Day 5: Feeling Good

It's day 5 of my juice fast and I feel great! I'm a little hungry now, but I've had very few times where I felt unsatisfied. I have been drinking nothing but made homemade juices (70/30 mix) and water since Monday.

Day 2 and 3 were tough. I had extreme headaches both afternoons. I am glad I read a lot about the juice fast prior because I'd prepared myself for them, but headaches are brutal. I feel for people who get migraines.

Today I even felt up to working out (though I didn't have the time) and supplemented a couple of homemade juices for V8, lemon juice and hot sauce. Not just a delicious drink, but it made me feel like I was drinking a Bloody Mary at the casino. This weekend is my sister's baby shower and tomorrow I will be preparing a bacon cheese ball (yum!), raspberry punch, corn and black bean salsa as well as picking up Petit Fours. This weekend will be a true test. Can I do it? I don't know! Party food is my favorite food!

  2. Play too as in fast with me? You are welcome to join! I will admit though that today I caved making the bacon cheese ball for the party today. I even ate dinner. Then I got pretty sick to my stomach and wished I hadn't. I'm headed back to the juice fast by Monday.
