Day 4 detox




It's getting easier to wake up. Eating right makes it easier to get a sound sleep. Which is almost worth it all on its own. I am down a total of 12.2bs in 4 days. I am super excited. I know that the weight loss will slow down but as long as i can lose at least 1 Lb a day i will be happy. So... lets talk about this experience so far.




Yestrerday I went into the store with my mom, and man was that torture. We were walking around and I was trying my best not to look at anything because, I was craving anything at that point. We walked past Pickeled stuff and cookies and crackers, But the hardest was walking past the Deli. All I could smell when Iwalked past was the Fried chicken. I wanted it so bad. I had to go out of the store because i was getting so hungry and so cranky because I couldn't have it. SEEING THE SCALE IS WORTH IT. I had to tell myself this over and over to stop feeling the way I felt. Finally we left the store with the car packed full of fruits and veggies so I was happy.




After the store we headed to the local farmers market. It was full of all kinds of local and organic fruits and veggies. It all looked so good I couldn't wait to get home and juice my dinner. With a CAR LOAD we headed home. When we got home and unloaded the food. My step dad made his dinner then I took the juicer apart to clean it when i went to put it back together the blade just kept spinning... UGH the threading the holds the blade in had finally broke. "Mom i think the juicer is broken". Her first words were " Guess we are making a Wal-Mart trip". We had just ordered A brand new juicer from amazon that my aunt got for us but it wasnt going to be here till Monday and we couldnt not survive that long without juice. So we went and bought a cheesey one until our new one came and we could return it. Just to get us by.




FINALLY we got home with it and i finally was able to make my dinner. I looked up recipied yesterdays for raw V8 and other juices. One of the ones i came across was Apple pie juice. It was 4 apples juiced and 1 carrot juiced. Before you Juice though you put 1/2 tsp or cinnimon and 1/2 a tsp of nutmeg in the juicer on the blade then serve over ice. I bleded it with ice. MMMM that was delicious. What a yummy way to end another day in the adventures in Juicing.

Suprising Combo

I was getting ready to make my morning day 3 breakfast and i want sure what i wanted. SO i thought Apple Banana. No one thought it was going to be a good combo. So i juice 3 granny smith apples and put them in the blender over ice and put 2 bananas in. After it was done i tried it. They were wrong. it is delicious. They also thought it was good. I think this is my favorite so far.

Morning of Day 3


Woke up this morning feeling more rested then I did yesterday. Not so much of a headache and not so cranky. I don't have much to say yet but i wanted to get my immidiate thoughts written down. Until Next ime

The Journey Begins.




Hello bloggers! My name is Sky Bridges. Some of you may have followed my previous blog or even come here because of a random search. Whichever way it was thank you for reading. This blog is dedicated to a new beginning. I am 22 recently divorced, and recently relocated. I moved to eastern WA with my family to get a fresh start in life and figure out where to go from here.





Some of you may even be reading this because my mom Kai doing her juice fast. Well I am here to tell you that I have officially begun my journey... my 60 or more juice fast. Yesterday was day one. I have already been experiencing the detox side effects. Yesterday i was typing on my computer and all of a sudden I had to lay down to sleep if I didnt want to pass out right there on the computer. I napped for an hour and a half. When I woke up I had a Terrible headache. I had to take ibuprofen because I couldnt stand the pain.


Last night we had meeting and the whole time I just wanted to fall asleep. All I could think about was burgers and BACON. My craving for bacon is so bad that my mom had to forbid one of my brothers for having bacon for a week. It was only day one why was I already having these cravings? Why was my body already experiencing these side effects?


There is only one logical answer. My diet has been so terrible and fed off of such bad foods that its going through withdrawls. Like a druggie trying to clean up I was withdrawing from not having my drug of choice, FOOD. Not just food bad food. It has made me realize that i really need this change. Plus I had to weigh myself yesterday and it was worse then I thought.


I will share my weight after detoxification. I am more determined then ever to complete this journey and make the changes i want and need to change. I will be uploading my videos to youtube in the next few days but I dont feel ready to do that just yet.




Ready, Get Set, GO!!!
