32 Pounds Down

I lost a total of 32 lbs. during my 60 Day Juice Fast Challenge.

The battle continues...

*The 2 before photos were taken on my 5 day cruise to Cozumel, Mexico and Bahamas. I started my juice fast 3 days after returning.

Time for another reward! :)

Juice Fast 60/60

Today is the final day of my 60 Day Juice Challenge. With the support and encouragement from my family, friends and onlookers I succeeded. Yay!!

It was definitely a challenge at times, but I was determined to see it through.  I think my weakest moments were during my PMS cravings. I craved salt (plain potato chips to be exact). Those cravings almost did me in...a beast! Haha.  I'll definitely continue juicing, especially since I still have a fridge full of fruits & veggies.*smile*

I was confined to my bed over the weekend (cramps), but I still managed to get my juice in (thanks to the hubby). I need to tighten up on my water intake though! Ughhh. Oh yeah, I lost 9 lbs. ;-) 96 more to go...


Energy Level: Great

Cravings: a Grilled Cheese Sandwich & Salad  (PMS)

Vacation 2013- I gained 4 lbs!!!

This week my husband and I celebrated our Anniversary on a 5 day cruise to Cozumel, Mexico and Castaway Cay, Bahamas.  We had a blast!!! We relaxed, dined, relaxed and dined some more. The food and service were *****.  Needless to say, I gained a few lbs...4 to be exact. Oh well, I'm not going to beat myself with a bat because when I tell you it was worth it, IT WAS WORTH IT!!  ;-)

Pictured below are some of our appetizers, entrées, and desserts.
