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!

Day 7
Hey,
Last night I continued to feel ill and I slept terribly. I was talking loads in my sleep and had nightmare after nightmare. When I woke up this morning I felt rubbish so I realised I needed to work out what was wrong. I had a think about what was making me so ill then, I remembered that a few years ago that I used to have coconut oil in the mornings and a few hours later I would feel really sick. So, I decided I don't want to have anymore coconut water. Today I haven't had any and I feel great. I didn't struggle like yesterday which was brilliant.
This morning I made a green juice that I really enjoyed having. I enjoyed it even more because it was green and the green juices are better for you. It was green citrus juice and it's fantastic because it only has 3 ingredients - apple, orange and kale -and is so quick to make. For lunch was sporty spice, which was alright. I think I was put off by how long it took to make. It had beetroot, celery, orange, lemon, carrots and basil leaves. Then for dinner I had peach delight. I wasn't too keen on this recipe as it has raw sweet potato in it. I was nearly going to improvise and make something different but, I decided I needed to try it before I rubbished it. All together the ingredients were, peaches, sweet potato, mixed berries, apple and cinnamon. I loved it! It was the closest thing to food that I've had over the past few days.
Seeing as I didn't feel awful today I thought I would tell you about other things I've noticed and what I've found difficult. My teeth are looking really white and I don't use special toothpaste for that, it must be the reboot. I haven't seen my collar bone for a while but it's starting to reappear, wahoo! I've been craving food and I really miss cooking. I miss the smells and everything else. With juicing it's just the same actions over and over again and it's a bit monotonous. So, I prepared and cooked Robbie's food today and I felt so jealous. Cooking the food is the closest thing I have to eating it. I want to eat. I really, really want to.
I've started writing a blog along side this one and I've put up my first post. It will include all the recipes I have used during my reboot. Once I have finished the reboot I will post other healthy recipes. You can find it here . . . http://tickseasyhealthyrecipes.blogspot.com.au
At the end of today I feel a million times better than yesterday and actually better than I do usually. So, I'm not feeling nervous about tomorrow which hopefully means a good nights sleep! Fingers crossed.
