Wow, wow, wow...what a day.
Today just sucked.
One of mine and Anton's longtime guy "friends" took me out to sushi today so I didn't juice in the morning. I did weigh in before we went, though, and the Wii said that I was down to 140.7!! I was back to losing a pound a day so in a way, wasn't looking forward to sushi.
Despite this, we had a great time, talking about Battlestar Galactica, current movies, and tv shows like we always do. He was feeling generous and paid for my lunch and I thought he was being really nice.
Long story short, he took me back home and he made a move on me. Luckily, I figured out what was going on and I was able to block his move. That has never happened to me before. I lost a friend today and I felt hurt and disrespected. I had no choice but to tell Anton. Anton made it clear to this guy that he's not to talk to me, look at me, nothing with me ever again. He had motives all along, though he knew I'm happy. It actually brought Anton and I closer together. It sounds so wrong, but as a girlfriend, it was really hot watching my guy get enraged about some other guy trying to make a move on me. It reminded me how in love with him I am. I guess the juicing is really working because I guess I'm lookin' good!
I was in a weird funk for the rest of the night. Anton was hungry and wanted...sushi. I was still a little full from sushi with my former friend but wanted Anton to have the same food experience and let's be honest - I could eat sushi all day long.
Anton and I also really needed this time together after the day's previous events.
We had a great time and returned home. I felt guilty about the fact that I hadn't juiced at all today for the first time since we started and I felt uncomfortably full. Anton suggested that we do the 20 minute run on the Wii Fit. I agreed and it was a great run. I noticed that running is easier for me. I'm finding it easier to breathe and I don't get worn out as easily as before. I have really been enjoying doing yoga and I love how it makes me feel afterwards. I'm starting to feel "in shape." I've never felt like this before and it feels good.
Because I was so full, unfortunately, I didn't juice at all. It was on my mind, though, and I didn't like it. I'm so glad that the weekend is here and that I get to be with Anton.

Day Fifteen
I had such a good time from doing yoga last night, that I decided to try out the yoga on the Wii Fit. I was expecting to feel really sore from my workout, but I think because of the yoga I did before the workout, I stretched so much that I got all the kinks worked out beforehand. My upper arms are just a tad sore but I was expecting to be in agony today. My legs, torso and arms feel pretty damn good!
I contacted my friend that I went with to see how she was doing and she said she felt great, too and that she wasn't as sore as she thought she would be. We have decided to go back to yoga class every Sunday morning and every Wednesday evening, which will get us to the gym twice a week! This is a huge deal, and I'm so excited. We are going to hold each other accountable and this will be a great way for me to insure that I leave the house.
After yoga on the Wii, I did another weigh in and I'm down to 142.0 pounds! I'm back to losing about a pound a day and it feels great to be making progress again. I'm well on my way to loving my body and feeling extremely healthy. I can't believe I've lost 8 pounds so far, with cheating a little bit.

Day Fourteen
Today was an amazing day! My friend called me and asked if I would like to go to a yoga class with her at my gym. It's funny, because almost automatically, I tried to think of any reason why I shouldn't go, and I couldn't come up with anything. I found myself getting really excited and I ended up preparing for the trip all day! I washed all of my workout clothes, got my gym back ready, and also had a beauty day. I did a face mask, and hair removal and I felt renewed.
We got to the gym and got our mats for the class. I was expecting it to be relaxing and easy but I was wrong. The first few minutes were just laying on our backs, breathing, but after that, things got cray cray! It started to get really hot in the room and we were moving from pose to pose so fast and the poses were really hard! I found myself sweating and feeling really challenged, but I loved it! I loved how fast-paced it was and I felt every single muscle in my body stretching! This was an hour long class that made my friend and I feel so limber and flexible that we decided to go work out. We did 25 minutes of cardio on the elliptical that nearly killed us but I felt so great that I was moving for once. I hadn't been to the gym in about a year though I pay for the membership every month. It also felt great to finally get my money's worth. We tanned and showered and felt like new people. It was the most fun I'd had in such a long time and I couldn't believe that I was having fun at the gym! It was such a cool experience and I felt like my friend and I got closer. We were both really into it and had so much fun.
I got onto the Wii Fit when I got home and weighed in at 143 pounds! After my sushi and wasabi pea excursion, I was pretty pleased to see how far down I went.
PS- No wasabi peas today; not a single one. My tongue is very thankful. It's healing pretty quickly if I leave it alone!

Day Thirteen
Today, I did very good!! I drank a ton of water and though I did eat some wasabi peas, but I cut back in a major way. Mainly because I had to, my tongue is in quite a bit of pain. I have to let it heal itself, which I know it will do quickly if I just lay off the sauce!
I had a banana for breakfast and then I had some mean green for lunch. I just weighed in on the Wii and it says I'm still 144. That's cool, considering I've been kind of cheating lately and have had so many wasabi peas. My little reward time is over. This is the halfway mark, and I really want to see some progress again. It's funny, while I would really really like something to eat, it's not a cheeseburger anymore. If I do want something to eat, it's veggie sushi. I don't have a desire for fatty things as much anymore. I think if I were to want something like that, it would only be a small bite but it's starting to not look very appealing.
I don't mind not eating and I crave the veggies. I'm going to try to stay away from the wasabi peas for a few days and stick to fruits and veggies. I really don't mind anymore, I think I can do it. I've been good today, so I'll be interested in tomorrow's weigh in. I'll let you know what happens. :)
I had a pretty productive day. I got some writing done and some letters done that I've been meaning to send, and I even filled out the warranty card for my juicer! I finally got some housework done. Looking around the house is the thing that has made me realize how difficult this has been because I really let the house go. The laundry was piling up, the kitchen counters were getting gross and I haven't swept in a while. It felt good to look around after I was done.
I know I said I was going to go into detail about why I decided to do this diet, but I don't know if I'm ready to share that with the world yet. I've told some of my closer friends, but it's a pretty personal thing to share on a blog for any Tom, Dick, or Joe to see, but I will know when I'm ready and it will be something that will wind up on here eventually. Hang tight, amigos. It will be worth the wait.

Day Twelve
Ugh, Anton and I are sushi whores lately. We need to stop. We went out for sushi again tonight. We had vegetarian but our bodies are getting too used to eating again. We've stopped the fasting process, I'm sure. I gained a pound back. It makes me want to be really good again. Anton and I have had our fun but we're paying for it. Now, we are feeling more hungry than we did before and I'm still not letting my tongue heal because I still can't stop eating the wasabi peas.
As far as juice goes, I've only really had the mean green juice. I like the way it tastes, and it has a lot of great stuff in it, so I haven't really branched out but maybe that's part of my problem. I probably need to try a couple other things to keep it exciting.

Day Eleven
Sunday. I woke up feeling weird Not really "hungover". I was expecting to feel much worse for how drunk I was. I just felt a little foggy, but no headache or tummy ache. I think because I've been taking care of my body, my liver can process the alcohol much better than it could before.
My back is feeling better and better each day. My tongue still burns from the wasabi peas. I can't stop eating them so I haven't given it a chance to heal. I may need to stop eating these...if I could. Ahhhhhh, they are my crack, I can't stop!!

Day Ten
Today is Saturday, I got to talk to my mom and I told her about the progress I've made and about our great experience with the sushi and how good it was.
She told me about something I might like called wasabi peas. I looked up the nutrition facts and they aren't horrible for you. I thought it would be a good snack for me to have since you can eat a ton of them before they're bad for for you. I thought something spicy to have in my mouth would be good while I struggle with the cravings.
Oh boy. My mom didn't know what she started.
I went out and bought some and ate so many that my taste buds became inflamed.
We did our veggie shopping for the whole week today. We spend about $100 for the two of us per week. We are getting better at shopping. We know how much of everything we like to use per day, so we know how much we need. You get a lot of veggies for $100...
Anton and myself had a little wine this night. A little wine really goes a long way since I haven't had any alcohol in so long and since there's very little in my tummy. I got really drunk and passed out. I probably should not have had any wine but felt I deserved it.
