Oh my god I can't believe what I did today. So I packed my stuff and left the house at like, a quarter to 10. I walked to the gym, which is a pretty steep uphill 20 minute walk, plus I was carrying all my stuff including my other shoes, clothes, shampoo/lotion etc. and 2 1.5liter bottles full of juice. So I was already sweating by the time i got to the gym. I did 30 minutes of cardio on the machines, then I did an hour dance aerobics class. After that, I chilled for about 2 hours at the cafe (having only my juice), and then I did 30 minutes more of cardio. After that I did an hour of pilates, which hella hurt after all that other stuff. So basically, it was like 4 when I was done working out. then my sports-journalist friend called me to come hang out, and I said okay. So i did 20 minutes in the sauna, then showered and changed and walked an hour and a half to meet him (still carrying a bunch of stuff, btw.)
So what you see here, is that if you total the classes, the cardio, and the straight walking i totalled about 5 hours of exercise today!!! Plus I was on a juice fast. By the time it was 8 I was pretty much completely dizzy and feeling totally drunk and he wanted to take me to dinner and I said no that I was on a juice fast and when he found out about that with the exercise (he called when I was at the gym, and he knew I walked to meet him) he basically wouldn't take no for an answer. We ended up going to an italian restaraunt and I had some pasta with cheese/cream sauce and salmon. But I only ate half of the plate, which was small to begin with.
So I did last all day and finally messed up the diet at night, but seriously I felt so funky. I can't even describe it. I wasn't hungry at all, I'm still not and I got full really fast at dinner, but I think that a juice fast on top of all that exercise was stupid on my part. In fact I hear you're supposed to take it easy physically on the days that you fast so that you will be less likely to need to eat something.
Oh well, I'm more focused now on the working out, since I've actually been losing weight with my regular diet anyway but i need to exercise and walk more to get really toned and actually burn fat. I just weighed-in when I got home, and even though it's night-time and I'm swollen from all that exercise and I just ate, I still weighed-in at 65.9, so that's some indication that I'll probably be under 65 tomorrow (i hope i hope i hope). I'll see how the next few days go with major working-out and my normal diet. If I feel like I've really hit a block, then I'll try again with the fasting, only not so much over-doing the physical stuff too next time!
By the way, I should mention how I am in SO MUCH PAIN right now. I just nibbled on the end of a protien bar to at least help my muscles rebuild overnight. Every part of my body hurts, especially from carrying around my stuff too. Every time I move i hear something different pop :P I need sleep!!!

My Current Diet: From here you can follow each week's diet as my dietician gives them to me.
This week we are back to the first week's diet (which you can see if you click the link below).
However, there is a slight difference. One day, breakfast will be the same. But for the rest of the day I will eat 1 kg. (about 2.2lbs.) of only seasonal fruits (strawberries, cherries, apples, pears, nectarines). They can be mixed however you want and you can eat them when you want, just make sure that they are all you eat for the rest of the day and that you don't eat more than 1 kg. Do this for one or two days this week.

My Current Workout: from here you can follow my exercise program as my trainer give it to me.
This week is just cardio, after six days of this we will add wieght training.
Treadmill: 20 minutes with no incline, at a speed of 5.5
Stationary bike: 15 minutes at level 1, rpm around 70
Stairmaster: 8 minutes at level 1
Elliptical Trainer: 10 minutes at level 1, between 55-60 rpm
Rowing: 5 minutes
Be sure to keep your heart rate above 110 but below 130, this is best for maximum fat-burn. My trainer adjusts this each day as it gets too easy or difficult, adjust the difficulty by checking your heart rate. As long as you are between 110-130 keep going at that pace.
Don't change the amount of time or skip anything on the list. Even if you like one machine but hate another, do them all in this order. It is designed to charge your metabolism and impact all your muscles
Aside from the workout, I make sure to walk as much as possible whenever I can.
