Are you ready???
So... I got on the scales this morning and lost a further 2.3kg that means over all I lost 8.6kg which is equivalent to 1.35 stone! Yay! I'm so pleased to have lost weight so quickly and kick start my journey towards a more balanced lifestyle and healthier body. Seeing as today was my first day of food, Robbie and I went out to eat. I ate some wheat and dairy as well as drinking some coffee and it was a huge mistake. It went straight through me and felt like it was taking my organs as it did. Awful! None of those things again :( Even though I was craving during the juicing, today when I could eat those things I didn't really want them or feel the desperate need for the things I craved. I also had much smaller portions of food! Result.
This was just the beginning of my journey so, I'm not just going stop here. I'm going to carry on posting info on my weightloss, food I'm making, health tips and any other discoveries I make that are related. I'm going to do reviews of the juices I had and give some more information about them too!
Thank you for all your support during this part of the journey. I would have found it a million times harder without it. So, THANK YOU!
Here are the before and after photos.

Day 14 (1 more day to go)
I'm so excited that tomorrow is my last day - words do not suffice!
This morning we walked to Kalamunda and went to the farmers market. We could smell so many gorgeous things cooking: bread, pastries, sausages, burgers, bacon, cakes, muffins and so much more. It was torture walking by all these yummy looking things. Especially after the walk. There was a very nice guy who had a meat stand. He kept on tempting us to taste the samples he had on his stall. I explained how we were fasting and had come to purchase some things to have once we have finished. He asked what our fast involved and I explained and he was very impressed and encouraging! It turns out he's a naturopath so we got talking about all sorts of things and then another lady, who's a personal trainer, joined in. They both had said that they strongly recommend the paleo diet. The guy's bacon just smelled so amazing, we had to get some. It was so lovely to meet like minded people that were so encouraging. Afterwards we bought some vegetables. They were SO much cheaper at the farmers market compared to the supermarket. If you can, do your grocery shopping at a local farmers market. We couldn't believe the difference. For example, avocados cost $4.58 each in the supermarket and they cost $2.50 at the farmers market!
I felt really sick this evening after having one of the juices which was crammed with cucumber. It made me feel awful. I usually eat cucumber to stop me from feeling sick. It was awful. I got to the point where it was sheer will that stopped me from throwing up. The next juice was going to be the juice of half a watermelon. I couldn't drink any more liquid so I folded. I ate the slices of water melon. I thought seeing as the original state of the fruit is very similar to the juice itself, I didn't think I was completely letting myself down. Afterwards I didn't feel sick anymore. So, I hope this won't hinder me too much.
Other than that the only thing I have left to say is, YAAAAY TOMORROW'S THE LAST DAY!

Day 13
Hello again,
I was making some progress today with making a food plan for when I finish the reboot so I don't just fall back into old habits. Until, I suddenly felt very light headed and became incredibly depressed. I cried and cried about, I don't know what exactly... So many things! Luckily, Robbie came to my rescue and got me to snap out of it by being very kind and encouraging. Thank God!
I mentioned yesterday that I was going to try making my own juice. See it here. I put 2 sweet potatoes, 12 plums, 3 cups of raspberries and 2 apples. It had a smooth consistency and it wasn't too sweet like some of the juices I've had. It was a twist on the peach delight that I really enjoy. The weird thing about the version I made is that it was really, really starchy! I think it would be perfect without the sweet potato.
Tomorrow we're going to the farmers market in Kalamunda to get some, hopefully, delicious and nutritious food for us to have when we break the fast! I really hope it's good because I'm really excited about eating and I've created a huge expectation.
See you tomorrow!
