Back on track after a brief detour...
So I coasted for quite a bit there hovering around the 270lbs plateau. That level seemed to be made of granite. I didn't eat any meat, and I slacked off in the exercise dept. I was bouncing between 270 - 275 and starting to get bummed out about it. You can still gain weight on a vegetarian diet. Boo!
On a train back from a visit to my buddy for his 40th Birthday, I had the best veggieburger I've ever tasted. This lifestyle change isn't going to be a problem. Man I love those Trader Joes Lentil Wraps.
So today is my second day juicing straight and I find myself wondering why it took me so long to get back on program. I weighed myself this morning and Boom! The scale was below 270lbs just like that!. Time to make up for lost time.
My revised fast goes something like this...
#1 No snacks at work.
The first time I did this I loaded up on nuts and fruit and a bunch of stuff to nibble on. Not needed! That was all mental. I don't need to constantly chew stuff to make up for not eating meals. I will drink my way to good health. I'll have a prune or some grapes at home but I won't shuttle stuff around.
#2 More Veg, Less Fruit.
I like the green leafy drink better when I don't sweeten it with apple. I'm wiping the lipstick off the pig.
#3 Find Alternatives to Home Juicing.
I played around a bit with Robecks,Jamba Juice, and Just Juice It. These stores sell candy. I was psyched to see a Kale drink at Robecks only to be shocked to find it tasted more like pineapple than anything else. It was just looked green. Today I found a place in Glendale called "Da Juice Bar". That's where you can get the real deal. I got the Veggie Cocktail with Kale, Spinach, Parsley, Celery, Carrot, Beet, Bell-Pepper, Lemon, Tomato, Onion, and Garlic. It was De-lish!
#4 Supplements.
I've got the B-12 drops and the fiber powders at the ready.
Sept 17th is coming up quick and I've got a long way to go still.
