Yesterday was actually easier! I met a friend at Starbucks after work and enjoyed an unsweetened passion tea and since Starbucks serves very little food, I chose a seat where the view to the food was blocked and really didn’t think about it at all! And I drank more during the day today, so I really wasn’t very hungry most of the day.
The night was still challenging, but better than last night! And….I have a cheat meal coming up. Friday night. I had planned a dinner with friends before I decided to start juicing and we have been wanting to try this restaurant for months. Honestly, I don’t know how to feel about the meal. Part of me is ecstatic to eat again (REALLY good food at that!) and part of me feels like a cheater…which very well may be related to the fact that I’m, well, cheating. Blerg. (I don’t know. It seemed like an appropriate sound).
On the up side, I decided to take a chance and added some carrots into my drinks for today! I’ve been vary wary of the vegetables so far and am trying to ease my way into them, but it’s all a mental game for me. When I was drinking my breakfast juice, I totally forgot there was carrot in there and loved it, then remembered and it didn’t taste quite as good anymore. But that means there’s hope for me yet! It just means I need to get better at tricking myself….
The Menu –
Last night’s dinner: 2 cups of watermelon and one orange juice and some Bolthouse Farms Amazing Mango Juice
Breakfast: 4 cups of watermelon, 2 oranges, and 2 carrots juice
Lunch: 4 cups of watermelon, 2 oranges, and 2 carrots juice
Weight Loss Since Yesterday: -0.2 pounds
Weight Loss Since Day 1: -0.7 pounds
Mood: Excited that it’s Thursday! I keep expecting to feel more tired from living on juice alone, but I really don’t! I slept well last night and feel quite energized this morning (which is a pretty big deal for me…I am not a morning person).
See how the rest of the juicing experiment went:
