Alright so here we are again and I'm taking another stab at this juice fast thing. The last time I posted was back in January and I will start posting more. Sorry to my 4 followers. It has begun, and I'm on day 5.
My starting weight was 182.8 lbs. I'll do a weight update on Friday, which is a week from when I started.
I've been having 2 main juices, lunch and dinner. With a fruit juice blend in between to hold me off.
The reciepe is the same as I did last time.
1 Cucumber
4 Sticks of Celery
6 Leaves of Kale
2 Large Apples
1/2 Lemon
1in of Ginger
Someone asked me how much juice does that make. I don't know the exact amount but I'd say about 4 cups worth. It's almost too much. However, sometimes I don't think it's enough and depending on the size of the cucumber and celery you'll get a better yield. Apples surprisingly don't produce as much juice as a cucumber.
I didn't really take notes on how much it costs to juice this time. I was trying to remind myself to save the receipt but, I failed. My first purchase of goods was from walmart and I managed to type in some prices on my phone when calculating the best deals per lb.
Cucumbers - (Large) .68c each
Ginger - $3.28 Lb
Kale - $1.24 8 pcs
Lemons - $1.48 for 2 Lb bag
Apples - $6.30 for 6 lb bag. (roughly 12 apples)
I restocked at a local farmers market and payed more, apparently it was all organic??
Now if you're wondering how I feel. I feel fine, no dizziness this time. I realized I need to juice and keep up with my water intake more often then I did last time. Instead of waiting for myself to feel hungry in between my main juices, I'll just make a fruit juice and drink it whether I'm hungry or not.
I'm still smoking cigarettes from my bachelor party, which is about half a pack a day. So going on 10 months of smoking. I really like smoking though. Sometimes I feel it's gross and when I'm outside staring into the middle distance. I question why I'm smoking and I just keep telling myself I like blowing O's. Perhaps it's the subtle moments of clarity breaks I get when I go out to smoke. I don't know, I stopped for a few years before and didn't need it then. I'll make a note to stop this year.
I don't know why I'm juicing, when I like food. I'm not extremely overweight or anything. I'm 6'2" and was 183lbs. I started noticing a bit of belly fat and had to start wearing large shirts. LARGE! I'm not muscular and could understand having to wear a large if my muscles were in the way. However I'm not buff so a Medium should suffice. Make a note to get buff.
I will update you on Friday of the new weight and my current condition. Bye.
