We both weighed in yesterday. Luis is down a total of 8 pounds in 7 days and I'm down 7 pounds in 10 days. He is sleeping a lot better and my urticaria flare-ups are starting to become less frequent and lasting for less time. It's still really too early to call it a success, but let's just say the results so far have been promising.
We're up against some challenges this week- Luis's bank branch is having their Christmas Party tonight at Chuck-O-Rama (weird name, delicious buffet), and the managers/spouses Christmas Party is on Friday. I'm planning on just having a big salad, which will be cheating a little because I plan on sticking some animal protein in there as well as some salad dressing; it's not cheating enough for me to feel like I"m going to throw myself totally off-track. At the manager's party, I'll probably have a little meat and a big salad. I'm hoping that I can go off a little without totally dropping the ball.
I am surprised, really, at how easy it has been to stick with the juice fast (although I did cheat once with a gingersnap and some chocolate covered cranberries) and at how much better I feel in just a short period of time. Luis is so encouraged that he is planning on sticking with it for the full 30 days, instead of just the 10 he was originally going for.
