Diet and Exercise Journal, Day Three of Ten

Day three was not so bad, although my commitment to the plan came into doubt several times. Once I make day five, the end will be in sight, but the uphill climb is tough.
 
Weight exercise:

Bench press: 1 x 13 + 1 x 10 + 1 x 9 using 57.5lb dumbbells

Cardio exercise:

Walk 5.55mile. Walked from the UT campus to the Concho Garden where Rachel and I have two (and a half) plots, harvested some veggies, took the scenic route home through some residential neighborhoods that we hadn't seen yet. Walking totals at 23.2 miles over three days.

Other:

Food:

12:30pm About 24oz grapefruit, mango, and carrot juice.

3:00pm One cup of hot broth made from (essentially spent) collard and carrot pulp.

11:00pm About 24oz juice of  swiss chard, carrot, cucumber, beet, radish; two whole radishes; one dill pickle spear

Units of alcohol: 0

Diet and Exercise Journal, Day Two of Ten

Day two, if I recall from previous experience, is supposed to be the worst one, where hunger hits its awful, gnawing peak before the body essentially adapts to the shock of caloric deprivation. But it wasn't bad at all, in part because I'm mixing some cabbage solids (homemade kimchi, to be specific)  in with the juice and vegetable broth, and in part because I've discovered the appetite-suppressing potential of green tea. Two days down gives one a feeling of some momentum, so I'll take it as a moral victory even if I was a touch more irritable than I care to be (or, my usual irritableness squared or so).
 
Weight exercise:

Bicep curls 3 sets of ten using 37.5lb dumbbells

Cardio exercise:

Walk 7.45 mile. Miles somewhat limited by blisters developed from overdoing it (and stupidly walking in flip-flops) yesterday.

Other:

Food:

12:30pm About 24oz grapefruit and carrot juice; small serving kimchi

3:00pm One pot of green tea

8:00pm About 32oz juice of collard, carrot, cucumber, beet; about 2 cups soup made from water boiled with leftover pulp and strained into about 4oz kimchi; one dill pickle spear

Units of alcohol: 0

Diet and Exercise Journal, Day One of Ten

Starting another crash fitness program to clear out the excessive time in bars and restaurants over the end of the semester and vacation. Looking to lose about five pounds in ten days by going juice/fresh produce only, no alcohol, 100 miles walked. This is day one.
 
Weight exercise:

Bench 1x12 using 37.5lb dumbbells. 1x13 using 57.lb dumbbells

Cardio exercise:

Walk 10.2 miles

Other:

Food:

3:00p 16oz fresh grapefruit juice; small serving kimchi

8:00pm 16oz juice of chard, collard, carrot; about 2 cups soup made from water boiled with leftover pulp and strained into about 4oz kimchi

Units of alcohol: 0

As always when these things begin, feeling a little cranky. Nevertheless, one down.
