Day 431

25 pounds.

Unfortunately I can't report that I've lost 25 pounds. Can't even report that hubby has lost 25 pounds. But I can report I've lost 19 pounds and hubs has lost 17 pounds in the six weeks since we started juicing. Not too shabby considering...
  • We've eaten a bunch of times at Alejandra's.
  • I went to Chinese with my mom and daughter.
  • Hubby ate at a bbq at school.
  • We had hamburgers one night.
  • We went to Sisters and enjoyed marionberry pie and steak and hamburgers and pizza at dinner (along with the juice at breakfast and lunch, of course).
  • My daughter kept me supplied with Peeps.
  • The granola bars that have been sitting in our cabinet for months have mysteriously disappeared. (I only know this because I was hunting for one the other day myself.)

But we have been consistent in our juicing. Every breakfast, every lunch, and sometimes at dinner. Lots of veggies and fruits have permeated our systems. Kale, red and white chard, bok choy, spinach, cabbage, beets and beet greens, celery, carrots, zucchini, cucumbers, kiwi, apples, pears, lemons, grapes, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and red, orange, and green bell peppers. Pounds and pounds of them every week.

But where did the 25 pounds come from? That's the amount of just carrots we go through each week. The apple in the picture shows just how big of a bag that is.

  1. Well done! That's a lot of weight in 6 weeks! I don't even know if I can buy carrots in 25# bags here. LOL. You have piqued my interest about juicing though. I'm thinking we could at least do this for breakfast and supper. Our noon meal is our big meal and not sure we're reasy to give up our steak. We're ranchers after all. :) Did you buy a book or gather your info online? My Mom has a juicer that she never uses and if she though we would, she would hand it over.Congratulations to both of you and keep up the good work! I'm excited about how you're feeling better.
