drinking it a couple of weeks before starting my juicing fast, and I'm fine with that.
So things are good. The grocery store in town was able to get me some kale, been using spinach in place of kale and had my first drink with it today and was surprised it didn't have as strong a taste as I thought it might have. Got myself some parsley, mint, so looking forward to using them. Tomorrow we are going to Grand Falls to the larger grocery stores and try to get some of the things the store in town can't get in for me.
Eventually I'd like to get my husband to juice a few meals, so been letting him try all of the juices and he really likes the taste. Hopefully if sees a change in me he might be willing to try it as well.
Well it's late and that's about all that happened today so I'll close off now...
Juice on...
