Calling it.

It's been fun and it's probably helped. But work has been hell and I can't deprive myself all weekend too, just to head into another week of that.

Besides weight loss, I haven't seen any physical changes (can't even see the weight loss,) and didn't notice any increased energy either. Only my coffee will do that, I guess.

Hasta la vista, juicers! Here's to making better food choices from here on out... But I need just that. Food.

Lost some weight!!

Down about 8 pounds this week, I'm almost pretty sure. My start weight is guesstimated, because I have trouble writing it down anywhere when it's so high.

Regardless, I weighed myself on Tuesday, so since then, I'm down four pounds.

Day 5

I'm switching to oatmeal for my breakfast. Still made a juice for lunch and will drink one again for dinner.

I've been too rushed in the morning to make two juices. For whatever reason, I've felt like I've needed more sleep all week. Maybe it's not drinking coffee.

Also, I'm nearing the end of my produce supply. And I want to eat Easter dinner on Sunday, so I'd better introduce some real food slowly before I go to town on those sides. So what better to start with than that beautiful breakfast food that straddles solid an liquid- oatmeal.

Final weigh in is going to be tonight around 6 or 7 on the scale at work. Then tomorrow, I'll eat a mix of juices, oatmeal and salad. Sunday, I'll do juices for everything but my mom's cooking. Then I suppose another weigh-in, but it will be on a different scale.

Day four down.

I must confess that I snuck about five peanuts. Lol

But yeah. Just kept swimming today.

Just what I needed.

Dinner tonight is a cucumber, about four leaves of kale, two stalks of celery, two handfuls of spinach, two apples, half a lime and a half inch of ginger root! I can't believe it, I modified a recipe from Dr Oz and I love it. Just what I needed after such a weak moment. I just shut up my brain and did it, told myself it was mandatory, and feel a lot better with something in my belly.

I really do think I go too long between "meals" at work. The only way to correct that is to make THREE juices in the morning. Having enough trouble with two.

In related news (trouble,) my cat Jonsey has been faaaar too interested in this endeavor of mine. He will snatch spinach and celery leaves when I'm not looking.

Feeling low and deprived.

I'm tired. Work has been hell. I'm sitting here, stewing about the fact that I told myself not to eat food or drink alcohol this week. I want to cry. Stress levels are way too high and I typically don't feel as stressed as other people, I don't think.

I'm sick of juicing. I'm sick of trying to find a recipe or make one up, and the whole process. If I thought this was going to be easier than cooking, I was forgetting that watching something actually heat up was only a small part of it. As far as washing, prep, cleaning up waste and washing the dishes go, I'm doing that more than ever.

Okay, pep talk time.

The "whole process" thing, I'm just gonna have to get used to. Especially if I want to eat veggie and much better than I do now. I'll consider this an "intro" to cooking prep, so it won't be so much of a shock to actually prep some food before I cook it, right? Then I can focus on my worries about the actual cooking.

Also, I have accountability. I have virtually no other food I can eat. I have a fridge full of fruits and veggies. I have this blog, and whoever may actually pay attention to it.

I keep telling myself that it's day three, it's Wednesday, I just need to get over it and keep on... I'm probably not seeing it feeling any results yet because I was so nutritionally jacked up in the first place. It'll take a few more days, right?

I really want those peanuts I have in my cupboard though.
