Weigh In - Week 16 ...and day 3 of juice fast

Last week I didn't weigh in because I was on my period and I thought I'd take it easy and give myself a week off.  I was still losing weight, but I didn't care to check.  This week has been great.  I started the week with lots of healthy raw foods.  On Friday, I went on a date with Jack, my husband, and splurged a little - shrimp and avocado salad, ceviche and two cocktails!  Wheeee!

Then on Saturday, Jack and I began a juice fast.  Today is day three and I'm feeling refreshed and ready to meet the day.  Last night was a doozy, however, because I was wanting to eat and feeling a little weak.  It turns out I needed a little more juice and some water.  So after re-hydrating, I felt better.  (Fasting tip - keep yourself hydrated!)

Pounds lost in the past 2 weeks:  6

Total pounds lost: 31

The "I Did It" List

I stayed focused on my eating plan

I allowed for splurges when appropriate

I began a juice fast, which I've been wanting to try

As per reader request, here is the juice recipe:

GREEN LEMONADE
head of Romaine
two-three leaves of Kale
one lemon with peel
1-2 apples (cored)
4-5 whole celery sticks
small bit of ginger to taste

I juice these items in this order through my juicer, stir and drink!

Sometimes I'll add carrots or green grapes to this mix for sweetness and variety.
