My Last Week

It's been a long 6 weeks... almost.  My final weigh in for my competition is this Saturday.  
So far I've lost 16.3 lbs!  Not too shabby if I so say so myself for 5 weeks.

My last week's strategy has been a tough one to figure out.  I want to loose the absolute most weight possible in the shortest amount of time.  I want to win that IPad!

So, I've decided to do a mini juice cleanse.  Juicing will:
1) Will it completely empty out my insides. Gross poop fact, the stuff inside your intestines waiting to leave your body, can weigh up to 10 lbs!
2) Remove any toxins in my body keeping it from preforming optimally on my push up/squat test Saturday.
3) Make me feel as healthy as I've been working so hard to be!

My plan is to detox M-F, and then completely fast for 12 hours until my weigh in Saturday morning.  This may change if I decide to fast 24 hours before, but I don't want to be too weak for my strength testing.  

I know it's not "healthy", but I also want to loose as much water as I can between Friday and Saturday.  One gallon of water weighs over 8 lbs!  I may actually wear long underwear and walk a ton Friday to sweat out anything that is left. 

YES, I'll be dehydrated, and starving, but it's only tempory.  I can deal with it for one day.

So, to keep my mind occupied for these five days, I'll attempt to document my days in the juice fast.  

Since every day will be virtually the same , first I will document what I drink, and the following days, will document what each does.
 
Starting on an empty stomach, I drink one tablespoon of bentonite clay and one scoop of psylliun husks with almond milk.  Then I drink a warm glass of water with lemon juice.
My first juice of the day is 1 grapefruit, 2 oranges, 1 carrot, and a little ginger.
Makes a lovely and delicious wake you up blend!  This is such a good breakfast, even when you're not juicing!  It's SO refreshing.  Ahhhh.

Now, I'm going to get ready to go to work.  More on my "lunch" later...

16.3 lbs?! That's AWESOME!!

Your juices look amazing. I need a juicer - hopefully we'll get one for our wedding :) I can't believe you're doing juice for 5 days and then FASTING! Oh my gosh, that sounds pretty hard. Good luck winning that iPad - you'll certainly deserve it after this!

Oh, and if you don't win it, at least you lost 16+ lbs - that's super amazing!
