So far, so good. Days 6, 7, and 8 were a challenge. Felt tired and low in energy, but thanks to my trainer, she's bern guiding me through this. So everything has been going good up until this point. Right now I'm fighting off something. I woke up with a headache and sore throat. Gonna juice some oranges today and keep drinking a lot of water. Let's see if I can shake it. As far as weight goes, I'm down by 20lbs. Yaaaay! 10 days, 20lbs.

Day 5 & 6
Day 5 (334lbs) - Moving along so far so good.
Day 6 (331lbs) - Was my hardest day ever. I went to work jumping and playing and about died. I didn't have any energy! I came home and slept the rest of the evening away. Blended: Pineapple, Mango, grapes and spinach.

Day 3 & 4
Day 3 - 5/21 (338lbs) - Okay, still haven't given up! This time I juiced instead of blending, carrots, celery, banana and apple. Oooohhh, if I'm not used to it I make a face like a baby tasting something sour for the first time. Well, I survived drinking that, but I'm going back to blending. I like it better.
Day 4 - 5/22 (334lbs) Bam! Seeing results on the scale already! Sent a text to my trainer, "Holy Shit Balls Batman! Is this for real?" Even sent her a picture for proof. : D Not gonna lie, even it's day four, it's still a challenge. I have to say though, I'm starting to feel a little better. My blending: spinach, apple and banana.
Alright, stay tuned for Day 5 & 6.

Day 1 & 2...
...have been quite the challenge for sure. Let me start off with a little background of myself. All through my youth I've struggled with my weight. Due to personal situations and bad eating habits, it wasn't until after high school when I put on most of the weight. Towards my mid twenties, I realized I needed to change. I wanted to be healthy and gain more confidence in how I look. It wasn't until just recently (July of last year) that I met a wonderful individual who has been helping me through this hard process of dropping those pounds. Not only is she my trainer, but she has become a wonderful friend and mentor. When I first met her, I weighed in at 360lbs. With her help, I was able to drop ten pounds until I had a medical situation come up, which limited me from doing any physical activity for a few months. :( My friend didn't give up on me, she continued to motivate me and find other ways to help hold on until I could train with her. The day the doctor gave me the clearance to start working out again, it was like..."Yipee!!! Game on!"
So here we are, I jump back in and start all over again. My weight this time? 370lbs. O_O Not good. But it was okay, my friend reassured me that we'll start taking it step-by-step, day-by-day. With her help, I was able to get down to 345lbs before the start of my new challenge.
So now I begin the journey of this possible 25-30 day juicing/blending challenge of nothing but fruits and veggies.
Day 1 - 5/19 (345lbs) - Yeah, I was dying! Absolutely dying. My body was like, "Girl, wtf are you doing to us?" :) I started blending what I had on hand until I could go shopping the next day. So, with the NutriBullet, I blended up spinach, bananas, mango and peaches. I had that throughout the day until it was time to go to bed. It really is a mental challenge. I have to constantly tell myself, "I can do this. I got this!"
Day 2 - 5/20 (342lbs) - After a fun day of swimming (training) with my friend, I went straight to the store to buy all sorts of fun and color fruits and veggies. With a list of concoctions I can make (given to me from my trainer), I just put together a quick carrots, apples and banana mix and drank that throughout the day. When I was work, I brought my container filled with juice. Let me tell you, it's hard to work at a kids party place when pizza and cake come in and out all day. Very challenging. At one point, I had to make sure that we had the correct order of pizza come in for a party. In doing so, I opened the bag it was in and got a good smell of CARBS. OMG, that was the worst hunger pain I felt. Hahaha, I counted my boxes and left quickly.
So far, the start is slow, but good. Let's see what happens on day 3 & 4 shall we? :) Stay tuned!
