Working out and Weigh In
Firstly, I weighed myself today again, still 375 which is a total of 16lbs lost since I started. (That's about a pound a day) and that was with little to no movement. As of today, I'm back in the gym, and while I am super sore, I am super excited (and have a ton of energy right now) How much energy? I left the gym, went to Food Lion and grabbed some stuff and headed home, got home and just made a ton of juice for tonight/tomorrow.
Now I type this still sweating (from activity!) and about to go shower when I am done.
Today was chest day, and a childhood buddy of mine, Thomas, and I hit the gym. We have arranged to be workout partners, both of us are big guys and I find it's always motivating to work out with someone. Firstly, phew I was out of shape. We are doing our first 45 day rotation doing 5x5's, doing a similar schedule I did before:
Monday - Chest
Tuesday- Back
Wednesday - Leg
Thursday - Shoulder
Friday- Arm
Saturday and Sunday Hardcore Core.
I was most ashamed in my performance on the elliptical. Before, I could go 60 minutes, of HIIT no problem..
Today I did 6 minutes.
I know they say "start slow" but I wanted to gauge just how bad it was; and that's how bad it is.
However; I am not embarrassed overall, because I went to the gym and put in a workout. That's the most important part of the whole thing, and now my chest and arms are yelling at me while I try to type this!
New Decision on Juicing
After trying a bunch of recipes, and doing tons of studying, I have now decided on doing one juice all the time, and it's a Mean Green hybrid I created.
I make 100oz or so at a time (I have two 52oz Bubba kegs I fill up, thats about a day day/half worth).
My new recipe (amounts not included, as I went with this mix until I had filled both of the kegs)
Kale
Spinach
Cucumber
Broccoli
Asparagus
1 Orange Bell Pepper
Some grapes
1 Lemon
Gingeroot.
After attempting a bloody mary the other day, I grew to enjoy the pepperyness in the juice, and studying the high benefits, so I figured, lemme remove celery which is a lot of water, and add pepper. Then add broccoli and asparagus (lots of great nutrients)
This is the first time I have made this recipe, so it's in the fridge now, and after my shower I will be giving it a go!
Controlling the Hunger and Chewing needs.
I decided to buy sugar free gum at the store tonight, and I am chewing away while I type this. I think this may just help me with appetite suppression and the need to chew. I'll get back to you on it.
I also decided after numerous hours of research on Juicing and such, to purchase Fish Oil. So the suppliments I am now taking are:
Men's One A Day
Iron
Fish Oil
And Protein Shake after my workout (1 scoop of Nectar with water which is 23g protein, 0 carb, 0 sugar)
And that's just a little update since I didn't get yall a VLog this past week!

PS If you want to juice and lose weight, hit me up and lemme know. I have a few people who have started this journey with me, who have taken before photos. We can do this. Together.
Doooood, juice me!
