Day Twenty-Two

Woke up this morning at 5 a.m. and spent 45 minutes on the treadmill before weighing in.  241 lbs.  That's 24 lbs lost in 3 weeks.  That's nice and all, but it's only 4 lbs. since last week.  That's after a few sessions on the treadmill and several hours of walking last weekend in Seattle.  I don't know what gives. 

Not much else to report.  I'm still doing good.  I still feel good.  I miss eating though.  But I'm determined to lose more weight in this coming week than I lost in this past week.  Joe Cross in his documentary, Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead, lost an average of more than 1 lb each day over the duration of his fast (60 days).  I need to be seeing losses similar to that if I want to make my goal of 55 lbs lost in 56 days.  I've stepped up the walking, and I'm going to cut back on the high-carb juices.  For example, I used a calorie counter program to see how many calories were in my breakfast juice this morning.  800.  I know.  I was blown away.  3 oranges, 1 grapefruit, 2 kiwi, 3 carrots, 1/2 of a beet, 6 prunes and a chunk of ginger came to 800 calories?!  It's easy to see how fruit-based juices can lead to too many calories in the daily diet.

I'm watching Food, Inc. right now.  I'm not sure whether I should turn it off and remain content to live in my blissful world of ignorance, or if I should keep watching.

  1. Good job!! Keep on juicing!! I have lost 34lb, am on day 42 of the project and 34 of juicing today. Doing a 60 day project which is 40 days of juicing wrapped with Raw food around it. I started with 8 days of raw and then started juicing. This works great! Blogs definitely help stay motivated! Check out mine: http://GeekGrass.com
