First days.

Day one is over.  It was not that bad since I did not have to work.  I pretty much just nerded out on the couch watching Battlestar Galactica and drinking my Green Juice.  So it was a very productive day.

From my starting weight of 265 I was already down to 263 at the start of day 2.  This was a great feeling.  But that feeling would not last.  Throughout the day I felt sluggish and very tired.  Then around 11 am the headache started.  I knew that it would be here eventually, after reading other peoples stories.  It will not go away, so I'll just have to hammer down and fight through. 

For dinner of day 2 I made the V9 juice from the Reboot with Joe website.  It tastes a lot like Bloody Mary mix, but when I added ground pepper, it got a lot better.  I am alredy tired of this diet, but I think that is just because of the headache.

Anyways, I am going to keep going and try my hardest not to cheat.  Soon Tiffany will start on the juice fast too, and be in this veggie based hell with me. 

Also we started a DietBet ,  So far there is only 2 of us on there, and are hoping for more.  But that probably won't happen.  If anyone want's to join in the fun, the group is open.  Hopefully ShayCarl starts a new one soon, and we can join and make some real cash.  But until then, it's just juicy fun.

The Plan

So here are the basics of the plan.

I will be doing the 30 day juice cleanse/ diet.  That means nothing but.   homemade juice from fresh vegetables and fruits.  If you think this is crazy see what happened to Joe Cross in "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead." His weightloss and overall improvement in health are incredible. 

Also I will be tracking my weight, steps, distance walked, and calories with my Fitbit Zip.  It should make it very easy to monitor my activities throughout the day, and everyone loves graphs in a presentation. 

My gym membership at Anytime Fitness will get some use as well.  I plan to go 3 times per week, but I might have to start slower.  I'm sure my internal system will need to take some time to get used to a healthier diet, made completely of juice.  It will not be happy with me, and will fight back with every pain, and food craving it's got.

Picking out dinner tonight was a lot like the choice a death row inmate has, as it is essentially my last real meal for at least 30 days.  I went with steak and potato skins, fyi.  I also picked up my supplies for several glasses of liquid veggie. 


There is literally hundreds of recipe's online for making different types of juice.  I have just been throwing together whatever sounded good at the time

Delicious Juice!   

This is what I will be enjoying for the next 30 days.  Hopefully I can make it through on this Juice alone.
