DAY 2 - TURBO CHARGE

This morning I have been very productive and woke at the early hour of 6am, without my alarm. Had my hot lemon tea as usual then got down to business of writing all the recipies that I'm using at the moment and the previous 7lbs in 7 days and adding them to an A5 folder. Just to make it easier when making up juices and having no fear of spoiling my book.

My alarm went off at 7am and my partnet got up for work, did some minor household chores and made him his breakfast before heading knee deep into our shet to find my Pro Bounce Rebounder. I got this for free off Telford Freegle a few years ago and it's now proving it's worth. Said 'bye' to my partner Sam as he went off to work and decided to bounce/jog for 30 mins. I actually did the couch to 5k part one on the rebounder as I have found I keep getting repeated knee injuries when I actually try to run normally.

Had a shower, had the Turbo Charge Smoothie which I might add is rather yummy and got my stuff ready for work. I couldn't even finish the smoothie and had to fill up sigg's as well as make extra to take to work. It really fills you up and know by the time I have one again for lunch , that will be me all filled up ready for dinner. For dinner I intend to have the soup batch which I made yesterday and will continue till it runs out.

What are your Turbo Highs?

What are your Turbo lows?

How did you get on with the Turbo exercise and how long did you do?

8am - Rebounder exercise 30 mins
2pm - Courier Work

 

How do you feel?

Happier that I have gone back to juices for Breakfast and Lunch

DAY 8 of Combined Plan - TURBO CHARGE - Day 1

So just about to make breakfast juice and maybe make the soup and a juice and decide which one I want later.

My day has gone upside down and so I didn't have breakfast, so I made the Super Power Veggie soup which has 4 portions in all. Had to adapt it a lil so swapped 1 onion for 1 leek, put 100g of spinach instead of 85g as I was missing another veg but OMG it was lush.

The only thing is I have no room for the whole 1 portion, I have only managed to eat half plus I put a huge dollop of pesto in the middle of it and also I added mixed herbs as well as the requested pepper. Very very filling and really lovely even if it's a hot day. FEELING STUFFED!!


What are your Turbo Highs?

I CAN FINALLY EAT FOOD!!!!! YAYYYYYYYY

What are your Turbo lows?

Making the mistake to eat a soup for lunch because it made me feel very uncomfy and bloated. My poor stomach must be the size of a bean as the 1 serving I had, I could only manage half and that was pushing it. Also felt incredibly ill after dinner too as that topped me up on the loated front and just about killed me off!!

How did you get on with the Turbo exercise?

Just my courier job

How long did you do?

4hrs

How do you feel?

Toooo full and bloated

DAY 6: Pure Green Super Juice of HELL!!!!!!

So, day 6 and nearly finished....................
One more day to go!!

Just having the Pure Green Super Juice and I have to say it's vile! It's like having hell with every mouthful but in the book they do warn you it's not for the faint hearted. This drink is supposed to be at 2pm but with the commitments of work (yes I work on a saturday!!) it's not possible to eat segments of orange after each mouthful, as by then I will be driving. The glorious sweet nectar of an orange really does save the day with this juice and in all fairness the first bit of solid food.

 

What were the juicy highlights today?

Not needing much sleep amd waking up at 6am on the dot when my alarm is set for 7? Also not long till the end!!

What are your juicy lows?

Pure Green Super Juice from Hell!!! Was utterly disgusting and made me have another slippage in the pooh department....YUCK!!

How did you get on with the juicy exercise?

Courier Work

How long did you do?

3hrs in temps over 25 degrees C

How do you feel?

Happier because I'm nearly finished

DAY 5: Oddly not craving stuff

Day 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Didn't think I'd EVER see DAY 5!!!!!

Yesterday I felt more awake than the day before but not as awake as I am today, I even woke up at 6am WITHOUT my alarm....odd!

I'm not craving food, I even tried to tell my brain to eat chocolate yesterday and I was suprised that I just couldn't do it when normally I would have just given in. I still cannot drink the full range of juices in a day, so I usually miss the 8pm one and just have my hot lemon with water. I however don't use the recommended piece of Lemon with hot water over it but instead use Twinnings Lemon Zest Tea Bags.

 
 

Ingredients


  • - Rosehips
  • - White Hibiscus
  • - Natural Lemon Flavouring with other Natural Flavourings
  • - Apple Pieces
  • - Lemon Myrtle
  • - Lemon Peel

I also use a hint of live honey or you can use Manuka Honey, just to add a bit of taste. Though saying that this hint is getting smaller and smaller each day and no doubt I will be without in a few days.


I actually can say I think I'm loosing weight, I was lying on the bed and lifted my vest top up. For the first time in a looooooooooooooooong time I actually saw my ribcage, well the bottom bit of it anyhoo. I thought at first I was malformed and had a shock when I felt but I have to say, when I stand it still looks the same and to me not much change.............but we shall see on my weigh in on Monday Morning!


I have adapted the Super Chute Juice and removed the Kale and Celery as both were making me heave and instead added more spinach to cover. Just drinking it now and I'm having no issues.

 

What were the juicy highlights today?

I woke up at 6am!!!
I feel refreshed and have more energy than the day before
My shorts kept falling down.....ooops!

What are your juicy lows?

Backache around my right kidney though this wore off by evening

How did you get on with the juicy exercise?

Courier work only

How long did you do?

5hrs of non stop walking and lifting in the hottest part of the day. I was sweating like a pig from the heat and the work

How do you feel?

Happier, lighter and my energy is returning
