Jan 5th the 3rd day

Well 3rd day was A ok other than I was hungry all the time and it was very hard to take my mind of the food.
I have realized that in the mornings I am not very Hungry but its the late afternoon cravings I get into. I really wanted to open my fridge and nibble on cheese and crackers but I had to restrain myself.

The day went ok nothing grt happened so I guess nothing much to post.

Weight loss so far has been 3lbs not bad But I wish to see this number going up and staying where it is now.

See you on Day 4th

Jan 4th the second day.....

Jan 4th woke up in the morning and Viola there was no headache well if you sleep over 12 hrs there will be nothing aching in ur body anyways. Well I thought to myself today I will take a day off from gym as need to recover from my first day of Juice diet. So after dropping my son to school I headed straight back home and laid myself on the sofa and opened my computer....well I did open my computer to do some work I have started a Jewellery business ( watch out a blog spot for my Jewellery Business Soon ) which I have come to  realize that it is very easy to work for someone else as u don't have to plan your day you don't have to make big decision's and most of all your whole is already charted out for you...but when you have your business you are the boss and you are the employee. You have to maintain a discipline for yourself and make time to invest in your own business.

Well so as my morning was passing through I decided today is only Grapefruit day so I made myself 32 oz of grapefruit and put it in the fridge I know everyone says it is better to drink the fresh juice but I am little lazy if I have to make it 1 glass at a time it will get little difficult for me to be on this diet. So after I had consumed my half water and half juice which by the way is bitter like hell....I was no longer hungry.

Now i understand the meaning of grapefruit diet as you drink that bitter juice your body instantly says please don't give me that stuff anymore it is not good for your tongue or for your taste as u loose all your senses. Once you drink grapefruit you are not hungry and when you are not hungry you can loose lot of weight so grapefruit + bitterness= Weight lose.

Well today I didn't have any headache I guess my addiction to caffeine is pretty much over and I vow not to be back on that at all so now I will be a social tea or coffee drinker just like social Alcohol drinkers.

The day cruised by with not much of a problem I kept sipping on my grapefruit and it was OK I guess your tongue gets numbed by the taste so after 3 glassed it stops reacting to it. I am on season 3 of Sex and the city. I can say that officially I have not watched any food Network programs for past 2 days cos if I do then it will be one of the toughest moments to get out of it....so no Food Network for me till my 14 days are over and done with. Although while I watch my Sex and the City DVDs I do see the women have most of their conversation around food but for me it gets lot easier as I am admiring their clothes and how good they look so food is not on my mind at that point.

At night I decided to make Watermelon and cucumber juice and well my friends let me tell you it tasted very refreshing....and Amit being the support he has been and will be through out this process he makes a little trip to Costco and lands up buying the whole fruit produce section for all of us. So people if you just happen to run out all the fruits welcome to my house cos I have in abundance to put the entire building on juice diet :))). I am sure the person at the check out counter must be thinking God the man and his family is one heck of a healthy family look at  the amount of fruits he is buying.

Well night ended smoothly without any glitch. So I guess now the real process starts as they for the first 2 days your body is using up the left over food from your stomach in my case there was lot. Your fast actually don't start until the 4th day as that's when body starts to realize there is no new supply coming your way so start using the fat stored for emergency and this is emergency !!!!!!!

So lets see if my body is able to use up all the fat stored in safe places. I would like to tell them one thing only  Boys its time to get to work so work your butt/love handles off .......

Adios
will post my 3rd day soon watch out for that and till then enjoy your day/night.

1st day of my juice diet

Hello to all out there who are trying to loose weight or thinking about loosing weight. I have been on this quest for more than half of my life. It seems like I have tried every diet possible on this planet. It is not much about my diet but more about me sticking to something for long enough to see the results.

So my new year resolution is to loose some weight around 10 lbs and more so prove to myself if I can stick on something for straight 2 weeks. I know it is difficult but with all the help and support I can get from my frds family and from all the blog readers I am sure I can achieve this goal.

I started my juice diet on Jan 3rd 2010. I woke up in the morning and started my day with 1 glass of water. After I had dropped my son to school I headed straight to the gym which I had not been there for 3 whole weeks. I gave myself 30 Min's on the cardio machine I burned 350 calories in the meantime my caffeine withdrawal had kicked in so I finished my 30 Min's of cardio and left for home.

Once I reached home I was not very hungry but the headache had started to take over me slowly but steadily...even though i managed to do some stuff ard the house such as cleaning I had to make myself some juice. I made a juice of Pineapple, Orange and grapefruit and started sipping for the whole day...i kept diluting my juice with sparkling water to enhance the taste as grapefruit is one bitter fruit..................I managed to keep my mind of the food by watching SEX AND THE CITY DVDs. By Mid-afternoon my headache was quite bad so once I had picked my son up from school at 1.00 pm I decided to take a short/long name which by the way I did sleep for 2 hrs. Even the sleep did no good for the headache, but somehow I managed to bath my son and feed him and manage to hear all his stories/ problems he had to tell me. Once all this was done I gathered myself up and made more juice but this time it was of celery, cucumber, oranges and leftover pineapple. I made enough for myself and for my Husband as he is helping me out with the juice fast so he has also decided not to eat at night that is very sweet of him. Going back to my night juice I did manage to drink it but by 8.30  I was not feeling well at all the headache seemed unbearable this what happens when u are terribly addicted to caffeine....Just when I though I will manage to survive till the end it was impossible I had to run to the bathroom as I had to throw up and so I did it was all the water and the celery juice I had consumed. I had no energy left me in me but for a change my headache was little better.

As soon I had finished cleaning myself up my Husband walks through the door never been so happy to see him and I straight went to bed and I just crashed into bed and I was out like a light.

Will tell you guys how my next day was abt to go.
