Well I made it through the weekend thank you Lord, I didn't know if I would make and it was easier than I thought it would be. I am now ending Day 7 of my juicing and there is only 3 more to go. I am not hungry or tired from just doing juice, but I just want to chew some food. I have lost as of this morning 10 lbs and though I wasn't doing this for the weight loss it is a plus. So my next step is adding some real food to actually eat like beans, nuts and of course fruits and veggies. I admit I am a little nervous about adding food, my fear is I will be back in the over eating mode. However I know that if I can with self control sit by someone eating a burger and just drink my juice that I can control how much and what I am eating.
So I now have to face a new challenge, that is my Husband being on his 4 days off which since I am a social eater and that is what we tend to do when he is home makes me a little worried! Also we are going to the movies to see The Lion King in 3D on Saturday and I have yet to figure out what I will snack on while everyone else eats buttery popcorn, yummy nachos and drinks cherry coke!!
Back to Day 7....I have had plenty of energy the past 3 days and I decided to go to the gym, and since last week I was helping my Mom pack and take stuff to storage for her that was my exercise. So today went well at the gym I did 35 mins of cardio and then did some weights chest/back and some abs. I didn't want to over do it since I am not actually eating just getting my nutrients through my juice, but I was surprised that I had energy to workout and not feel like passing out so weird. So I will post again soon if not tomorrow and keep praying for me as I continue on and to those who are struggling to lose/maintain weight or just trying to live a healthier life get in God's Word that is the best encouragement you could find.

Side note: To those who leave me comments I have yet to figure this thing out and for some reason I can not comment back I have no idea what I am doing wrong!
