So our juice fast was broken on Friday. Life on the weekends is just too crazy for us – and we discovered a leak under our sink (behind the wall). Friday night was an art exhibit opening and a birthday party. Saturday was helping a friend move and a housewarming party. And Sunday was church and a cookout. We weren’t home much, and when we were we tried to avoid the kitchen. Cleaning juicer parts (and all of the rest of our dishes in the bathroom really sucks!
We are back in the saddle again with the juicing today. I think I’ve got the cleaning-dishes-in-the-bathroom thing down. And life is back on a normal schedule with school and work.
This morning I am having a carrot and cantaloupe juice. 4 carrots and then enough cantaloupe to fill up by glass. Easy peasy. And I cleaned the juicer before sitting down to my drink so I have nothing to dread when I get up from the computer.
Last Monday I weighed 144 pounds. Today I weigh 138. No bad.
Viva el jugo!!
Raine, I am impressed with your vulnerability, willing to tell of your struggles and reveal your weight. I hit a major breakthrough this weekend, I am close to being under 200 lbs. in several years. I need to lose wt because of being diabetic. It helps that Jenni, our daughter, is vegetarian. I do eat a lot less meat and definitely don’t eat fatty meats.
Keep up the good work, look forward to seeing you at the Church Vitality retreat in September.
Blessings! Jim
Hi Jim, Thanks for your comment. I didn’t originally post my weight, just how much I wanted to lose. But I decided if I’m going to talk about trying to lose weight I might as well own my numbers! I’m hoping juicing will give me a good push in the right direction. Although losing 10 lbs. is my goal with the fast, my ultimate goal is to maintain a weight of 120. I won’t be at the retreat – I’ll be in New Orleans on my mission trip. I know that First Church is planning on bringing a good crowd though!
