Reboot - Day 48

Update on the reboot, before I move on to other things.....
I have not felt any extreme fatigue since I removed lemon rinds form my juicing.....is it coincidental?  I don't know....but am happy with the results.  I've been alternating: juicing & eating produce for 5-10 days, followed by 2-4 days of incorporating a few other foods.....not eating all day long, but eating a meal or two of meats, bread etc. along with the juicing.  I always gain a few pounds when I eat non-produce foods.....but, it seems like after a couple of days of gaining a pound or two, it stabilizes as long as I keep juicing as well, and don't overdo the other items.  I even begin to lose again.....   and as soon as I switch back to only juicing and eating fresh produce, I begin to lose weight immediately.  I feel like I've finally found the secret!   And the secret is: don't diet!  This is a lifestyle change....not a diet.  I guess I needed to be in the right mindset to actually change my lifestyle.....but, here I am and embracing it fully!  So far I've lost 26lbs.  I've had days where I've actually gained weight, even while juicing and eating produce.......I try to figure out what could've caused this.  Usually, I think it is too much fruit.   Some days, when I haven't had time to juice the previous night, I end up buying a Bolthouse or Naked Juice from the store.  If I drink that all day, with no homemade juices, I tend to gain, as they seem to have too many fruits in them.  So, although I still like to supplement with the store bought juices.....I will try to limit it to just 1 -2/day (no more than 1-2 days/wk).   For instance, last week I worked 2 days in a row til 6pm and didn't feel at all like juicing when I finally got home....so used the Bolthouse juice,  The Bolthouse Green Goodness juice seems to be the best bet, with the most veggies in it.  If I choose one of the fruit laden juices, I gain.  So, obviously I'm constantly learning & tweaking.....but, what a great knowledge base I'm gaining!
