Forks over knives on #netflix streaming
I've been hoping to see this movie for awhile and now that it's on streaming I watched it today- excellent documentary. If you don't like diabetes, cancer and heart disease you may want to watch....

Soooo... Some kids love football and try really hard. My kiddo is not like those :(. But he looks good in uniform so that's something

juicefast day 5 and podcasts I love
Woke up today, and, since I'm not working, went back to bed :) Did that a few times before finally deciding to get up for the day. The energy boost is starting to kick in, but I was too tuckered last night to jog so I just walked a ton listening to my podcasts
Here's what I listen to
5by5.tv - Dan Benjamin's podcast network has a bunch of great tech related podcasts - most are related to Apple and mobile. These guys are so geeky (in a good way) that I feel normal :)
Savage Love - Dan Savage's out loud version of his advice column... its Ann Landers for our generation. Some of the callers are so weird it makes me feel normal :)
Confessions of an EMS Newbie - Ron Davis is a paramedic student and Kelly Grayson is a grizzled veteran. Ron asks Kelly questions, Kelly tells humorous stories. The questions Ron asks are questions I'd ask, so it makes me feel normal :)
Last night I did 4.12 miles around the neighborhood, nothing fancy, just walking and listening to the above gentlemen.
Total distance: 17.5 miles
Total time 5:31
Total weight loss 5 pounds
Hunger 3/10
Health/Wellness 6
Odd facts - I'm starting to see more veins. If my veins had been this visible a year ago when we were learning IV starts in class I wouldn't have had so many bruises.
I need to do some reading about exercise during a juicefast. I'm pretty sure walking and jogging and biking (staying aerobic to burn fat for fuel) shouldn't be too much of a problem. But with the lack of carbs to refuel muscles is anaerobic work a good idea?

juicefast days 3 and 4
Juicefast Day 3 and 4
Juicefast day 3 was spent at the station working a 24. I brought 4 juices (16 oz, 2 green and orange and a watermelon). I drank them spread throughout the day and had little hunger or other problems.... until 2am when I had to take a 5 hour trip. Lack of sleep and I haven't had the "juicefast energy boost" kick in yet meant, again, stopping at a gas station for caffeine and munchies. I went with a diet soda, a 5 hour energy and some nuts, I tried to keep the damage to a minimum.
Once I got home I slept all day (of day 4), finally getting up around 3pm.
Juicefast day 4 - sleep. didn't eat or drink until my first juice at 6pm.
Now watching the Red Sox on ESPN.
Weight loss - 2.5 pounds
Overall feeling - pretty good
difficulties - minimal

Juicefast day 2
Monday was horrible and I didn't fast and didn't lose any weight... here's what happened
Sunday night one of the supervisors called with a transfer... 16 hours, starting at 2:30AM. I'd napped most of the day on Sunday and couldn't fall asleep. Went to the station and left on the transfer, hit horrible fog on the way to get the patient (3 hours west), then it was my job to drive to the receiving hospital (7.5 hours east). We got about 2 hours in to my driving when we stopped for fuel. I wanted to drink juice all day but I couldn't handle the "Just started the juice fast feel rotten no energy no sleep last night can't crash the ambulance" syndrome so I broke down and bought food and mountain dew.
I know, I feel rotten about it too, but we made it to the destination safely. After I got home (after 8pm) I had a juice, made juices for Tuesday and went to bed.
Weight loss - 0
Best recipes -
Orange/Carrot/Sweet Potato/cinnamon. YUM!
watermelon/pear
apple/pear/cucumber/spinach/kale
Over the next week I want to keep working on less fruit more vegetables. I have juices for today and I don't work the next 2 days so I can definitely make some headway.
