Day 3: Ease-in #3

Today was the third day of my Ease-in period, the goal was to consume 2 liters of freshly-squeezed orange juice mixed with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup.

Weight: 193 pounds
Calories consumed: 1069 (207 grams of sugar! I'm gonna rot my teeth out.)
Fat: 4 grams
Carbs: 250 grams
Protein: 15 grams
Physical: Rested (slept late), but felt a little run down all day.
Mental/Psychological: Had a fuzzy period around 4pm where I was having trouble composing emails for work.
Exercise: Ran 3 miles
Notable reaction of the day: "You have to blog about it (the poo) you'll be dropping deck chairs!"

Meal prep & how I felt:
It took me 15 minutes with an electric juicer to make 2 liters of OJ, and 8 pounds of oranges (approx. $9.00 total). Which isn't bad when compared to my normal breakfast routine which takes approx. 25 minutes to prepare. I used two Nalgene bottles and added 1 tablespoon of maple syrup to each bottle. My original concern was that I thought I could easily chug the first bottle of OJ for breakfast, but it turned out to be more filling than I thought. I wasn't really hungry until 2pm when I had a meeting next to someone eating lunch (that sucked), but I hung out with my boyfriend while he ate dinner and I was fine. In addition to the OJ, I had 60 ounces of water and 2 cups of tea.
