And so it begins . . .
I have washed & peeled 10 lbs of carrot & 5 lbs of apples, lettuce & kale, beets. All ready to juice and stored in glass pyrex in the fridge. There isn't much else in the fridge. Or the pantry. And I told the Hubby I'd help him as much as I could. So I boxed up all the sweets and snack foods. And put them in the attic. I also told the husband for every day he did the juice fast, I would work out an hour on the elliptical. I really really don't like to exercise. He feels the same way about fasting and diets. So, since he is doing something I feel is important to his health. I will do something he feels is important to mine.
And God help us.
I did a mini-fast day today, just to start the adjustment period. I had 3 almased 1/2 shakes throughout the day and a very light lunch and dinner. And some V8 juice. I started the "whole body cleanse" supplements last night, continued them today. Also the antioxidant berry juice & green superfoods powder. blech. just plain gross. but I am determined to do this. So wish me luck.
I still have to review the 2 hour schedule from my first detox & get that posted on the fridge.
but the kids are in bed, so that's what I will do right now.
I plan to weigh myself tomorrow morning & not again until the following Monday. I am hoping to continue this through next Sunday. And then hopefully spend the next week slowly coming back to food, maintaining juice/ supplements every 2 hours. Most of the supplements are a 30 day supply. So I will be able to continue with those past the first week. And I have 50 lbs of carrots & 50 pounds of apples & a continuous supply of greens to juice. So really my will power is all that stands in my way. Rather, my lack of willpower.
