Day 13 - 19: Ramping Up

So this past week has been the "Ramping Up" week for our first all-juice Reboot.  Following the guidelines on the Reboot Your Life website this week was about trying to get our bodies ready for what's going to be a very drastic change in diet.  Even though we're starting easy with a simple 3-day juice fast it's still going to be a shock to our systems.  And so the point of the ramp up period is to give yourself every advantage you can in preparing your body for the change. The recommendations include reducing and then eliminating things like dairy and caffeine, and also completely eliminating junk foods and processed foods.  And of course along with that is the need to increase your water intake.

Days 7 - 12: Going Strong

Good evening everyone.  Just checking in with a blog post to let anyone whose actually reading know how I've been doing.  Things are going well, but not too much has changed.  The Plan is proceeding.  This was a pretty calm week without much new going on in the way of diet or health.  My girlfriend's birthday was this week, so we did have one night with a slice of cake for each of us.  But I figure if you're going to be so rigid you can't even enjoy a birthday cake you're setting yourself up for failure.  Passing on the ice cream after the play last week was one thing, but birthdays are at a different level.
