This is the blog of a couple who took an amazing journey in self discovery and took control of their lives back from their addiction to food. More than dieting or weight loss, this is about lifestyle and change as well as a mental re-wiring of two people who want nothing more than to be healthy, fit and living life fully.

Day 48 - Trudy
Today was a good day. I didn't do much of anything just hung out with Johnnie which was great. We talked a lot about the hot dog cart and are trying to figure out how to make it work.
60 Day juice fast - Day 46 - Johnnie
True Weight: 269.5 !!!
Today was a great day. We went easy today. I was still pretty sore from the full body workout so we hit the gym and used the hot tub, steam room and sauna. Felt great after leaving there.
Met again with Matt today from 24 hour fitness and told him how we were doing. He noticed our energy levels seem way up.
We told him we had two weeks left and wanted to end with a big bang on numbers; he very cooly offered to meet with us tomorrow for a half an hour to discuss our options. That should be great.
More roasted butternut squash and garlic tonight, delicious as usual. More discussions about how we plan to phase food back in. Originally we were going to start eating for our blood type right out of the gate; however, additional research has shown this to be a rather foolish idea. So, we will slowly introduce foods back into the body starting with softer items and working up. I am having a freakin' avocado first thing Friday morning on the 9th and Trud is having a vine ripened tomato. We will juice later then go from there with celery and nut butter, etc.

Day 46 - Trudy
Today was a good day. Today we woke up at 10am which is much earlier than I had been getting up lately. We had our breakfast and pills and then headed to the gym to do hot tub and steam room time oh, and to weight too. I weighed before going into the hot tub. I was down another 4 lbs. It's not a huge number; however, it is still losing so I am happy.
Total Weight: 193 pounds

Day 45 - Trudy
Today was a good day. I slept in a little late however no biggie. We did not win the jackpot last night however we will I believe it with all my heart. We went to the gym and did full body, it was another good workout. We pushed ourselves really hard. Tomorrow is the start of the last 14 days, yeah! I also went to Ross today and bought 2 long dresses, both dresses are smaller than what I have worn for years and yet fit great!!!
60 Day Juice Fast - Day 45 - Johnnie
Today was a great day. We went to the gym today and did full body. We worked hard and I was sore as hell later today. I need to stretch more after working out and not just before.
I like when we work hard and I can feel my strength increasing and my muscles growing. My triceps are getting noticeably bigger and I can see results in my legs too.
We had Trudy's roasted squash and garlic puree this evening and it was incredible, as always. We have been watching "The Buried Life" an awesome documentary on Netflix which was an MTV show at one point.
Woke up early today with a voice in my ear that said "Wake up, you have won millions and need to do something with it." We didn't win however today but I believe the universe is preparing me for when I do win. Because I am wealthy and money comes to me easy and often.
PS. More great sex today! I love being healthier!!!

60 Day Juice Fast - Johnnie Day 44
Today was a great day, we mixed things up a bit and did our cardio at home. Dave and Julie have a bunch of exercise stuff lying around so we decided to take it all for a test drive.
We used the treadmill, jumped rope (that was tougher than when I was a kid),did planks, used the balance ball, punching bag (legs and arms) and much more. We worked hard and maybe harder because there was little social fear involved with trying the various exercises outside of the gym.
We had Trudy's pureed pea soup for dinner and it was awesome as usual. We also bought our mega millions tickets because we will be wealthy and money comes to me easy and often.

Today was a good day. We worked out at Dave and Julie's today instead of going to the gym. For our workout we did some jump rope, punching bag, treadmill time and a few other things, it was a hard workout but it felt great. We had pea soup tonight for dinner. We also bought our mega millions tonight which we are gonna win, go us!

60 Day juice fast - Johnnie Day 43
Today was a good day. I didn't have to do much and wasn't feeling the gym today so I passed on going. I ran Dave to the Army Navy store so he could get some pants for work.
Today was sort of a mental recovery day from the all day arguing with Trudy the day before. I am not even sure why we kept arguing but it wouldn't end. Maybe we are getting cabin fever or end of juicing frustrations or something.
We both apologized and put it behind us. No matter what we love each other more than anything.

Today I woke up (if you call it that) at 6:30am after going to bed at a little after 3am. I went to Vicky's with Julie. I was there with her until a little after 1pm. Johnnie and I talked and made up and then watched some TV. Johnnie played his game while I cooked dinner (liquefied peas). We ate at 5pm and then watched a movie. Overall today was a good day.
Trudy - Day 42
The early part of the day was good; however, the evening did not go so well. We went to a few stores with Dave and Julie then came back when Julie, Vicky and I went and got our nails done. After coming home the evening went to hell because I was being a bitch. The evening ended with us not talking, not touching or anything else. I felt so terrible for everything that happened.

60 Day Juice Fast - Johnnie Day 42
Today has been an up and down day. Started off great; we went out with Dave and Julie and went to James Avery where we were all having a good time. My plan was to come home and play. Somewhere in between being out and coming home Trudy had made some comments and talked over me several times. I was annoyed and when I mentioned it a large fight erupted.
The fight lasted for an hour or two. We talked it down and then less than an hour later it exploded twice as bad. That went on for hours and ended with both of us being hurt and feeling frustrated. We went to bed that way which is a foolish thing to do. Neither of us slept well and Trudy had to leave before I got up so we won't see each other most of tomorrow either.

Day 41 - Trudy
Today was a good day. I went to the Grapevine Mall to do some window shopping. I am really proud because before juicing I was wearing a size 18 and today I was fitting a size 14 so I am down 2 dress sizes for instance XL is a little small but The next size up is too big. We had low sodium V8 spicy hot and it did not taste good warm at all, very bland.
60 Day Juice Fast - Johnnie day 41
Today was a great day. It has been raining like crazy outside and a bit colder than we have become used to.
Cravings are all but gone now but the desire to eat and think of foods is still there. We spend much of our time talking about what we want to eat and when. We also worry about over eating again and possibly undoing all the hard work and sacrifice we have done to this point.
I played my game for a while and Trud went to the mall. She spent a good deal of time there and I think she enjoyed it very much. She got her nails done and they look cute.

Today was a great day. Worked the full body at the gym today and was feeling it very well. My arms are growing and my overall strength is coming back. Each day I feel stronger and better. As an added bonus our sex life has picked up as well! Increased stamina, desire and confidence have all been bonus side effects of eating healthier and loosing weight. Woo Hoo!
Visited with Julie for a bit today and Dave then decided to hang in our room and watch a couple movies. Between movies we entertained ourselves, adult style! Lol. I can't wait till I reach my target weight, I'll never get anything done!

Today was a good day. We went to the gym, worked our butts off. Then we went and did the bank thing. We got 10 more Powerball plus we got power play, the winners are worth more. We had sex two days in a row, yay! Another great thing about getting healthier. We have the winning Powerball ticket I think it, I know it and I believe it.

Day 39 - Trudy
Today was a good day. We didn't get the jackpot lastnight however we'll keep playing and we'll win a jackpot soon. Johnnie and I will be the first ones in Texas to win. I wasn't really feeling going to the gym today however we needed to so that we could weigh; I wasn't feeling the gym because I feel like I am getting a little sick. I sat in the pool and the hot tub today and I was down another pound, not a huge amount but it is still going down so I am happy I will reach my goal of 175 pounds.
I weighed in today at 197 lbs.

Today was a good day. No real cravings. Trudy's soup creations are making the last part of this much easier. She cooked the pea soup longer today for lunch and it really broke the peas down more which liquified everything and made it even more delicious.
Tonight we had a carrot & garlic soup. It was good as well. The carrot flavor was very strong but I enjoy carrots and eating a warm meal helps.
The gym was just some light cardio today followed by some hot tub and steam room time.
Down to 272 today, that is a 40lb weight loss so far!

Johnnie - 60 Day Juice Fast - Day 38
OMG! I was not feeling the gym today. Not sure why. I just wasn't and it made my work-out very tough! Being physically lazy had in turn made me mentally lazy. Each rep seemed harder. Each weight heavier. I got through, did my full body as expected and even rode 5 miles on the bike in roughly 15 minutes but the day was tough.
Trudy made pea soup tonight. Much like the squash , it was delicious and great to have. It was somewhat thicker however and we are discussing some ways to make it a bit more liquified.
Tomorrow means only 3 weeks left! I am pretty damn excited.

Today was a good day. We went to the gym and did full body. We went and bought some Powerball tickets, we are so gonna win. Powerball tickets have doubled in price now that Texas is in on it, lol. We had pea soup tonight; it was ok but it needed to be cooked longer to break down the peas but other than that it was good.
