Welcome!

I have boldly decided to embark on a Juice Fast journey with my trusty Jack LaLanne juicer. Instead of verbally highlighting my everyday progress (or regress, let's hope not) to all my loved ones. Here lies a journal that will chronicle my everyday struggles and triumphs. Be inspired... or not.

Day 4 - 1 lb Gained

I was so afraid to weigh myself today after yesterday's Easter feasts. The outcome isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be because I thought I did some major damage yesterday.

Drinking juice all day wasn't very challenging because I did my best to stay away from places with the enticing aroma of food. It also helped that I was in school all day to occupy my mind. Except... when I had my last class. One presentation done was a food demo. Before I knew it, I had an empty cup and a candy wrapper sitting on my desk. I didn't realize that I was fasting until I was staring at the garbage on my desk. "SH*T!" is what resonated through my mind. I was doing so well, too! It's okay. It wasn't like it was yesterday's meals.

On the way home, I brought my partner in crime to Costco so she could buy herself a juicer and thank goodness there weren't any samples! 

We made some fruit juice for dinner tonight as a treat.


The juice had cantaloup, strawberries, mango, carrot and lemon but it was mostly comprised of cantaloup and it wasn't very sweet so I added a couple of golden delicious apples. It was delicious.If you need a little sweetness, add some apples!

Makes about half a gallon
1 cantaloup
6 strawberries
1 mango
1 carrot
1/2 lemon
2 golden delicious apples

As the day comes to a close, I am just glad I made it through another day.
