My second 4.5-day juice fast was easier than the first. I had no detox symptoms and felt pretty darn
good throughout the whole thing. I
fasted Monday, January 12, 2015 – Friday, January 16, 2015. Friday was actually the hardest day. I gave in to food pretty easily by about
noon. I honestly can’t remember what I
ate since I’m writing this post 14 days later.
On Monday, January 19th I started my 30-day juice
fast. I was pumped and ready!
I cruised stealthily through the first 10 days without a
problem.
For some reason on day 11 I gave in to temptation late in
the evening. I had some almonds and one
Peanut M&M. I could live with that
slip up.
On day 12 (the day I’m writing this post) I slipped up again
with some more almonds…but then…DISASTER!
My willpower toppled and I succumbed to a Pulled Pork
Sandwich that was leftover in the fridge.
Poor lil piggy
What is my problem!!!!!!????
I will be going to the gym today for the first time in about
2 years. I have to correct this
back-slide. I don’t want all my progress
to be wasted. I WANT TO KEEP GOING!!!
Speaking of progress, I need to post the weight loss
progress I made during the fasts.
I have a Quantum Scale.
It “secretly” records my weight and then will only tell me if I’ve
gained or lost.
I also just borrowed my mom's medical scale so that I will know my exact weight. I will post that info at the end of my 30-day fast.
Here are the day by day readings from my Quantum Scale:

So this means that in 25 days I lost 12.8 pounds total. Not too bad.
I think part of my cave to temptation was due to how little
the scale moved in the past few days. I’ve
been told not to weigh every day, but that’s impossible for me. Weighing every day keeps me motivated (or unmotivated in this case). I must say, I'm going to be afraid to look at
the number tomorrow, but I’m going to keep juicing. And I am not resetting the fast to day one…I’m
still going to be on day 13. If I look
at it as having to start over then I just might give up altogether. It’s funny how food is such a mind game. I’m still trying to train my brain to think
of food as fuel and not as fun. It’s a
hard road.
My biggest worry is keeping the weight off that I lose. Sometimes I think that’s harder than losing
the weight to begin with.
I’m off to the gym now. I might write more when I get back!
