The Hunger Games

May the odds ever be in my favour!


LOL. So this isn't a post about the actual book or movie.  It is actually about the Juice Challenge.  I have decided to partake in this cleanse and I seriously feel as if it is "The Hunger Games."


Eh, so this is Day 1. 


I'm extremely hungry.  I mean, I am usually hungry but this time it is ridiculous.  Usually I am hungry and then I can eat within an hour [at most]! Today, I am hungry but I know better than to eat. It is one of the worst feelings in the world.

So, if you have seen the documentary "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" then you have seen the great healing properties that the men experienced when they juiced.  They had more energy, their diseases went into remission and they lost weight!

I really feel as if I need to accomplish all three of those goals.

1. This whole school year I have completed 0 credit hours whilst registering for 30+.  I need to have the energy to complete college and then to also strive while I am in my profession.
2. This illness, Crohn's Disease, needs to die a tragic death.  I am talking about a Romeo and Juliet death.  I don't want to be on maintenance medicine for this illness.  I want it to be gone from my body.  Yes, I do understand that it is a chronic illness but I know people who suffered for a few months to a few years and then went into forever remission.
3. I weighed myself this morning. Drum Roll Please... 215.6. Now, while that isn't horrible for me, it definitely is NOWHERE near where I want to be in life. My goal weight is 150, even though I would personally be comfortable around 170. 

So back to Day 1...

Today is a hard day.  It is only 4 o'clock but I am fiending for some food.  I woke up and drank some Odwalla Supergreen and also some water.  Besides drinking that I took a boatload of vitamins, which I will list tomorrow.  Besides drinking the Odwalla, I also drank a Real Energy from Arden's Garden.

So, I walked downstairs and decided that I will cheat on my cleanse and eat one meal per day. Well, this cleanse must be for me because the swine was gone!  So, I decided to go shopping and get the cabbage that was still on sale for $0.29 per pound. I also purchased some Pomegranate Juice, more Odwalla Supergreen and that is really it.  Nothing major.  My dad got the frozen pretzels and some Tasty Kake Juniors.  yumm.

When I got home, I had to cook dinner for the family.  I ended up making some of my barbeque chicken, which smells delicious.  So tonight, I am going to juice some cabbage, carrots, and apples plus a dash of pomegranate juice.
