The final {40th} day of Nathan's fast!

Nathan has officially accomplished 40 days of his juice fast!

He looks A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

He's consumed only water and juice (and the occasional prune for obvious reasons).

For FORTY days.

And guess how much weight he's lost?  

40 pounds.

His body is so much slimmer, his face is thinner and clearer, and he has SO much more energy.  I feel like I truly have my husband back. He runs and plays with the kids more, and doesn't mind carrying them both.  He does more around the house.  He's happier....oh, so much happier.

If I only could lose my leftover baby jiggle, it would be like we were newly married again.  Except better, because now we have adorable children, and we have so much more love for each other.

Anyway, he's letting me post before and after pictures!  (COMPLETELY untouched!)

Don't think I need to tell which is before and which is after, do I?

Not sure how he had gained all of that weight...well, let me re-phrase that.  HE wasn't sure how he'd gained that much weight...but of course I told him it was from drinking pop like it was going out of style.

Yep.  That high fructose corn syrup.  It'll get ya every time.

Some of you might be wondering what happened to my juice fast.  Well, I woke up on day 5 feeling rather funny...dizzy, and lethargic, and I was having problems with orthostatic hypotension.  I really think my problems were caused by not drinking ENOUGH juice (I think I should try it again, and drink smaller quantities of juice about once every hour or two), and I'm thinking (since I'm borderline hypoglycemic), that I should eat a handful of nuts or something to give me a protein boost to help stabilize my blood sugar.

So someday, you'll see my before and after. :D
