And so the Journey Begins



Day 1
380.1 lbs – 0.0 Pounds Lost

Today is my first day towards a healthier me.  When I first decided to do this, I thought I would start out with just juices.  After doing a little more research, I found out that I have to ease myself into it.  Apparently it is too much of a shock to your body to go from pigging out at the Ravenelli’s Father’s Day Buffet to sipping juice all day.  Not a problem though.  I just have to go 5 days eating nothing but fruits and vegetables.  They say this is to prepare your digestive system.  I have a feeling I am going to find out just exactly what that means; if not today, then definitely tomorrow.

The added bonus is that supposedly by doing it this way, easing into it, the unpleasant effects usually experienced in the first few days are somewhat abated.  Weaning one’s self off of caffeine and sugar gradually versus cold turkey has got to be the better way!

Anyway, so far today, I have eaten a gigantic bowl of fruit - probably 2.5 cups - including 1 apple, 1 peach, 1 plum, 2 bananas, all sprinkled with a little bit of fresh lemon juice.

As I write this, I am drinking something called a "Carrot - Apple - Ginger" juice.  I know it will surprise you to find out the ingredients.

  • 4 Carrots
  • 1 Red Apple
  • 2 Green Apples
  • 1.5" Ginger
I know, I know... The naming of this stuff leaves something to be desired.  But I gotta tell you.  That is not a bad way to kick this whole thing off!  I give it a 5 on a scale of 1-5.  It's very yummy.
