Day 2: Feeling decent and positive

Woke up this morning feeling like I didn't really need to make a pot of coffee..   6am is way to early.   Can't wait for school to be out so I can sleep in.  Haha

Stepped on the scale and it said 181.6      That was nice.   I went thru some summer clothes last night and was so depressed.  Nothing fits like it should.   Some were tighter than I could be comfy in.   Yup..  There is just no excuse to be this over weight.  Goal.  10 pounds gone by the end of June.   It is very do-able if I focus and get my a$$ off the couch.   

6:15am I have a cup of instant coffee with creamer...   Best way to start the day...

8:30am.  I opened my first "juice" which is again more the consistency of a purée smoothie..   I don't really care for the texture at all.    A bit sweeter than I like but I did expect with with all the fruits in it.   Can definitely tell it is mostly berries.   The strawberry is faint and no hint of the spinach.    This is a good one for the kids but I personally will pass on it in the future.  

10:42am and I just finished 12 ounces of plain water.  Not really hungry but got the munchies pretty consistently.   I was hoping the water would curb it but apparently not.   It is time for my second juice.   After I go switch the laundry.  Haha

11:15 am..   Second juice and it is wonderfully good..   I will be getting this one again.

I am beginning to feel water logged.   I have a minor headache forming behind my right eye.   I am pretty sure that I need a nap...

4:50pm...  Putting the finishing touches on some soups I made.   Creamy cauliflower, carrot ginger and sweet butternut..   All very low calorie and also cleansing friendly for those looking for a complete cleanse..  Snacked on a few small pieces of cauliflower..

6pm..   Just had a small piece of pork rib..  Very tasty but probably should have skipped it.   Feeling a bit nausious...  

10 pm...   Feeling drained.   Full blown headache.   Tylenol then bed...   

The night before my Suja Cleanse

Welcome back..  First let me apologize..  I am not sure where all the pictures of my previous posts went to.  Hmmm...   Very strange.  I will be trying to edit them but I am not really sure which pictures go where so it will be a process of elimination.. haha

So reality has set in that my life went off track again with my poor eating habits.  I went to put one of my skinnier jeans on only to find that they once again did not fit.  Sighing heavily...  I was so sad that I had to face the facts.. I am not healthy, motivated or happy with myself at the moment.  Now don't get me wrong.. I love my life and I love everyone in it.  I just do not like the lazy bones that I have become in the last 4 months.  Time to get off my growing behind and take care of business. 

I have been planning to do this juice cleanse for about a week now.  I will be making my own as I go for the most part but the first 3 days will consist of premade Suja Essentials.  My local Target store carries some of them so I thought I would try them out.  The Classic line is 16 ounces and the Essentials line is only 12 ounces and each one is a bit higher in calories so I will only be having 4 of them each day with the master cleanse as fill ins for the other 2 juices I should be having.

I do intend on having a morning black coffee after my lemon water..  However, I will limit myself to 1 cup and only to ward off the headache that will inevitably occur.  One thing that kills a cleanse is the headache of withdrawal. 

I also will not be documenting my weight daily.  I will only be doing weekly weigh ins.  The reason is because I am really tired of relying on the scale and I think that without knowing the exact numbers daily will give me a better outlook through the cleanse.  I am also not sure how long I will be going for.  I am only saying 3 days but may change it as I go.  Depends on how I feel and how my household cooperates with me.
