I feel pretty good. Yesterday it said I have lost 9.6 pounds. The bf thinks my belly looks better, and my shape is narrowing at the waist. I saw a photo of me making juice yesterday, and I feel like my arms look a little more toned, and my clothes look big.
Aside from my crisis yesterday where I waited too long to get myself to some juice, I feel fine. I have added pureed 'soup' to my menu. So far I have had the corn/bell pepper one. The ingredients are good, nothing bad other than a little salt. I got the soup from the trader joes market. I also bought a sweet potato soup from them and some vegetable broth. Haven't tried them yet. Let me say, going to the grocery store and to the farmers market was HARD! So many things I wanted to buy or try. But I was good and stuck to fruits I could juice.
The bf helped me make some DELICIOUS juice. I made pink grapefruit juice, which I sweetened with honey. I also made a fresh pineapple/strawberry juice, which is really good. I bought some concord grapes from the farmers market, and it made really good juice. I made the mistake of mixing it with some peaches I juiced. The peaches wound up not being very sweet; kind of bland. But the grapes were delicious.
I'm so glad I made them. Tuesday through Friday of last week all I had was carrot/orange, or orange. Toooooooo much!
This has given me an appreciation of food. I would randomly snack prior to this, and I think it helped keep excess weight on me. I was thinking yesterday it was so rare I would eat and actually be hungry. Like stomach grumbling hungry. Americans eat too much.
I felt a euphoric feeling yesterday for about an hour. I decided to do some yoga stretches to some awesome music. I sat in the (overcast) sun for 10 or 15 minutes and planted some stuff in the garden. I was asleep by 8:45 p.m.
One other thing I noticed (when I was going through a mini crisis) was my increased awareness of my emotions. Interesting stuff. It was very brief, but interesting it came up.
Today I feel fine. I was up early, did my homework, and went back to cuddle with the bf for awhile. Then I got up, had some juice, and took a bath.
My pain level has been up the past few days. I have heard when juice fasting the body takes time to heal, and can increase pain injuries (even previous ones). That is the only thing I can think of as to why this is happening, other than maybe having some sort of infection.
Anyhow, that is it for now. I think I can easily last another few days. 14 days is the goal. I will see how I feel in a few days.
