You're my best friend! Right now, anyway. ;) Steven and I went by the Urgent Care clinic at our doctors' group yesterday, and I'd lost 6 more pounds! That's 11 since I start juicing 9 days prior. That means 26-1/2 total since we started with our nutritionist. However, the scale said he weighed the same thing he did before we started juicing, and I KNOW that's not the case. You can tell in his clothes, they're falling off. So, he thinks it's 10-15 pounds heavy. So, by THAT scale, we've both lost around 30-35. Either way, I'll take it! Our friend Jessica told us yesterday when we walked into church that she could tell we'd lost weight. (Love her!) My parents had said the other day that they could tell as well. I can tell my pants legs are much baggier, and Steven said he could tell my stomach was shrinking. His is, too, and that's where he carries most of his weight.
We went to Asheville this weekend and hit a couple of farmers' tailgate markets on college campuses, one market/juice bar, and a restaurant/juice bar. Didn't get many new juice ideas, but we did have some yummy juice. One was apple/orange/carrot, and the other was apple/pear/orange with sweet Red Delicious apples. Yummy! We spent quite a bit less on produce than we did the previous week at Earth Fare, but we don't think it will be a weekly trip, because it's about an hour drive. He bought me some flowers, too, though! :)
We meet again tonight with Marie, and I'm excited to tell her about the loss. I also need to talk to her about my skin. My face is really drying out and breaking out, it's weird. I thought it would be really balanced with all these nutrients I'm taking in, but maybe it's something simple I can do.
Gotta get some foot pain relief before this Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in late October. I really wanna do this, and I'm doing it timed -- only so I can have a bib to hang on the wall and say, "YOU did that!" :)
