So the Juice Fast lasted from Wednesday to Friday. Sort of felt like forever, but at the same time Friday wasn't all that bad. I think I was starting to get used to it. I managed to lose a total of 8lbs in 3 days, so I'm assuming it's mainly water weight. But it was nice while it lasted! I'm trying to slowly go back to "real" food, so hopefully the effects of the fast will last for a little while.
Even though I had a sinus infection, I actually felt a lot better during the fast than I'd expected to. I think there might actually be some truth to the whole "juicing makes you feel more healthy" thing. I wouldn't be against trying it again sometime. Chris saw super-shining results, but I'll wait to comment on that until he posts regarding his thoughts on it.
Yesterday we started falling off the healthy-train, though. :( Breakfast was half a Grapefruit with sugar, snack was craisins and walnuts, lunch was non-existant, and then a small piece of birthday cake and ice cream at my mom's. Then many hours went by and Chris started to get hungry (how dare he be able to eat more than me! :P) so we picked up a plate of beef yaki udon at the Japanese restuarant down the street to split. We also each got a Summer roll (which seems to be some sort of rice paper filled with greens, tofu, and some thin white noodles I don't recognize). It was MORE than enough. I don't want to start over-eating already...
This morning I had an Odwalla juice, even though I'm not really hungry yet. But I got up at 6:20, so I figured around 8:30 I should probably actually ingest something. I wonder when I'll get hungry today. I bet my body is still working off that udon from yesterday...
Anyway, I've gained back a pound a day so far since going off, while Chris has continued to lose weight. It's so hard to compete with a man when it comes to weight loss. For some reason they always seem to lose it so much faster! :P
