Juice Fast: Day Six

Just over the Hump.

Oh. My. God. I am so ready for this to be over.

It seems that whatever was keeping me stopped up has worked its way through. All day today I have been cursed with an upset stomach and, well, diarrhea. All day. I guess this is to be expected when you are power washing your insides, but that does not make it pleasant. I know that this is very personal information, and normally I would shy away from sharing something so disgusting and intimate, but I wanted to be honest about what is happening to me in case anybody reading this is considering doing something similar. I want them to know what they are in for.

Anyway. The end is in sight. So that is something to be thankful for. I have been fantasizing about the things I will eat when I am finished with all this. Mercifully, most of this will probably not come to fruition since I am finding myself less and less hungry as the days go by. Apparently my stomach is shrinking. I didn't weigh myself this morning so I don't know if I have lost any more, but we will find out tomorrow morning.

Four more days. Four. More. Days.

Zumba Night!

Okay, so, I haven't updated my blog about my weight loss every Tuesday night like I planned. But I am proud to report that not only have I continued to go to the gym at least thrice a week, I even convinced N to join it with me! The exercise thing is going a lot better. Today I even looked at myself in the mirror while I was zumba-ing! I don't think that I will ever be the kind of person who loves, loves, loves going to the gym, it does feel kind of good, kind of virtuous to get all sweaty and be able to tweet, "I am at the gym doing zumba!" For those of you who don't know, Zumba is the new fitness craze. I guess if you were to totally simplify things you would call it a type of aerobic class, but it is really so non-aerobic-y. There is not a lot of pumping, or jumping. It is 100% dancing. A little bit of salsa, a little bit of hip-hop, and tonight, even a little bit of ballet. It gets the heart rate waaaay up, and I always end up drenched in sweat, and best of ...

Juice Fast: DayThree

The scale told me this morning that I have lost seven pounds. I also woke up this morning with a massive headache: the kind of headache that only massive amounts of water, a few hours extra sleep, and a good dose of extra-strength Advil could cure. So, ups and downs.  The hardest part of this whole thing continues to be eating at all. When I think about having to juice fruits and vegetables, I decided to just skip the whole thing because the idea of drinking another meal is so desperately unappealing. Norris is very against this. I think eventually he is going to pinch my nose and pour juice down my throat to make sure that I am consuming an appropriate amount of calories to keep my system running. I think I am getting better at the actual juicing part though. Tonight for dinner I made a juice containing kiwis, apples, celery, kale, lemon, ginger, and cucumber. It is totally green, but definitely the best tasting vegetable based juice that I have made so far. I think it will de...
