it's odd. i don't feel like i haven't eaten for three weeks. i don't really feel any different today to how i was feeling the week before the juicefeast started. i'm still wanting to eat. having cravings for everything i see and smell. getting headaches and horrendous tummy gurgling. not really where i was hoping to be by now and i was feeling a bit down about it. so, i did what i always do and i talked to YummyHubby about it. i went through my reasons for doing this and also said that despite the odd energy peak and moments of euphoria - which i'm not knocking, it's fabulous! - i don't really have that fabby go! go! go! thing going on, and that's a little bit disappointing. but... i'll stick with it. i know i'll get there in the end. and as YummyHubby pointed out, it can't be a bad thing to still feel bouncy at 6pm when the rest of the people on the same train are looking like zombies. so perhaps i haven't quite reached ecstatic bliss and exuberant energy, but damn it, i'm feeling better than most of the world looks.
the photo is of my three bottles to take to work. i know the arguments about aluminium but siggs are lined and they guarantee 0.00% leaching. and three glass jars on a busy tube in the morning just isn't my idea of safe. the one glass bottle scares me enough. they add up (if they're all full, and they usually are) to 2.2 litres, which along with the pint i drink while i'm cleaning up from juicing, is a total of 2.8 quarts. there are days when i get through it all, and i might make another juice when i get home for 'dinner' - but there are lots of days when i bring one of the bottles back home with me to finish at dinnertime. just not enough.
i do worry that i'm not feeling the energy/bliss because i'm not getting enough juice but i can't see how i can make or consume any more right now. i'm hoping my desire for juice will increase, cos right now i have to make myself drink it, even when i make super yummy juices. i just can't take the volume. ho hum. this is loulou in frustrated mode. welcome, those of you who don't know me like this.
today i had:
0.5l msm-lemon water
1.5l kale-baby greens-spinach-romaine-celery-cucumber-carrot-mint-apple juice
0.5l pineapple-orange-raspberry juice
3 cups green tea

LOL! When I was a flight attendant, I flew exclusively to the UK. It took me so long to wrap my mind around the concept of 'stones'. I'd see headlines about people losing stones and I thought they were talking about kidney stones! LOL
Sigh.... I miss the UK so much.
Congrats on the weightloss... It feels amazing doesn't it? I just realized tonight when getting dressed and bending over that I no longer have the faintest hint of 'Moobs' (man-boobs... in case that term isn't popular in the UK). LOL... not that I had a B cup or anything, but you could feel them 'hanging' a bit when I'd bend over before. .... okay TMI! I'm done rambling... Congrats! :P
(It's late here... and I'm tired... sorry if this was retarded and odd LOL)
it's not retarded... you make me laugh! if you ever get anywhere near, there's a welcome for you in london dude.
i've lost a cupsize too. which is also A Good Thing :)
