Day 21 and dishpan hands

I'm on day 21, the end of it that is, and still hanging in there.  I had a small salad yesterday with a teeny amount of dressing but it stopped my weight loss.  It's ok, I'm happy with the 15 lbs I've lost so far.  Obviously I have a lot more weight to lose and I will be continuing with the juice in some form after the 28 days.  I haven't decided how much, but I will keep juicing.  My biggest complaint(s) are how long it takes to juice every night and how hard it is on my poor hands.   My hands are a mess!  Dishpan hands big time!  They are dry and rough and it hurts!  Plus peeling the limes and other Citris fruit gets into my cuts and stings like crazy!  I can't knit because my hands hurt so much.   I have started wearing gloves for some of the washing up but preparing the fruits and veggies is not easy with gloves.  I wash everything again and again.  And my neck hurts from looking down to cut it all up.  Ok. I'll quit complaining now.  I'm happy with the results but wish I could afford a juice chef.  Lol. My husband helps sometimes but he has a lot of other chores too.  So I tough it out.  My blood pressure just measure at 100/68 so I am tickled about that.  No more meds for me!  I'm thinking to wean off of the thyroid medicine too just to see where I am.  I'll go get blood tests later once I'm off everything just to see.  My numbers were great last time I checked and I wonder how much they have improved since then.  I had to get some new clothes this weekend too.  So life is good.  Hahaha
