60 Day Juice Fast - Day 59 - Johnnie

One more day!!!  It is hard to believe we have done this.  It seemed so far away when we started and yet here we are with only one day left.  It is a bit humorous to look back and remember some comments of the few who knew we were doing this.  A few suggested we couldn't do it, some outright said we couldn't and still, others were supportive.  I wonder what they all think now?  Regardless of what side of the fence they stood on they all motivated us differently.

Today was a great day!!!

Day 60 - Trudy

DAY SIXTY:!!!!!!

Today was a great day.  We went to the gym and weighed in.  I was down another 4 pounds, yay me.  We went shopping at Sprouts for our meals on Day 61.  I am still a little nervous about eating but I am sure we will be okay.

Today's weight:  184 pounds; total loss of 41 pounds!!!

We Made it Bitch!!!

Day 59 - Trudy

Today was a good day.  One more day and then it is time to eat, lol.  I did my daycare pick-ups and drop-offs.  We didn't go to the gym today either but it's okay, we'll go tomorrow for sure because it is Day 60 and we must weight in!!!

Day 58 - Trudy

Today was a good day.  Today was the first day of taking the kids to school while Julie is gone.  Talon didn't go to school again today so I didn't have to come back to the house and wait to take him to the school.  I got to come back and come back to bed.  We didn't go to the gym today because we stayed with Talon because he was sick.

60 Day Juice Fast - Day 58 - Johnnie

Today was a great day.  Talon is home sick again today so we hung out with him a little.  Julie is on her trip to Arizona at a Spa Resort and Trudy is picking up the kids this week for Julie.

We had juice this morning for breakfast and pea soup for lunch, as usual, it was awesome.  I hope we continue to enjoy that as a we go back to regular food.

We need to go to Sprout's at some point soon to get our groceries for the upcoming food week.  That should prove interesting.  I can almost taste my Avocado!

60 Day Juice Fast - Day 57 - Johnnie

Today was a great day.  We went to the gym today and worked on core, strength and cardio.  We rode bikes for 5 miles.

After the gym we came back to the house and I helped Dave design and build wooden frames to set the jet skis on so we could get the trailer in the garage and strip it of all its parts so we can sand it down and prep it to paint.  Dave wants to paint the trailer with Rhino Liner paint.

We had Trud's squash soup for our mid-day meal and juice in the evening.

Day 57 - Trudy

Today was a good day.  We went to the gym, did chest, arms and 5 miles on the bike; it was a great workout.  When we got back Johnnie helped Dave build jet ski stands so that they can Rhino Liner the jet ski trailer.  The rest of the night we didn't do much.

Day 56 - Trudy

Today was a good day.  Lazy Sunday.  I did jump on the Trampoline with Talon and Taylor for a little while.  Then I sunbathed for a few hours.

60 Day Juice Fast - Day 56 - Johnnie

Today was a great day.  We spent some time with Dave and Julie.  Talon had his friend over still form last night and they spent most of the day on the trampoline.

Trudy and I hung out and had a lazy day today.

Cravings still seem to be tougher as we near the end.  It's funny that my cravings seem almost as bad now as when we first started.

I still have anxiety about going back to food, about over eating and about my results not being enough.  I know my weight loss to date is great.  I just want to look and see myself looking better; of course that involves a mental change also and those are the toughest changes.


60 Day Juice Fast - Day 60 - Johnnie

True Weight:  259

This is it!!!  The last day!!!  60 Days of Juicing.  60 days without a single solid bite of food.  60 days without a drink.  60 days without going out to eat, snacking or ordering a pizza (that is about to change!) Lol.

Man, today drug by slowly.  It is not so much that I want all kinds of food or that I have tons of cravings; it is more that I just want to chew my food, have a variety of flavors and so on.

All in all today was a great day and I am excited for tomorrow.  I am also crazy proud of us for having done this

This is a total weight loss of 53 pounds!!!

60 Day Juice Fast - Day 55 - Johnnie

Today was a good day, we took it easy.  Ran  few errands and hung out.  We have been reading the Chronicles of Prydain (a great series for all ages) and we are entering the 3rd of 5 books already.

Talon had Taylor stay over tonight.  They have been going all day.

My food cravings have returned with a vengeance!  It seems that perhaps my food baby is not dead yet.  Stubborn little bastard.

We had Trudy's pea soup (puree') for dinner and as always, it was delicious.  FYI, peas have a fairly high protein count so that is good for building muscles.

I also spent some time with just talon earlier today.  It was fun.  We went to a trading card store in Ft. Worth.  He got Pokemon cards and I got Magic cards.

We came back to the house and Julie had picked up his training wheels.  So, I spent a couple of hours helping him learn to ride his bike.  He is, like all kids at first, afraid to just let go and ride.  However, he was getting it and doing well.  The training wheels are meant for smaller kids though and bend if he puts too much pressure on them.  I will have to ask my Dad if he can make some heavy duty ones so Talon can relax and ride.

Day 55 - Trudy

Today was a good day.  We didn't do much today because it was Saturday.  Cravings are starting to comer back in the final 5 days.  I think that I will have a hold on it though.  Julie and I went and got a pedi this afternoon.  Johnnie was trying to help Talon learn how to ride his bike today, he is making progress but it is slow.

60 Day Juice Fast - Day 54 - Johnnie

Today was a good day.  I have been struggling all day today and not sure why.  My body temp was really low and I could not get warm.  I was cold to the core and felt simply run down.  I am not sure if this was some left over effect from the day before with the no juice workout fiasco or not.

All day was spent in the room pretty much due to my ill feelings and inability to maintain any sort of body temp.

We read this evening and cuddled under the blankets together.

We also talked more of the hot dog cart and are considering building our own.I will call Chris tomorrow and see if he would be willing to help me get it done.  That way we can build it when we go back home the last couple of weeks in March.

Day 54 - Trudy

Today was a good day.  We didn't go to the gym today because Johnnie wasn't feeling well.  We went to Wal-Mart to see how much the heart rate monitors were; we didn't end up buying them because we wanted to see if we could find them cheaper online. We laid low the rest of the day.
