My mother would play her vinyls in our apartment and it was hard to get away from seeing her video “She Works Hard For the Money” on MTV (when MTV actually played music videos). Donna Summer was part of the very fabric of my childhood, and you don’t want to know how many times I’ve heard “Last Dance” at a karaoke bar. ^_^

Miss D, you’ve given us so much joy and broken a lot of barriers during your time, and I just want to say “thank you” for giving us all lots of wonderful memories through your recordings and performances. Your music was definitely part of the soundtrack of my life.

Rest in Peace.

By the way, because of the success my friend has had on her diet plan (she’s lost over 100 lbs thus far – it’s taken awhile, but I’m really proud of her), I decided to join the “myfitnesspal.com” site to see if it’ll help me on my goal.

Ultimately I want my goal BMI (Body Mass Index) to be anywhere between 20-22, which is considered a normal body weight.  In scale terms, it would require me to lose approximately 100 lbs.  I’m not expecting to do it overnight, but this fast is a great start.

In the meantime, here’s the 2nd to last video in my juicing saga.  Thanks for all the support!

No, I have not broken. One more day to go!
I’ve gotten some crazy looks from people I’ve told and more odd looks when I’ve told them for how long.

I wonder if Joe Cross came across the same thing.

Anyway, I’ll try to post everything ASAP, but that may be a day or so.

One more day until I go back to solid foods! YAY!

Went swimming and survived,

And I’m now on the halfway mark.

Just a little more and I’ll be done.

I found out just how weak I really am on this, the hard way.

Some other interesting side effects I’ve started noticing after I filmed…

My tongue is starting to feel fuzzy. I had this same sensation when I was on the lemonade diet.

I’m also starting to feel hunger pangs, even if I drink water or more juice to resolve it. That was unusual.

Frightening though, for a moment, I felt some actual pain in my side and in my chest, but I’m not certain if this had anything to do with this.

I also think my body thinks I’m going into starvation mode. I may have dropped 5lbs, but my BMI (Body Mass Index) by 2 points. It’s still early and I really shouldn’t have weighed myself so soon. I’ll restrict myself to once a week. At least I didn’t try to measure myself.

If you have any questions, just let me know.

Thanks for checking-in!
