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.
