Juicin' along

Well folks, I was talking to Tiffany on Tuesday and the subject of juicing came up. She said "Robyn you could do it too." I had never thought of myself living off just juice for 8 whole days. But, when she said that, I couldn't get it off my mind. I thought about it, prayed about it and I woke up on Wednesday and poured my bowl of "Oh's" and it tasted BLAH. My body was actually craving the juicing idea. So I talked to Tiffany and told her I was going to start on Thursday and bought a bunch of veggies and fruit. And I actually did what I set out to do, which is unlike me. haha I started juicing on Thursday so I am on day 4 and I have had my ups and downs (even ask my poor kids). But I'm still chugging along. So, for this week I have lost 2 lbs. We'll see if I make it to Thursday. Last night I was SO emotional, all of the kids went to bed crying and so did I. I had a talk with Steve and he told me I had done enough and that I should think about stopping. I get VERY angry when I am hungry. If I was single and didn't have to get snacks and make meals for everyone, I think I'd do ok. But this is soooo hard. It's not for the weak, I promise you that. Wish me luck!

  2. Robyn, if you need to munch on something, go ahead! Grab a carrot, celery, apple, eat away! You were gonna juice it anyway. Maybe that would help you feel like you're not just drinking all the time and lift your mood a little? I haven't done too good the past 3 days and my stomach feels terrible because of it! I need to juice more often, I felt awesome! I just won't be doing it as extreme. It's called a "fast" which means it won't last forever! Happy Hump Day Robyn, you're almost there! The juicing didn't make me too ornery but this Prednisone sure does, so I know your pain. Ugh.

  3. Way to go Robyn. I think it's awesome just to take control of your body, even if it doesn't last the whole time. You are in control of you! Way to go on the 2 pounds. So awesome!!!!!!!!!!
