Resetting my metabolism

I am in the process of resetting my metabolism and shrinking my stomach. This past Monday, I had every intention of doing a 2 day juice fast- the one my best friend did from Arden's Garden in a previous post. Throughout the day, I had hunger pains at time, but I would get over them. At 6 pm, I had to eat something, plus my brother made my favorite spinach for dinner (sauteed spinach in red wine vinegar with pecans and feta cheese but of course I didn't put feta cheese on it for Lent). I think that he secretly wanted me to eat solid food because he knew exactly what I intended to do for these two days. So, for the rest of the week, I decided that I would enjoy this juice concoction as much as possible for two meals a day and see what would happen.

Wednesday check: Weight- 131.4 lbs, 26% body fat- exactly the same weight I was a week ago, which is great after the craziness I ate last week and weekend (I was in a wedding in Houston and overdosed on cake).

Friday check: 130.2 lbs, 25.5% body fat- good progress for only two days.

So far, I am extremely pleased with this way of eating/drinking. It curbs my appetite and reduces all my cravings for chocolate. I actually crave vegetables because I'm drinking fruit juice the rest of the day. It's like the slim fast plan ("just drink a shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch, and enjoy a sensible dinner." Plus, I still have energy to complete my regular workouts. I notice that I'm a little slow in the mornings, but by night time I'm ready for a run. I also have not craved coffee or alcohol at all. Yes, this is all very new to me. But, for right now, I'm going to go with it and see how much weight I can lose. Tomorrow is weigh-in. I'm not going to get all depressed if it's over 130.2 because I did go to a Brazilian steakhouse for Easter lunch today. I think I got enough iron for a week! Happy Easter!
