Did my first official at home weigh in yesterday morning and I was down .6 lbs. Not bad considering I felt like I was struggling this week. I was focused, but then I allowed myself to indulge. Made Nestles Choc Chip cookies - Easter edition with the extra white choc chips.... ate dough and then 4 cookies last Sunday. And then I had more Monday night. Pizza Tuesday - 2 big slices. And then chowed on sugared Chex Mix on Thursday.. OMG it was good! But I cannot eat like this! Sugar is evil! What the heck was I thinking! Every day was high carb... not a low carb in site! I did manage to get 4 workouts in including weights on Thursday. Time to real it back in! This is what I like about regular weigh ins - gets you back on track and stops the binge that could last for weeks!
Saw a great movie this week! Joe Cross's 'Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead'. He documents his 60 day juice fast as he drives across the US interviewing overweight Americans. He even convinces a couple of folks to give it a try. He coined the phrase
Freebasing Mother Nature. I did not want to go out and buy an expensive juicer, so I went to a thrift store in Scottsdale and picked one up for $10. It actually turned out to be a pretty good one - made in Germany. Quality stuff. It was clean too! Someone took care of this before me. I went to Joe's website
http://www.rebootwithjoe.com/rebooting/ to pick a recipe and now I am hooked! Here is what I had this morning
1 cucumber
1 cup cale
1 cup baby spinach
2 granny smith apples
1 celery stalk
It may not look appetizing, but it is tasty and full of nutrients! I am adding this to my daily breakfast routine.
Hi there! I found you on the Runs for Cookies blog list. I just watched Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead over the weekend, and my fiance and I have joined the juicing craze. We're both looking to drop a couple more pounds before our wedding in April, and Joe really inspired us. How's it going for you thus far?
ReplyDeleteHi StephieG,
ReplyDeleteNo weightloss so far, but that's because I've been eating junk! BUT, I'm into this juice thing and I am seriously considering doing a 3-5 day juice fast in April. I drink the green juice in the morning and I can feel the energy it gives. It just drives my husband nuts because of the noise it makes at 5am when he is still in bed.
Congrats on your wedding in April! We were married on 4/16 - 19 years ago! Great month to get married! Best of Luck!
