Veggies, yes, climactic finish to my 42BDC, no

Eating 10 servings of raw veggies per day was a piece of cake.  Started every morning with a green smoothie:

Convenient, tasty, three easy servings of veggies.

Snacked on veggies and had some kick ass salads for lunches and dinners.  Experimented with raw squash, raw beet, and some other veggies.

This doesn't look like a chore, does it?  I never got sick of eating vegetables during this 42 days eating ala La Lanne. 



Problem was, I did not lose any weight.  In fact, I gained a few pounds.  I think psychologically my guard and vigilance was down about everything else I was eating.  How could my diet NOT be healthy with all those raw veggies? 

Apparently, that was an effed up way to spend the 42 days, b/c I thought I would get wicked lean, and instead I got a little muffin top.  Damn it.
