Woke up feeling tired which just goes to show that 2230 hrs p.m. is way too late to go to bed when you want to get up at 0400 hrs a.m. I will drink up the leftovers from yesterday’s juice, have a 500 ml cup of lemon water first thing though.
Looking at the scale I was really happy to see it went down again one kg.
Actually I had started juicing around the end of October. I was on vacation for a week and used the time to start a juice fast. On October 28 I began the journey and lost 7 kg (15.4 lbs) during that same week, but much to my disapreciation I didn’t stay on the wagon after I had gone back to work, because making juice in the morning was not possible any longer, since our juicer was too loud. I usually try to get up at 4 a.m. and since we live in a building with neighbors it's quite hard to use the juicer so early in the morning without waking everyone up. But honestly … that of course wasn’t the only reason … i also fell off the wagon, because once I returned home I couldn’t resist the food we still had around, be it silly soups or a piece of bread with vegan cheese. Unfortunately I didn’t eat because I was hungry, I must confess … it was more likely „appetite“ which made me eat. After I ate it I felt terrible … for one, because I knew it was wrong and threw me back one day and two, because I physically felt not well at all.
We were able to change the first reason so far … we decided to buy a good juicer which was also quiet and chose the Omega VRT 400. We bought it three days back on Nov 17 so when I returned home from work today, I found the package in the kitchen. Hubby had built a shelf for storing a few things near the kitchen window while I unpacked our new "treasure" :-) It was really a nice feeling to see the new juicer and I was so anxcious to drink the first juice made with it. To make long things short: The juicer is a dream come true ... quiet, efficient, clean. The first juice was magnificient.
Considering the fact that my feet at times didn’t even fit into my shoes, I’m feeling quite relieved now, because my shoes fit now. I’m using a leg support cushion at night when I go to bed for better lymphatic flow. I also go to bed with a warm water bottle I place on my liver to support its function, so usually when I get up in the morning, my legs are „fairly“ thin nowadays. Of course they grow big again during the day, since I sit on a chair all day while at my office so they store water … lots of water. But iIm hoping it will be better after the juice fast.
