Day(10) Tomorrow Is Monday. DDP Yoga Begins


DDP Yoga. You heard it right. Ex-Wrestler creates program so he can wrestle again after breaking his L4 and L5 verts.

Now Mooch and I are doing this, he has already started, and I begin day 1 tomorrow.

So my days will be 10 days off.

Day 11 of Juicing is Day 1 of Yoga, and so forth.

For the DDP Yoga Website, they asked us to take 6 specific before pictures, so here is the Collage of mine:



The point of taking these 6 pictures is to track not just weight loss progress, but also flexibility and other fun stuff. Every 30 days these will be taken for 13 weeks.

I will be incorporating a normal weight lifting regimine into this either after 60 days of juicing, or during the process; either way I start with Yoga tomorrow.

As DDP would say...

(Day 9) V-Log and Weigh in



As you can see from the video, the first week was interesting.

I only lost 6 pounds.

So pushing forward now the DDP Yoga and the gym. I picked up my favorite Protein yesterday (Nectar) so I'm ready to rock and roll.

If only this juice would taste better AND keep me from thinking about other food CONSTANTLY.

It's a struggle yall.

(Day 6) Lesson Learned: You Can't Juice Avocado

I am one of those rare fat people who absolutely love things like Avocados. I used to make a banging Avocado Ranch dressing for pairing with Chicken that was absolutely amazing.

So last night I'm making my juice for the next 3 days, and I go to add an Avocado (removed skin and pit) and threw it in the juicer on low.. nothing came out.

Today I did some research, and found out that in fact, the Avocado can't be juiced. Damnit.

The Avocado is one of the healthiest fruits in the world, with pretty much every essential nutrient, and all the good fats, and is known to help lower your cholesterol. The solution everyone suggests: use a blender.

So I guess I need to go thrift shopping and find myself a cheap blender, so that I can juice my juice, then throw it into a blender and add an Avocado.

Anyways, My first weigh in will be Friday, we will see what one week of this diet has done; I have remained somewhat inactive during this first week; but now I am starting to feel some energy coming back and I think I can start doing some working out.

Here's to 54 more days!

(Day 2) Mysteries of the Red Poop.

I just titled that to be fun. Although try a juice diet, and spend the first day doing a couple red Beet juices and report back to me!

Anywho. Today the headaches were less, but the cravings and hunger pains were more. I found myself trying to reason to eat an Apple even after I had juiced.

So I got to researching, and a lot of people have had equal to, if not more, success by having 2-3 juices a day and like a salad of kale and such for dinner. It got me thinking; IF my resolve gets tested again, maybe ill just eat some kale leaves to curb the appetite. They say as long as its fruits and veggies, then it doesn't break the diet.

But I will juice as much as I humanly can, as disgusting as it can be some times. Yes; I have found 90% of the juices I have tried to be gross and taste like grass. Apparently it "grows on you"

We shall see!

I've noticed I was less sleepy tired today but more physically tired.

I just want to shout and thank all of those who have messaged me with support and making sure Im keeping up with it. Some of you have been juicing and such for a while and some havent; either way, thank you so much. I really do appreciate it.

I ran out of raspberries today, and I discovered that the type of juicer I have just doesnt juice them well. I did some research, and the most expensive ones are really the only ones that can juice berries right.

One of the people who messaged me has been doing this almost 2 years; and he said it's not about juicing for 60 days, its about changing your lifestyle. He's absolutely right.

I wanna be the guy who orders a salad when you order a teriaychi steak!

Here's to day 3 and hopefully the last day of suffering (yea right!)

(Day 1) Finally, the 3rd juice of the Day Doesn't Taste Like Ass

Started out this morning with the Morning Red Riser; and maybe I made it wrong; but it tasted disgusting and took me an hour to sip it down.

Second meal was the Mean Green. Again; tasted disgusting. So Grassy. Took another 45 min, I finally said fuck it and chugged it.

This one, though, this 3rd one is called "Grape Yum" (thats my name for it, I dont remember the recipe name for which I found it)

It consists of:
1/2 head of red cabbage
1 cup of grapes
1 green apple
It also supposed to have a fennel bulb (1/2) but i couldnt find them in the store so i threw in a celery.

This tastes way more yummy This is one I could drink every day all day.

Now: Side effects

Already have the massive headache. It's rediculous, I usually was only eating once a day and never got these headaches, so it's gotta be the caffiene or just the positive nutrients filling my body.

Also: been hella tired, I already napped today.

I got nautious before and after the mean green.

And this one was strange: I have been cold all day. Literally have spent all day in a hoodie, sweat pants, fluffy shoes. Like, cold.

As far as water i think im up to about 68oz of water today, and Im just now about to finish my 3rd juice (drinking now).

Day 1 has been a success. I knew that temptations to eat other shit would never, and wont be a problem. It's the tastes of these juices and the headache. I know those go away after 3-4 days so I'll be straight.

We got this :)

I also found out my buddy Andrew is going to follow me on this journey, he already has a juicer so he is starting tomorrow and will be one day behind me.

He did a 30 day of this I think he said last year, and lost 50 lbs. He didn't even 100% juice. He would have a kale salad when he felt hungry sometimes.

WHOA.

Here's to 59 more!

Weighed in tonight...

So because my at home scale is rated for up to 400, I really thought the "E" i was getting meant I was over 400; but low and behold, I weigh

391

When I started my journey the first time I was 380ish, so since I quit 3 years ago I have gained about 100 pounds.

Here's my goal then:

50 pounds in 60 days to get to 340.

Then by then end of August I wanna be at 100 total lost (so 291)

My ultimate weight loss goal is to be anywhere between 200-240. I think thats a good weight for a guy like me, with my build, at 6 foot.

My first vlog will be up soon! I'll share it here when it's ready.

Tomorrow is Day 1 and I got all my stuff today!



That's an entire week's worth of food for juicing. ONE WEEK. Lordy this is gonna be fun!
