I finished my juice fast and didn't cheat once! I was even in Laughlin, NV and still stayed on the fast--I had two days left. I broke my fast in Laughlin with a banana...and then Mickey D's. It was the cheapest and I was on a budget. I know that wasn't ideal, but I continued to juice and eat fruits and veggies. Even made a tomato, kale and avocado croissant. Yum!

Back home, still working on juicing for morning and afternoon and veggies for dinner. Made bean chili, my daughter made an incredible vegetable soup, and we have been doing stir fry. I never thought an entire plate of veggies would be so delicious, but it is. The fast was successful in helping me change the way I eat. The fridge still looks like a farmers market and my portion sizes have gotten smaller.
I still haven't had Diet Coke...or any type of soda! I wanted something other than water to drink yesterday so I made lemonade. It was refreshing, but of course it is loaded with sugar, so I'll keep that to a minimum.
I don't have the stats for my weight when I finished the fast, but on Day 8 I had lost 8 lbs. I am now 163.5. Not bad--especially considering that I ate junk food and drank alcohol (including a delicious fresh pineapple/orange juice with Malibu rum yum!) for a couple days on my trip.
Here are the before and after (a week after completing the fast) stats:
