I didn't eat in 4 days jeez

Typed on Sunday......

So yesterday after working out I felt great.....I went and played a winning session and walked to play another one where I found some drunk annoying kid with music blaring outta his earbud that wouldn't shut up. I got a headache and still got it.....I guess some of it may have to do with "stuff" happening with not eating in almost 4 days but he gets 90% of the blame. Today I'm going to start eating though and will probably start off with some soup and whatever else to make sure it all works out well......maybe some eggs and some simple things. I feel great but since I will have to give back the juicer in a few days I might as well start transitioning now. Ummm.....today I weighed 172lbs on the dot so that's exactly 20lbs since the world record in like 3 months. I feel great despite this little lingering headache......I'm kinda anxious to see how I feel once I start eating some normal food and how long it takes to lose this feeling. At the same time I almost have this thought of feeling guilty for possibly eating anything to processed or whatever. I imagine the next few days will still be juice heavy as I try and get rid of all this stuff in the fridge before it goes bad.....Not sure what else I can share.....It still is kinda crazy thinking I didn't eat for 4 days....I have no feeling of being hungry at all and it kind of blows my mind. Anyways.....here's how the last few days were for me as weight and when I started......

Monday- Got home from Durango......weighed like 178.something....
Tuesday- Bought juicing shit.....drank juices mostly....I did eat one piece of salmon in my steamer and some frozen veggies with cheese sauce
Wednesday - Weighed 176.2.......chest/biceps. Juices mostly......also one ribeye with sauteed mushrooms and onions.
Thursday - Weighed 174.6.........45 mins on bike in gym......All juice
Friday - Weighed 173.8.......Legs/Back........All juice.
Saturday- Weighed 173.....45 mins on bike in gym..........ALl juice.
Sunday- Weighed 172.........No workout yet cause of headache......I've had one glass of juice so far today.

Soo.......I guess I'll see how fast I put on weight once I start eating since this is mostly water weight or if I continue to lose some while I'm still juicing the rest of the stuff in the fridge.


Written Monday:

Edit: Well...my headache ended up going away so I went to workout.....and after 2 sets I thought my head was going to explode so I ended up eating 2 hard boiled egg whites and an advil and took a hot shower and a nap. I woke up feeling good and went to Aria for a bowl of chicken noodle soup and then I played a bit....and then to walmart for some things.

Today......Weighed 173.3 ......this was surprising for some reason. I had some carrot/apple juice before class at 830. I wanted to work out after my first class but still can tell there's a lingering headache waiting to come out so it must be from the lack of food or "detox" process. So I had some green juice and then just got finished eating some eggs. I've felt fine after eating each time so I assume that won't be a problem for me which is good. Last night after Walmart I juiced 2 different things....just pure OJ to get rid of this bag of oranges which doesn't seem worth it for how much juice they produced. I also made a cucumber/pear/grape/lime one that I haven't tried yet. Soooo.....

48+ Hours

I guess now it's been a little more than 48 hours since the last time I consumed some food. I woke up and worked out and then finished the rest of yesterdays carrot/apple juice and made another batch of the green stuff after I picked up a few things from the store. I went and played for like 3 hours and came home to drink a glass and ended up taking a litte nap before the Bucks game started. Sooo.....now I'm watching that and will drink another glass before I go back out and play awhile tonight. I have felt really good... Just a empty/light feeling which I guess you'd expect but it's hard to describe. I seemed to feel a little tired earlier when I got home which led to the nap but I don't know that it's from not eating or just being bored with an hour to kill before the Bucks game started.

One thing that really does stand out is how sore I am from working out. I assume this is from lack of protein especially since I was eating a lot of protein and drinking protein shakes before and after working out every day. I knew this was going to happen so I decreased weight the last few days so I didn't over do anything. I guess someone that's obese and hasn't done shit besides eat ice cream for the last 8 years wouldn't really have to worry about the working out too hard part but whatever. Ummm....another thing is about refrigerating fresh juice. A lot of things say a lot of good stuff is lost soon after the juicing.....I have no idea.....It works well for me loading up the jug and being able to pour throughout the day but I'd imagine the sooner you drank it the better.....

I need to make a fruit heavy juice sometime just to get rid of all this shit I bought. I had no idea what I was doing the first time since I just got home and read recipes and things that stuck in my mind were bought in quantities. I think a strawberry/kiwi/pear/grape something or another to clear this stuff out. I did buy stuff for another day or two worth of the green stuff earlier so we'll see. Maybe I'll be done tomorrow after 3 whole days of not eating....I have no idea...it's hard to decide.......in a way I'd like to see what the 5-10-20 etc days is like.....but I have no goal so it's hard to keep going especially if I lose strength/muscle in the meantime which is more of why I was working out in the beginning. At the same time to dip in the 165ish region would be crazy since that's like high school numbers I think. Another huge part is the transition from juicing back to regular food and I don't wanna go through that......so that means this will probably be over sooner than later....the last thing I wanna deal with is eating baby food and whatever other shit I'd have to do to get my body back to digesting normally.....I still wouldn't mind having some sort of juicer around to juice whether its just for a glass for the hell of it or as a meal replacement type thing as everything I've made has tasted good besides the all fruit concoction I whipped together and that was just too much going on and was too sour/tart. The best part about it is I really don't even know what kale or spinach juice tastes like which is the answer to get through any of this.

Things I wouldn't mind eating but am not physically craving.....Sushi, Yellow Curry, Lox bagel.....Chicken Parm from Grand Lux....beef jerky...maybe tomorrow.......maybe not.....

Ummmm......Strawberries/Grapes/Pear/Kiwi isn't a bad mix

Juicing?!?!

First of all.....for any new friends that may have never seen this URL in their address bar before....this was my old blog.....I deleted it all awhile ago figuring nobody would want to read about bad beats and blackouts from years ago. Secondly....if you don't know.....Spinabifida isn't my small foot.....that's a clubbed foot.....but it is what caused it (besides my mom).....feel free to google it.

Reasons why I'm writing this....

1. So my mom doesn't call me asking questions.
2. So my mom doesn't call me asking questions.
3. So my mom doesn't call me asking questions.
4. So my mom doesn't call me asking questions.
5. So my mom doesn't call me asking questions.
6. So my mom doesn't call me wondering if I'm alive.
7. Someone might wanna try it at some point.

Things you will not see while reading this blog......

1. Naked pictures of my physique chronicling it's changes.
2. Pictures of my little foot.

How did it come to this....

After getting back from the Rose Bowl I realized at some point I weighed 192lbs which was the world record for myself. I blame all of this due to not going to school in Fall and sitting around playing poker and drinking everyday. I also hadn't worked out since like early 2011 when I screwed up my bad shoulder while lifting. Anyways.....I started eating better in January but figured I would start working out once my birthday weekend was over since it'd be a nice clean slate.....and clean slates are all that matters. On 2/22 I weighed 182.8 and on 3/28 before I left for Durango I weighed 176.6.....I was also completely sober since 2/19...at least once the booze from the night before wore off. Soo.....this was more about getting in shape than losing poundage I guess but they go with one another when you are at a world record as I was.......sooo how did I start drinking green shit?!?

My buddy agreed to do a weight loss prop bet for 50lbs in 6 months which I didn't bet on. At some point he found out his friend lost like 32lbs in 30 days from doing a complete juice fast. He had also told me about the movie "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead". I watched that movie because I saw it on Hulu one night and I became intrigued but figured I'd see how he did on his little fast thing since I had no interest in it. My buddy went out and bought this $300 juicer and puked after the first glass of the popular "green" juice. I found this pathetic. He is out of town and said I could borrow it and find something he would be able to drink to win this bet. I figured since it was spring break and I ain't got shit to do I'd screw around with the thing. I have now found out he made the one glass of green stuff that made him puke without apples......I would imagine it wouldn't taste good. Ummmm......I don't know too much about this juice fasting stuff outside of that movie and reading a few things online while looking for recipes. I was weirded out about the whole not eating aspect and just drinking juice. I figured I'd mix a few in here and there and see what happens while on break. I made the first juices 2 days ago......and on both days I only ate once...obviously the next step is just seeing if you really could go without eating and here we are. Yesterday I made a ribeye that I had bought at the store the previous day not thinking I would try to go without eating but I haven't eaten since then which is just over 27 hours probably. I think I've had 5 glasses of juice since then. If I can get through one day....maybe I'll do two......I have had no plans or expectations when I got this juicer so whatever happens happens.....I was just intrigued by all of it and got nothing to lose.
