Well, I've been eating healthy and juicing for about a week and a half and it seems to be working. If my scale is anywhere near my doctor's, I've lost 10 pounds so far! This morning, I had lost three inches off my belly and I didn't have to wear a sweater over my shirt because it hung down enough! Fuck yeah!
Tomorrow I'm going in for an MRI and I'm really nervous about it. I'm trying to channel my anxiety into something productive (like this blog....) instead of eating. I don't think I'm going to talk about food and what I would like to do to it right now because then I'll keep thinking about it and then eventually do it.
Maybe I'll make some crab salad. I have imitation crab, plain yogurt and green onions and seasonings, so i don't need any ingredients. I think I have some chicken in there as well to make chicken salad. If use plain yogurt as well as some vegenaise, it'll be a lot healthier. As long as I have onion powder and garlic salt, it'll be good. :)

Cheater cheater burger eater!
Yup, I said it. I'm on day 3 and today I ate a cheeseburger. A junior cheeseburger from Wendy's on their 99¢ menu. It was 350 calories of GLORIOUSNESS with 19 grams of fat and worth every one of those 27 carbs. As was the junior frosty that came free with the keytag. Mmmmm. Froooooostyyyy.
Other than my insane craving, I've been doing pretty good. Our fridge is full of spinach, apples, carrots, grapes, oranges, tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, etc... At work, I've been eating salads with balsalmic vinegar and last night for dinner i had a baked potato.
I still get really hungry at times; I don't think I'm drinking enough water, which is ironic because I've been peeing like a racehorse. I've been sleeping really well... almost TOO well. I don't want to get out of bed in the morning because I'm so freaking comfortable.
I'm just hoping that I'll get some damn energy so I can get off my ass and start working out here pretty soon, because I haven't lost a fucking pound or an inch so far....
Ugh! I haven't reached my goal in 3 days!! I should quit!

I'M SO HUNGRY!!!
Ugh, day one of juicing.
I'm freaking starving. You know how people will say, "Oh, the first couple days are the hardest, it gets better?" Well, I want to cut them with a machete, pour salt on it and then say, "Oh, the first couple of days are the hardest. It'll get better." Even Joe, the guy from "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" said, "The first couple of days are the worst. You don't want to be around people, you don't want to be around food."
For the first few days, I'll be juicing as well as eating mostly plant based foods. Breakfast was a juice made from: kale, spinach, cucumber, an apple, and some grapes (I think.... sounds about right....) For lunch and a snack, I took a couple of mason jars with: kale, spinach, carrot, celery, an orange, a lime, an apple and a couple of small radishes.
Breakfast wasn't too bad. Had a hint of sweetness and I really like cucumber, so it was refreshing. The other one is a TOTALLY different story. I have discovered I'm REALLY not a fan of celery. I put two stalks in with my juice and it was completely overpowering... and gross. Well, I thought so. I managed to have one and gave the other to my coworker Kara.
I also had a banana, a salad for lunch, some fruit and came home and had a tomato cucumber salad with a couple of imitation crab sticks.
Did I mention I'M SO HUNGRY! And I'm so tired. My brain is gone and I'm pretty sure I'm not making any sense at the moment.....

Tomorrow
Ugh, tomorrow starts the juice fast. I have a fridge full of apples, oranges, carrots, celery, kale, radishes, cucumbers, tomatoes, pineapple, grapes, spinach and oranges. I've eaten my last western bacon cheeseburger with zucchini and drank my last bottle of champagne for awhile (well, almost... i'm on the last glass right now...)
At this point, I'm nervous, excited and trying not to be hungry just thinking about it. But I'm also looking forward to feeling better. They say that 30% of your body's energy goes to digesting, so since I'm taking some of the work out of it, hopefully it will work in y favor to get my fat ass out of bed and start DOING something.
