Fast Over - Family Sick - Fun long weekend

So my thoughts on the Juice Fast.   Not bad!  I know my wife didn't mind the juice but hated being hungry at night.  She did have to eat some food because we have all been sick at home and she had a prescription to take that required food.   I honestly don't think the fast was all that bad.  My daughter kept asking if i was hungry or wanted to share some of her food and I wasn't hungry at all.  

I am thankful i didn't have what some others experienced from other blogs like bloating, upset stomach, and other grosser things like diarrhea or halitosis.   My wife did tell me i had bad breath even after I would brush my teeth and after drinking my juice, i wanted to brush my teeth because i had a weird feeling on my teeth but other than that I'm happy to report that it was a success.  

Friday - 3 juices

Saturday - 2 Juices (breakfast & dinner)

Sunday - 3 juices

I'm lost 4.5 lbs over the weekend and 6.2 total Inches overall.   The biggest loss for me was in my thigh measurements where I lost 2.8" next biggest losing is 1.5" in my waist.  I'm pretty stoked about these results.  My wife lost some inches overall as well and some weight (which i have been threaten to secrecy) and I do value my life!

My wife and I have decided to do replace 1 if not 2 meals a day with juice and trying to do at least 4-7 juices a week.  This is harder for me because you want to drink you juice within a few hours of making it and I go to work at 6:30 in the morning.  I think everyone in the house would be much happier if i don't run juicer at that time, but there's only one way to find out!  

I'm happy to report that my brother and I both held up to our end of the bet but i think it was much more difficult for my brother because he continued his Ironman training while only doing juice so his calorie burn vs calorie intake was a lot different than mine.

Next juicing challenge might be a 7 or 10 day but until that day, i'm happy to be back in the land of eating food!

I do find this funny but Saturday morning I decided to start watching Man V. Food Nation to try to reprogram my brain into not wanting food just because I see food.   I think it helped a little bit, and thankfully it didn't make me crave food at all.

Day 3 of Juice Fast

10:15am post
Woke up hungry today finally.  I made an extra large juice with extra fruit in it.   It was so tasty.  I didn't realize how much the different fruit changes the taste.

Day 2 of juice Fast.....was Hell

First off the juice fast was fine.  Still not hungry. Stated off with breakfast juice and then spent day dropping car off at dealership, going to 4 urgent cares 3 were closed, spending 2 hours in urgent care with my wife to get no diagnosis, city market (where we got the same amount of fruit for 7.50 as we did at grocery store for $35.  

Then to home to take care of my daughter who didn't take a nap and my sick wife.

Hopefully Sunday is better

Day 1 of Juice Detox Complete

To be honest I feel like i should be craving food but I'm not.   I had my breakfast juice this morning and around lunch i want hungry but made juice when my wife made hers.  I drank it and have felt content all day.  

I have had a carb headache this evening but decided to make a tart dinner juice because I'm not craving anything to eat and have absolutly no hungry pains.....thank you Lord!

Dinner juice:

2 lemons

1 orange

1 apple

2 celery stalks

1 carrot 

Handful of Broccoli 

3 handfuls of spinach 

Day 0 of diet.......No Beuno

Juicer will be here tomorrow and the store we went to was sold out so i didn't get one today.   We decided to do the much recommended day transition before juice fast.   We are on our way to buy all supplies for juice fast.   Ill update later with a photo of our take at store.

Updated jan 1st at night
So finally got a juicer but going shopping for organic food is difficult when the places I planed on going are closed for New Year's Day. 

Took on a Gentlemens Bet with brother about being on a 3 day fast. Loser gets to slap the other anytime without warning.
I won't be losing this bet and im assuming he won't either.

Tomorrow will be 1st day of juice only
