Day 8

Last night I had yet another appalling night sleep filled with nightmares and it was really windy so I kept waking up. But, I don't care because today was fantastic because, I weighed myself again. I was so scared and nervous. So, before I started this I weighed 12.5 stone (78.9 kg) and now I weigh 11.4 stone (72.6 kg)!!!! In just a week I've lost so much weight. I was so shocked that I couldn't speak - me lost for words. Now that I'm on juice only, hopefully I will lose even more. But, it's not just about that (although it's a huge part) I feel so much better in myself which is fantastic.

So, I'm planning ahead for the next set of five days and I've managed to make an order with the Organic Collective which I'm incredibly excited about because it means I'll be having, local, organic, carbon neutral food! Robbie is joining me on the last leg of the journey and he doesn't want to lose any weight but does want to have the nutritional benefits. So, we've ordered triple the amount we'd usually have. This means he'll double the intake of juice. I'll post pictures of the delivery tomorrow. 

I don't know what it is about the sweetness of sweet vegetables that is so unbearable for me. Whenever there are too any carrots it makes my face turn. Then the combination of beetroot and carrot in the sunrise juice is quite gross. It's not unbearable but I've been really looking forward to my peach delight. My attempt at making it today is far more delicious. I juiced the berries instead of mashing them and the difference is massive. A much smoother juice with far more flavour. 

 Something else that I've noticed whist doing the reboot is that my skin is less oily as well as my hair which is a very welcome change. I just hope it doesn't mean I'm starting to get dry skin. If this does happen it would mean I'm not getting enough fat in my diet. If that's the case I will be investing in some foods containing healthy fats such as, nuts, avocados and flax seeds once I've finished my fasting. I've been looking at blogs for healthy recipes for when I've finished my reboot and a lot of them claim to be healthy when they're not. They're healthier than the things we buy in shops but, people seem to live under the misapprehension that no sugar means healthy. So, it's something to look out for and be aware of.

Finishing off a very positive day, I am looking forward to the next week and what it brings.  See you tomorrow!
