Today is Sunday, our first day of Juice Fasting! Wrapping my head around changing my life style is one of the hardest things I’ve done. For this juicing fast, I’ve almost had to revert inward. Almost like I’m the only person around. Its hard to explain…maybe protecting myself, wrapping a bubble around myself? Or a blanket, drawing into…me!
Now anyone that has ever wanted to change something about themselves knows, it is more mental then physical. Getting your head into the game and keeping it there is the hurdle to over come.
Physically I’m fine, not hungry, I drank 5 juices and lots of water. When I fixed the boy’s their breakfast and lunch, it was almost like I had to look through the food, not really see it. I did smell it however, but most of it smelled greasy. That was strange, because I’ve never really smelled grease in food before.
Over all I would have to say day one of my juice fast was good. However I am still protecting myself, almost like I was holding my breathe. Trying to keep calm. But I’m good, I’m good, I’m fine!
Day 2
Monday, I decided to weigh myself. I’m a big believer of not weighting yourself. I believe you should go with how you feel and look, not how much you weigh…that is just a number.
However I felt like knowing my weight and getting a starting point in my juicing fast was a good idea. So here I go stepping on the scale in God knows how many years.
I believe I’m close to 250, lately I’ve been feeling really heavy, bloated more like a chunky monkey. So I get on the scale and I’m 220.2 WOW, that makes me feel a lot better than I was feeling. However, still I’m…220 lb. Not good!
I really have a headache, I’m not used to this feeling, my head is pounding. I should tell you I’m a big diet coke drinker. Diet coke used to be about the only thing I would drink, with very little water. However since I’ve moved in with Krystal, (constant harping from her) I have cut way back on the diet cokes. So my though are, the headache are from going cold turkey from diet coke.
BUT, I’M STILL NOT HUNGRY!!!
Day 3
Tuesday, I’m still hanging in there, I’m not hungry. Still drinking 4 to 5 glasses of Juice and drinking lots of water. I did weight myself again today. Down to 217.6
I needed a little more inspiration to get through the day so…Yes you guessed it, back to the Documentary’s. I seen on Joe Cross Community Face Book page. Someone mentioned “Super Juice Me” by Jason Vale. I found the movie on YouTube, and watched it. Watching other people do this and successfully improve their weight and health, inspires me!
Jason only has them juice for 28 days. I mean 28 days isn’t really that long if you think about it! Right? That is only 4 weeks out of your life to get healthy! I should be able to do this!
Then I think…I am only on day 3, it feels like a year already…How can ever do 28 days? Am I that strong?
Day 3 and I’m still not hungry, not craving food. Besides the headache of detoxing, I’m feeling good!
I donβt always harp on Diet Coke π β I am extremely proud of you and happy to go through this experience with you!! Happy Juicing!!
