Week 1 weigh in!

Ok so after 1 straight week of the juice fast, tailoring it to fit my schedule and preferences here's my weight...

On the night of Day 1(September 22nd) I was 164.2lbs so I've lost 7.6lbs since the I started the juice fast and 11.1lbs total since September 12th.

For the next week I'm going to continue the fast but since I'm now close to my original goal weight of 155lbs I'm going to incorporate some light exercise into my daily routine, every other day. I'm also going to start adding salads into my meals for the day, unless I don't want one that day.

For an ab workout I found one that is effective and fairly easy to do.

8 minute abs

I also like this one because she's super fun.

I'll be posting what workout I did for the day!

Onto week 2!

Day 1. The beginning!

I decided to start juicing to drop some unwanted weight and to clear up my problem skin.

I purchased my Black & Decker juicer for around $43 after tax from Macy's.

It works very well, my only complaint would be the small chute. It makes it a little time consuming because you can't put too many fruits or vegetables in at once. It's a minor inconvenience.

My weight as of September 12th was 167.7lbs. I was weighed at my doctor's office. I started prepping for the juicing fast 2 days before I started, which was September 22nd. I shopped at my local Giant and spent $68. I recommend going to a Produce Junction or somewhere fruit and vegetable are sold in bulk to save some money.

I drink all my juices over ice! 

Day 1: September 22
Breakfast: The Red Racer
1 cup raspberries
1 cup strawberries
2 oranges
2 apples

This juice was delicious!

Lunch: The Green Carrot

1 cup spinach

1/2 cucumber

2 stalks celery (with leaves)

3 carrots

1/2 apple

This wasn't too tasty but it was tolerable.

Dinner: Apple Green Grape

3 Granny Smith Apples

1 cup seedless grapes

1 thin wedge lemon peeled

I took this juice to work with me so I had it bottled in a container. If ever you need to juice-to-go make sure it's refrigerated until you're ready to drink in a tight sealed container.

I didn't get to weigh myself the morning of the first day but that night I weighed in at 164.2lbs. So I'll use this weight as my starting weight. Guess I'd already lost a few pounds since I'd visited the doctor. I'll weigh in the morning after day 7!

Day 1 DONE!

xoxo Mickey.
