Juice Plus+ Diary
Well, I can now safely say it was the best decision I ever made! I have always been a size 10-12 and although interested in eating healthily and exercising, never that motivated. I also had a lot of issues with my energy. I would often find myself completely lacking in energy and I would often get dizzy spells.
So, I decided to make that change! I am quite an organised person and I really enjoyed reading all the information that was sent to me and planning my meals for the first week. I really enjoyed this process although to be honest I did get a little obsessed with the recipes and probably spent a lot more money on food then I needed to!
I was having a fancy healthy recipe every night when infact a simple fish, vegetables and boiled potatoes would have done! In the detox stage I didn't actually do any regular exercise. Although I did feel great from eating so healthily I still wasn't brain motivated - I struggle with this! Once I get going I'm really into it but it takes me a while to get exercise mad! The detox stage was great.
It was just simply re-training your diet to be healthy, understanding what foods are good etc. I lost 6lbs in the 2 weeks I was on detox. I have to say this first day was actually really difficult. I had my morning shake (Vanilla, Soya Milk and Blueberries) it was lovely. I also took the Capsules, great. I had a morning snack (oatcakes and avocado), lunch (Shake of banana and choc), afternoon snack (nuts and raisins) and for dinner I had the Portabello Mushroom recipe (listed in my Healthy Recipes section) which was ridiculously yummy!
I just wanted to keep eating! I text my friend Allan who is also on the diet and had been for a few weeks and he said just keep drinking water and you will get through it, it's just your body getting used to it all. And he was right.
I powered through and I literally haven't had a single hard day since. The beauty of this diet is that you are not starving yourself, you are eating regularly and healthily so you never go hungry. About 3-4 mornings a week I am following some of the home workouts and working out for about an hour and a half (getting up early!). But then I wanted more!
I am totally in the workout mode! Now in my 6th week, I have lost over a stone. I am loving food (healthy food), and I am LOVING exercise! My energy levels are amazing, I never get my dizzy spells any more and my make up artist (I'm a performer) has commented on how different and amazing my skin is.
I think even when I have finished the plan I will keep it in my life as it is amazing. Be strong - stick to it, it's so worth it! Don't compare yourself to others. This was my main issue. I was seeing all these success stories and thinking, she's lost a stone in 2 weeks, why haven't I?
Everyone looses weight in different ways. Look at how it is working for you, you will definitely see results! Don't obsess over numbers/inches. Weigh yourself every 1-2 weeks. Make sure it is first thing in the morning, straight after a wee! Make sure you are wearing the same outfit/or nothing each week.
And make sure your scales are on a flat surface and in the same area each week. The other day I weighed myself in a different room in my house and it said something different to what it did in the kitchen! It was only a matter of a couple of lbs but it did make me panic! Understand how YOU work! If you are not the kind of person who likes going out for a run, then don't! Start with some home workouts!
I don't appreciate not bring notified that there was an error. I can't even go to the store and buy the book. Not impressed at all and I didn't even get to try the diet. That's good news. It's a shame your husband backed out as it would have been good support for each other. I am on day 3 and have taken off 4 lbs my husband backed out on me but that's ok.
