Today went okay. I started out with a couple of hot cups of green tea with lemon. Yummmmm. Tonight I had a pineapple/banana/apple smoothie with 1 scoop of Nature's Way Alive. It tasted awesome!
I went to the gynecologist today...they wieghed me at the Doctor's Office. The digital scale said I wieghed 139. That was not cool. I wonder how different my scale is from that one, and which one is closer to the truth? In any case, I chose not to believe the digital Doctor scale, in favor of my own...for one reason: I just bought my scale 3 weeks ago, and they wiegh women all day long on the other one...so it probably needs to be re-calibrated (well I can hope right?). Even so, I started with my scale, and it is, at the very least, an indicator of how many pounds lost since I started this diet.
We are on day 8. I wieghed in on my scale this morning at 131. When I started this diet I was at 138. So I lost 7 lbs so far on this fast. That's really good for me. I actually wieghed 145, I think, before that when I started dieting a little. So total I have lost at least 13 lbs. I also have my period, which tends to make the scale wrong...since women retain water on the menstruation cycle. (so maybe I will drop even further when it's over!)
Felt fine today, no lethargy (salad helped from last night).
The other day I saw my friend and he noticed right away that I had lost wieght. He told me he could see it in my face. I wonder if my boyfriend will be able to tell. No one from work notices because they see me everyday...and everyday I guess I get a smidge smaller...
Can't wait to go to NYC and be in the 120-125 range! 9 more days to go!

| You're doing awesome! Hang in there and you WILL lose the weight. And don't worry about the gyno's scale for a second. No matter which one is correct, you still would have been seven pounds heavier had you not done the juice fast and how bad would you have felt if it had read 146! Keep up the good work and I'm glad to hear about the raise. Hopefully you'll find a nice new apartment as well.
