Day 4
Wednesday, My head still hurts, I’m not used to headaches and I don’t like them. My legs are also ackee, it is kind of hard to sleep. Tossing and turning all night. I know my body is trying to remove all the bad shit I have put in it for years. I’m just hunkering down emotionally. I believe this is the best thing for me and my body.
I don’t think about food that often. Trying to keep my mind off of it. The hardest part of the day is when Krystal gets home. We ask each other how the day went, how we are feeling. She has been hungry most of the time, but feeling good. For some reason I haven’t really been hungry. Food creeps in my thought from time to time and I try to dismiss it. I watch Krystal as she is talking, just waiting for her to say “Well, maybe we should eat!” But she’s hard as a rock, and says, “well another day down!”
It’s like we are playing off each other. The days I’m good I say “lets just do it till we get below 200!” She will look at me like I’m crazy. But if she said she was hungry, I know I would cave in and suggest food. However so far we are hanging in there. I’m down to 215.6 now, I’m not sure if I’m going to weigh myself every day. I just need inspiration to keep moving forward, from time to time!
Day 5
Thursday, I cant believe we have made it 5 days with no food! Only Vegetable’s and Fruit Juice. I’m very proud of us. I’m feeling good! I feel hungry for short bursts during the day. But I will have a juice or water and I’m good again.
214.5 now. I’m excited maybe I have found a soultion to our weight problem. Keeping my head in the right frame of mind, I hope we will suceed and turn our life around to become more healthy!
My head is better, legs have stopped cramping and I’m sleeping better. I’m having a lot more dreams than before.
Krystal is loosing weight as well. About the same as me, I’m not going to tell you what she weighed, unless she allows me. However she is doing well. She said she feels more limber than before, is is able to bend and touch the floor more easily than before we started our juice fasting journey.
And of course like any challenge it is easier to achieve it with a partner to keep you accountable. Hello Partner!! Love you!
Day 6
Friday, I decided not to weigh myself today. I’m feeling a bit foggy, a little light headed. Need to get some Juice into me.
Although as the day goes on I change my mind, So…214.5
We are loosing about a pound a day, I’ve heard loosing weight fast like this isn’t good for you. I have also heard because we are not starving ourselves…that we are filling our bodies with nutrition from the Vegetable’s and Fruit. We are better off doing it this way than eating the typical American Diet.
Because I’m still feeling funky, we are talking about eating something on Saturday. We are still taking it day by day!
Day 7
Saturday, First of all I can’t believe we haven’t eaten food in 7 days!! Amazing! I am feeling good. My headache has gotten better. And can I say I have gone 7 days straight without Diet Coke!!! That is crazy as well, I’m not craving that either. I still have a lot in the fridge. And you guessed it…213.4
We have decided to have a salad tonight, this will be the first solid food we have eaten.
