Why Yes, I am Happy!

Holy Cow! It's Day 15 of my 60 Day Juice Feast!   WOO HOO!  Yeah, I'm a bit excited and very happy!

Ask me why....I dare ya! Just ask me why!  (ok you don't really have to because I am going to tell you anyway!)

I'm so excited because I've stuck to juicing for two whole weeks and I am seeing results!  Results appeal to me because as a retired scientist, they are proof that something is working (or not working).  I love results!

Here's rundown of my results so far:

1. I have lost weight.   14 or so pounds to be exact!  14 pounds in 14 days is a pound of day!  My clothes are fitting better as a result and that makes me super happy.  Good bye, fat pants! 

2. I am not hungry.  I am still shocked by this one because on every other stupid diet I have tried, I was always hungry. Hungry. All. The. Time.  Today, being hungry is not an issue.  I love that!

3.  I am sleeping better.  Sleep and I have a long history of battle.  I have a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep so this one is huge. 

4.  My skin feels softer and looks better.  It's strange that juice feasting would make my skin feel better, but it has.  Bye bye, dragon skin!

5. I have more energy.  Before juicing, I would work in the morning and have to take a nap at about 2 PM everyday like clockwork.  Now, I get up in the morning and can make it through a whole day without a nap. 

6. I am more alert and can focus better. Before juicing, I had issues with focus. I always felt like I was in a mental fog and I struggled with my thoughts.  That's all gone now.
