tomorrow i will have succeeded in doing 15 days of only fruit & veges. i am looking forward to some more variety but veges will still be my main stay. i have found lots of vegetarian recipes - watch out mum and dad when you visit :)
only lost 700g this week but did three treadmill sessions and one hike. still hoping to lose weight every week.
will blog just once a week to keep up to date of how things are going. thanks lachlan for the dvd, it hopefully has changed my life.

day ten to thirteen
well still going strong and not broken, will weigh tomorrow, only expecting around 1kg this week, but happy with that if i can keep losing one a week.
energy up and down, difficult with hiking on wednesday, could only manage an hour but have run twice on the treadmill this week.
have bought some vege burgers and soy sausages, lots of legumes and will do heaps of stir frys next week. my plan is to juice twice a day, and just add some more protein to my veges.
have bought some weird stuff, seaweed salad, xo sauce and smoked trout, going to keep trying new things and not have much sweet stuff.
have lost another 5cm, total of 16cm in the two weeks, so my clothes are quite loose, so feeling good

day nine
felt really good today, made a lovely green thai vege curry and it has given me some zip, another 3 juices today and even did 52mins on the treadmill and burnt off 350 calories.
the weight loss has really slowed down only 300g in the past two days, but it makes sencse that it eases off. hiking with brad on wednesday so interesting if i can cope with two hours, as i really struggled last week.
would be very happy to just lose 1kg every week until may, then i might just make my goal
attached new photos, small difference visible
day eight - not so good
right from the start i felt lousy, just lots of muscle tiredness, lethargy and pulse racing. thought there is no way i can exercise like this and maybe it was too much to do 15 days without protein and carbs BUT i picked up in the afternoon after my lunch of a big mean green juice and was not even hungry when i got home at 8pm after a 13hr day at work.
so maybe the green is mean and does give you a kick

day seven
wow, a whole week of nothing but fruit and veges. times its is tough and other times its easy.
still struggling with the green juice but managed to get a litre down today, a fruit juice and some veges.
weighed in 4kg lighter this week, which is the most i have ever lost, i expect next week to only be 1kg, but thats okay, as i feel as if it will continue.
walked/run 46mins today on the treadmill, it was tiring without any protein or carbs in your system, this may be the downfall of trying to juice and exercise.
will see how i go this week as i finish next monday and can then add in some extras. took some more photos and there is a slight change on my belly. will show them after 4 wks so you can see the difference.
cooking a vegetable curry for dinner, so i can have it ready when i get home tomorrow night from work.
lets see how this week goes....

day six
have measured from last week and i lost 11 cm in a week and will weigh myself tomorrow.
today was to be all juicing but just find it a bit too hard, so cherries and apple for breakfast, went to the movies and took a beetroot juice (oh the sound of munching chips in the audience) and then a green juice for lunch but had to have some strawberries for afternoon tea and will have roasted veges for dinner.
still havent had anything other than fruit or veges, which i think is amazing especially as rachel cooked burgers for dinner and i still felt ok.
hope to last the full 15 days and bring on the legumes and dairy, new photos and weight tomorrow hope its a good start

day five
yesterday went so fast, feeling really good and settling into a routine of veges/juice.
have used up most of veges but looking forward to trying some new ones next week.
still dont have much energy for exercising but it may be the mind taking over and giving excuses

day five
feeling good, not difficult at the moment to stick to fruit and vege. due to have 5 days of juices, but will start on saturday when at home, easier then to make juices, will give it a go.
headaches have eased and my skin looks better, also going to the toliet less, so able to tolerate fluids better.
hope to start regular exercise this weekend, and hopefully the weight will still continue to come off

day four
i was so tired last night i couldnt even blog, went hiking with the boys at tooheys forest for 2 hours and because i havent done anything for 3 wks and i think also the fasting, i was buggered.
got home at 6.30pm had some veges made lunch for the next day and then off to be at 7.30pm.
feeling quite good now, only occasional headache, i have even started to like my beetroot, carrot, cucumber, apple and ginger juice. so have made some more for today.
off to buy some more fruit today, i love the cherries in the shakes, and more carrots. i will be more selective next week what veges i get and only look at my favourites. in two days i am supposed to start 5 days of all shakes, i will see how i go but might only do 3 a day with some eating.
i have lost 3kg so far, and hope it doesnt completely stop next week but i know most of this is water weight not fat. but i'm on the road to get it off by May.

day 3 - feeling better
feeling much better today, sort of more energy, i am drinking more water than i have ever had before (fresh mint makes all the difference), about 3L a day. BUT this means i am in the toliet (i think all up a day it must be about 30mins worth of sitting).
cherries and apples for breakfast, fruit juice at MT, salad at lunch and carrot soup for AT and yummy roasted veges for dinner.
i have lost 2.5kg in two days, i know it is all water weight but i dont care as long as the scales are going down.
the fridge still looks very full of greenery, must somehow juice the kale (it tastes yuck like plain grass)
next week i am only going to shop for supplies every two days to keep the fridge more available for rachel, she only has half a shelf (of course she baked a beautiful sponge cake, mexican tortillas and pizza) i am sure she is doing this to spite me but i havent surcummed yet!!
no exercise as yet, but hiking tomorrow with brad so will be interesting to see how i go with the energy.
3 done, 12 days to go!!

day 2
i know its not the end of day 2, but my goodness i feel so much better than yesterday, the nausea has stopped and the dreadful headaches. so felt much better, even had two glasses of beetroot juice (hate to see what comes out tomorrow).
didnt have the energy to go for a ride today, or maybe i was just too lazy. instead cleaned the house, set up the treadmill, got my clothes ready for tomorrow and all my shakes and salads.
tonight i have decided to do some baked vegetables, so having sweet potato, capsicum, onions, mushrooms with some lovely spices and some honey soy dressing. yumm!!!
will step on the scales tomorrow and see if any changes, i have been drinking 2 litres of water with mint and i really love it. so i spend most of my time in the loo, great for the kidneys.
work tomorrow, would love to have another two weeks off but time to go back to the grind.
looking forward to day 4 when i should have my energy back in time to go hiking with brad and alan.

day 1 is a killer
wow, this is so much harder than i thought it would be, breakfast was a lovely fruit shake, morning tea was a green juice (yuck) by lunch i had the worst headache, went out with rachel to go shopping and had to come home and lie down for 2hrs.
no energy, nauseated and headache, and it is only the first few hours. havent broken what i have eaten but had one glass of pepsi, the headache eased, hard to go no caffeine, so have reduced from 5 cans a day to only one.
i think next week i will have 80% veges and add some carbs and protein, as i really need to exercise and work.
so already i wont be doing a 15 day total fast. but sure this will still make a huge difference to my weight and health.
my fridge looks like a forest at the moment, so looking forward to a yummy carrot soup and steamed veges for dinner.
plan to ride tomorrow for the first time in almost a year, this will be great to get back into it
