Back again!
Actually I never left. I hit that sticky part of the diet. I stopped hardcore juicing and tried the Vegan thing. It ended up taking 2 weeks to finish all the stuff I had bought to try.
Tofurky Sausage was a hit, but it is high in calories and salt. I gained about 3lbs during this trial and that bummed me out. I didn't take it lying down however.
I started walking daily during weekdays. I take the weekends off. And I'm back to juicing.
My new plan is to juice for breakfast and dinner and lunch with a nice salad. I bought a $100 Green Card at Chop Stop, my new favorite restaurant. They add $15 to the card if you buy at that amount. I build my own salad with a romaine/spinach mix and a combo of chopped apples, dried cranberries, jalapenos, mushrooms, tomatoes, and red onion tossed with a light amount of balsamic vinaigrette. So super Yumm! For variety, I swap an ingredient or two. Just changing out the mushrooms for green olives made a huge difference.
Even though I haven't been recording it, I've been getting on the scale daily. I'm happy with the results so far. I know I can do this now. That's a big change from how I was feeling at the start. I've got a long way to go reversing all the damage I've done for years. Who knew you could feel so good doing it.
