Fasting day 6

 Today when I woke up, I laid in bed for a bit, until I heard a noise outside. I got up, rather quick and saw nothing but black when I got to my window. I gave it a second to catch my bearings and was okay. I am not sure if this is a symptom of fasting or I just got up to fast. 

Today's juice is delicious! 

1 medium beet

2 celery

1 cucumer

1 large green apple

1 spirulina capsule


 



For anyone interested, I found these 100% coconut water. Nothing else added. 



I attempted to hit the gym today. All I did was cardio. I did a 20 minute brisk walk with a five minute cooldown on the treadmill. And then I did 30 minutes on the bike. And I felt good. I did weigh myself afterwards. I was at 156.8. I haven’t weighed that in years. This year alone I have lost 20lbs total. First I started with Herbalife and walking. 

I will have to take a picture.

Weekend fasting update

Image
 Saturday I think I ended up having 4 juices total, along with water and coconut water. I have added a plant based protein that I found at Walmart. I did of course research first and found out pea protein is good. I was able to find this:  I don't use it with every juice. I used it at dinner time or before or after the gym.  Saturday night was date night and the boyfriend brought food back. I did have a few bites but nothing to consider a meal and I am ok with this. I will not be perfect all the time, I can only do what I can do. Besides, not many people understand juicing and think you're starving yourself. I dont believe this, and it wasn't the case.  Here is one of my juices from Saturday.  Sunday I was ok in the morning, since I brought a juice over for date night for the morning. But I learned that you need to blend the protein powder. It doesn't shake well. The taste is fine, I actually don't notice the difference.  Sunday I went shopping for a few mo...

Fasting Day 13

 I honestly cant believe that it has been nearly 2 weeks of juicing. I have to say I am really enjoying it. I dont crave food. My stomach will growl if I am hungry, but I am not craving anything. On day 11 I did eat a small salad with grilled chicken, it was date night! 🤷🤷 I have added Tumeric Curcumin to my juice as well. Here is why if you're curious.  Yesterday, getting dressed for the gym I noticed my clothes fit a little differently. I took a few pics after looking in the mirror and I am quite proud of my accomplishments. In 2020 I have lost 20 pounds and some inches ( I never measured)  Here I am, I am 39 years old. I have had 3 children. I am not ashamed to walk around in this body! I am proud of it.  I am hitting the gym multiple times per week and just focusing on cardio right now. I have lots of energy.  As for my moods, well I feel like I am having more and more anxiety attacks over random things. But overall I am doing ok at the moment.

Day 8 of Fasting

Image
 I'd say Happy Monday, but its a Monday...  This am before my therapy appointment I prepped 2 juices. I for breakfast and 1 for after my work out/lunch.  I just left the gym and am enjoying coconut water as I type this. It was a pretty good work out. I am not 100% sure but I believe this machine is the Recubent Cross Trainer. I will find out next time.  And here is me. It was a good sweat. Gym weight 158.  Today I am going to see if I am getting enough protein. Normally I donate plasma twice a week, and I am going today. Fingers crossed!  Not only was I able to donate plasma, but my protein level was higher than it had ever been. Normally I am in the the 6 range, the last few weeks I have been at 6.0 which is the lowest my protein can be to donate plasma. I have even been below it, when I was deferred from donating for a week when it went below 6.0. Today my plasma was 7.1!! All from choosing the right vegetables to juice and possibly the added protein powd...
