So, I've been away from here for awhile. 41 days if you look at my weight ticker. :)
I haven't gained ALL the weight back or anything (a few pounds over Thanksgiving, yes, i'm at 192.2 this morning).
The main reason i'm writing this is to keep a log of what i'm doing now, to help keep me accountable. Other than doing a blog, i didn't know of another way to keep a journal of what i'm embarking on (other than real paper of course, but i type a heck of a lot faster than i write). Anyway...
Today is DAY 1 of a juice fast. I know, i know, people are going to think one way or another about it. However, being vegan already, the idea of a juice fast is fascinating to me. How can the body rebuild, fix, repair and survive all on juice?
Well, after watching Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead (as it looks like TONS of people did, and thus began juice fasts), i realized that it IS possible and very good for someone. I'm not looking for a right or wrong answer here...basically just posting my results as i go through the process. I'm doing this not only to lose weight, but to reset my body, to give it the chance to re-heal and reset itself.
Day 1: Started out great. Felt like i was on top of the world this morning. That i would DO this and be so content afterwards, that i was certainly able to do this for 30 days. By noon, my stomach was starting to grumble and i got this fog of "wtf am i doing??" and i felt weak. Anyway, went home for lunch (was going to make juice, but it didn't quite appeal to me so i drank of Odwalla Superfood). I've been at work all day so i haven't had much time to think about food and being hungry, which has been really nice. However, the spare moments that i have had to think, food and the same "wtf am i doing?" thoughts pop into my head. I've been trying to read blogs about how people got through the first few days of a juice fast, and it seems like what i'm feeling isn't any different than anyone else. I just have to push through!!!
So day one, still trying to figure this thing out and i'm waiting for the euphoric feeling everyone talks about. :)
