Juice Fast

fat sick nearly dead 194x300 Juice Fast   Day 1 With Kim

Day one of the juice fast was surprisingly easy! It wasn’t until day two that I really hit some mental roadblocks! For my fast I went with a more economical route. Instead of juicing my own veggies and fruit I bought the organic Naked Green Machine juice and the Odwalla Super Food juice. The larger 64 ounce containers are around $6-$8 each and I drank one per day. When I do a juice fast again, I’d go with the juicer. You can read more about that on my Day 5 post.

For more information about juice fasting, you should check out the Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead documentary. It’s available to watch on Amazon and Netflix!!

Juice Fast

Is it as obvious to you as it is to me that my give a damn was broken? Wet hair. No makeup. Eyebrows for days. And I KNEW that I’d be posting this on a blog for all the world to see. Did I care? Nope! I felt like crap, so why should I look any different?

So, after watching this video, I have a confession to make – I have become a frumpy housewife. AHHHHH!!! My poor, sweet, hot, deserves-a-wife-who-cares husband. My appearance improves as the fast progresses, so perhaps I can still redeem myself.

And here is how I felt that night after a whole day without food:

Not too bad overall…surprisingly so. The evening of day 2 was the worst! You can hear about that in my day 3 video.

weight watcher points

So, today it all starts! After being sick for three weeks with a NASTY cold I finally feel like I have energy and best yet…I can breathe!

For my weight loss I am going to try a number of methods. I am using the Weight Watchers points to keep my portions and intake under control and I am going to try to “juice” it for two of my meals for the next two weeks. Based on Kimberly’s research, I will be using the Naked Green Machine juice.

 

I ran a calculator of how many points I am allowed and my first week is 25 per day. Man that sounds like a lot until you start adding foods to it! The “GREEN MACHINE” is 3.8 points a serving.

 

One of my roadblocks during this journey is my caffeine and migraines. My body is used to caffeine so I am going to have to ween myself off it of endure some major pain, which will have me down for 1-2 days per migraine.  YEA ME!

 

points in a pepsi And The Day Starts With a Pepsi

So today, it start with a weigh in and a Pepsi. Not my usual 44 oz of Sonic Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper each morning – just a 12 oz can of Pepsi. This alone will save me $25 in soda purchases! (Of course I already did the math of savings — that’s just me, looking to save money!)

 

The weigh in today was 162 and I am only going to publish my weight each Monday morning. Hopefully we will see a difference next Monday (which is my daughter’s Sweet 16!).

 

Alright, I am sacrificing 4.5 points for the Pepsi to stave off the migraines. Let’s see how we do! (Did you notice we added a Weight Watchers calculator on the site for you to easily calculate your points?)
