Blog: Fasting & Detox: Juicing for first time
You know what is funny? As soon as I hit my euphoria, (which I am assuming is my body saying, "Whew! Boy that took a while to clean house! Now I am going to relax and get on with my life") I suddenly became hungry. It's not even cravings. It's genuine hunger. I am assuming my body is ready to begin eating again. I will, however, finish the 40-day fast.
I am sipping on a great juice right now: orange, lemon and ginger. Yum! It's soooo rich.
I am wearing a pair of pants that I haven't worn in almost 3 years. Yeah! And I ordered a new suit from Ann Taylor. It's white/cream cotton/silk, and it was on SALE! I love that word. My Brooks Brothers suit makes me look like I am a little girl wearing my mom's clothes now. Not a bad problem to have, but I just bought it last year.
There is something swollen where my ear meets my jaw. Is that a lymphnod? I hope that is not bad. : / I will be making an appointment with my doctor soon anyhow. Any insights?
So my aunt calls me Lucy, from I Love Lucy, because I always have good intentions, but I always manage to mess things up or make a mess. Yesterday I was trying to take pictures for my "before and after" series to remind me why I don't want to eat "that" again, and it didn't really work the way I planned. So there I am, wearing a bathing suit, set up the camer, push all of these buttons, and push the shutter button. I begin to walk toward the wall and "Click!" Man! I forgot to set the timer! I went back to the camera, and lo and behold! I took a lovely, candid picture of my butt in a bathing suit. *Gasp* It was quite an eye opener. Of course it's *delete* *delete* *delete*. *Sigh* Well, I should have kept it, but I am definitely inspired to really watch what I eat.
Speaking of watching what I eat...What do you guys think about cheese in serious moderation? My mom brought me back some Amish Cheese, and I am dying!
Anyway. Tomorrow's the big day. The big 4-0! I feel like running out into the hallway of my company and singing, "I believe I can fly!" Do you think they would appreciate that? Neither do I. But I don't care, because "I beleive I can touch the sky!" After all, I think about it every night and day...
I am back. Have a great day everyone!

RedFizz, AWESOME!!
That description of euphoria you gave, sounds awesome! Yes, finish the 40 days, it's only one more day!
So, how many sizes did you go down? How much weight did you lose? What about sagging skin, do you have any? I'm worried about sagging skin.
That swollen spot could be your lymphnode. I would suggest a chiropractor too, my chiro does wonders! But, they're not all the same, just like regular docs. You have to shop around for a good one.
Well Lucy, that was a funny story about the camera!!
Cheese in moderation sounds good to me; as long as you can say 'stop' when you need to.
You've done awesome. Keep up the good work. Has anyone at work noticed anything?
Welcome back to YOU!

Thank you so much, Midge! Lets see. I went down 4 dress sizes from 16 to 12. I started at 177.8lbs, and I am now at 151.8lbs. I haven't experienced sagging skin. In fact, its firming up fairly well. I agree that cheese in moderation is the way to go. Once it is gone, it is gone.
I will post all my stats probably on Thursday or Friday.
Glad you also saw the humor in the picture. I am glad God gave me a sense of humor or I would be in serious trouble.
Thanks for the great message!
