Day 19

Today is another day like yesterday... I'm kind of dumbfounded by the whole dieting thing right now. My caloric intake is static at about 600 calories a day, and somehow, I'm gaining instead of losing weight. In small amounts albeit, but still gaining. I can't figure this thing out. I am completely confused as to why my body is gaining anything. My daily diet consists of two 15oz bottles of juice, organic chicken broth, and water. I'm about 5 pounds behind schedule in my weight loss. I was losing more weight taking in a higher number of calories!
What to do... What to do?

So I've given the changes I made several days ago a bit to set in, and I'm unimpressed with the results. My energy levels are low and I'm feeling depressed. It would be easy to quit right now, but instead I'm going to change things up again tomorrow and see what happens. I think I'm going to give it a go doing the exact juice diet that they used on the movie (the challenge is that they don't tell you exactly what they did!). Maybe my tweaks have done something to the diet that I couldn't anticipate, and it is adversely effecting my results.

42 days left of this project- too far in to turn back now. Hopefully I begin dropping quickly after I make the adjustments. I can't fathom doing the exact same thing that they were doing in the movie and not having similar results. Well, here goes nothing then.

Encouragement for the day:

2 Samuel 22-38:43

 ³⁸ “I pursued my enemies and crushed them; 
   I did not turn back till they were destroyed. 
³⁹ I crushed them completely, and they could not rise; 
   they fell beneath my feet. 
⁴⁰ You armed me with strength for battle; 
   you humbled my adversaries before me. 
⁴¹ You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, 
   and I destroyed my foes. 
⁴² They cried for help, but there was no one to save them— 
   to the LORD, but he did not answer. 
⁴³ I beat them as fine as the dust of the earth; 
   I pounded and trampled them like mud in the streets.

I can do this... I can complete my goal. Just another day to get through, and a few changes to be made. No pain, no gain!


~Until tomorrow.
