Weight Lost - GAINED 1.2lbs
Total Lost - 4.6lbs
REALLLLLLY annoyed that I gained weight again!!! SOOOOO frustrating!! Just keep tying to hop back on the horse and move along. This is harder than I thought and I am so afraid of feeling sick again like I did on Monday that I haven't gone back to 100% juicing yet. Going to keep juicing along with eating well the next few days because on Wednesday we leave for vacation and there is NO way I can exclusively juice while away. Once I get back (we'll be gone until that Sunday) I will start fresh on Monday with nothing but juicing. Hopefully then I will be 100% back on track and doing well with the weight loss.
8:00am - Sunshine in a Glass
11:00am - Soft pretzel nuggets and a few M&M's (I know, I know.......BAD me!! Movie Day Out with my daughter)
1:50pm - Naked Juice (Red Machine) and a huge salad with one egg white and homemade mustard dressing
4:00pm - Apple, string cheese and a few pretzels
6:45pm - Mixed Berries juice

Juice Fast - Day 8
Weight Lost - GAINED 2.6lbs
Total Lost - 5.8lbs
So, this totally sucks! :o( Really wasn't expecting such a gain. In the back of my mind I guess I knew that yesterday's big loss was probably due to being sick more than anything so I wasn't surprised to have gained but 2.6lbs was more than I thought it would be. I guess I just have to get back on the horse. This is so frustrating though. I hate trying to lose weight. It seems that it's always one step forward and two steps back. Very discouraging sometimes. Onward and upward I guess.
On the plus side, today was the first day since Sunday that I felt like my regular old self which was nice. Monday was so awful for me so it was good to feel better although that has seem to come at a price. My stomach also looks a little flatter and my pants fit nicer today so that made me feel good despite the weight gain. I just have to keep on keeping on with this.
8:30am - Orange/Lemon Juice and one fresh banana
10:45am - Carrots
12:00pm - Naked Juice (Green Machine)
1:45pm - Salad with homemade mustard dressing and a small, plain BBQ'ed burger
4:15pm - Carrots and a few pretzels
6:30 - Fresh cherries, string cheese, and Strawberry Patch juice
8:30pm - Cup of tea and a piece of beef jerky
**I ate food today because I wanted to make sure I felt okay all day. I was afraid I would have a relapse and because I was going to be away all day I didn't want to risk feeling really sick and then being unable to get home**
Total Lost - 5.8lbs

Juice Fast - Day 7
Weight Lost - 3.2lbs
Total Lost - 8.2lbs
Holy crap!!..............3.2lbs in one day??!!! That's INSANE!! It goes without saying that I am thrilled!!! I've never had that kind of loss in one day in my life. Makes me feel so good, like this is all worth it!
So after yesterday being such a disaster with how I was feeling I am happy to say that I was much improved today. I was a little better this morning but by late afternoon I felt like my old self. No sickness at all. I will admit, I did incorporate food into my day today because I want to get myself back to normal and feeling good so that I can juice/fast more effectively. I think I might a dire mistake when I started last week. Instead of preparing for my fast by slowly cleaning up my diet I did just the opposite...........I ate every gross food you can think as a farewell to eating bad. Such a BIG mistake! I think that without a doubt it's made my first 6 days so much harder. The food withdrawal was probably worse than it should've been had I prepared for this. Same goes for all the side effects of fasting. I went about this all wrong and I am mad at myself for that.
So my plan as of right now is to incorporate a little food into my diet but food that is healthy and nutritious. No crap. So I am thinking along the lines of salads, grilled chicken, nuts, egg whites, etc. Then I would like to go to a one day on fasting one day off plan for a while then try again for a multi day fast. I think the second time around will be easier. I expect I will be up in weight tomorrow as I added food back but I am okay with that. It doesn't mean I am back at square one and I am NOT giving up! Every path has a detour, I just need to get back on the right trail! Hoping tomorrow is a better day all around!!
8:15am - Naked Juice (Berry Machine) and one scrambled egg on one slice dry whole wheat toast
11:00am - carrots and water
12:20pm - Naked Juice (Green Machine) and a salad with homemade mustard dressing
3:00pm - handful of pretzels and an apple
6:00pm - Baked, marinated chicken breast, steamed green beans, and one ear of roasted corn on the cob with a touch of butter and lots of fresh pepper
7:50pm - Fresh cherries
Total Lost - 8.2lbs

Juice Fast - Day 6
Weight Lost - .2lbs
Total Lost - 5.2lbs
So, although any loss is a success I was pretty disappointed this morning to see only a .2 weight loss. I guess I just have to suck it up and move on and cross my fingers that tomorrow is a better day on the scale.
Unfortunately, today was also one of the WORST days I have had so far on this juice fast. I was so, so sick all day. Headaches, nausea, dizzy, tired..........awful, awful, awful. I basically felt disgusting all day, I could barely get off my couch. I had the most god awful sickening juice at about noon, that didn't help matters at all. The afternoon and all night were pretty awful. I was feeling shaky and undernourished and just so sick that I broke down today and had a little bit of food. I know, I know.........food isn't in a fast but I was sick. SO sick and I just wanted to feel better.
So around 2:30'ish I made myself one plain scrambled egg on one slice of plain whole wheat toast. After that I passed out for a while. Later in the evening I had 2 slices of dry whole wheat toast and a cup of hot tea to settle my stomach a bit. I was disappointed in myself to have to break the fast but I felt so sick it was all I could think to do to feel better. I won't let this deter me though. Hoping tomorrow is a better day! I need to go to bed.........I want today to end!!!...........NOW!!!
8:45am - Blackberry Kiwi
10:30am - Salad with homemade mustard dressing (I was feeling sick and hungry so I thought a little something in my stomach might help)
12:45pm - Vegetable 7 Juice (DISGUSTING!!! SOOOO vile!!!) and homemade baked sweet potato "fries"
2:45pm - One scrambled egg on dry toast
4:30pm - Watermelon-Cherry-Lime and a string cheese
8:15pm - 2 slices dry toast and a cup of tea
Total Lost - 5.2lbs
