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!

You can do it! Do you want me to play too? Might help...
ReplyDeletePlay 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.
