Day 7 of the Juice Diet! How are you feeling? My week has gone by pretty quickly due to an excessive amount of work but my body feels wonderful! I am 8 pounds down as of Day 7, which is a lot less than I expected. However, I can't blame anything because I did not drink as much juice as I should have, skipped on a lot of glasses of water, didn't workout enough, nor got enough sleep. So we only get what we work for, right?
So the next 9 days is going to be fitness hibernation! I will still continue going to work and doing my best at everything I do, but I will also be getting a lot of workouts in (2 hours everyday minimum) - 1.5 hours cardio, 30 minutes weights. I am committing to drinking at least 4 glasses of juice a day and 8 to 10 glasses of water. With this crazy regimen, I truly want to see how much my body is truly capable of losing in a 9 day timeframe if I put it through the rigorous regimen I am planning to.
Some excercise options for the next 9 days:
Gym:
1.5 hours cardio
30 minutes weights (however heavy you can handle)
10-15 minutes sauna if at all possible.
If no Gym:
Option 1:
Walk for 1 mile
20 minute at home workout videos from YouTube (light aerobics is fine)
Option 2:
Walk for 2 miles or run for 1 mile
Get 8 hours of sleep.
Have 1 pure fruit juice in the morning but the remaining 3 juices of the day - make sure you include atleast 50 per cent greens.
One of my biggest accomplishments of the past week aside from the diet was that I ignored everyone and everything that was negative or created any conflict in my life. I controlled my need to respond to everything that happens around me, and stayed calm and let situations play out on its own. That has truly helped me. I feel a lot more at peace and unbothered by negative people and situations. I felt more connected with my inner self and realized that nothing or no one is worth sacrificing your inner peace for. Let go of the moment, because the only thing you really have any control over is yourself. Think happy thoughts and just love yourself. Let everything else around you crash and burn. Just find peace within yourself, and you will be able to attract that peace in your surroundings.
New posts coming up everyday for the next 9 days! Stay tuned in. :-)
Lots of love,
Nisha
