Day 2

So .... before I get into how my morning started today for Day 2, I must fill in the rest of day one and how it went. To start with, I didn't get hungry until about 5 or 6pm yesterday. So 8 or so hours of juicing before the starving started. But the urge to put food in my mouth even when I wasn't hungry was insane. I would go by the pantry and open the door out of habit and then remember I'm juicing so no food for me. Then I would shuffle away disappointed and silently cursing myself for deciding to juice fast. I drank most of my juices in the morning or first half of the day yesterday and I think that I probably should have spaced them out some. Also, my lunch juice was a total fail. It was so disgusting I ended up having to chug it just to get it down. Lesson learned, not a fan of beets that are not pickled. I did drink a little bit of apple cider vinegar to help with my cravings. That has always worked for me in the past and it helped yesterday.

 This morning, I woke up with a headache and severe nausea. I managed to get myself to the bathroom and use the toilet then get on the scale. I was shocked and completely excited to see that I had lost 4 lbs in one day. Obviously, all water weight, but 4 lbs nonetheless. I called my mother to get some moral support and told her at least twice I wish I hadn't decided to juice fast. I sent some desperate texts to some friends asking for prayers to make it through this day. I ended up having to take some zofran and ibuprofen to manage the nausea and headache. The zofran worked so well and got rid of the nausea. The ibuprofen lessened the headache to where it is bearable. My brain feels foggy and I'm sure I'll have to come back and edit this when I'm thinking clearly again. My apologies for any rambling and misspellings. I've had one green juice this morning that was ok. I think I went overboard on the celery. I'm learning that it's trial and error on these juice fasts. Just because the recipe is on pinterest or in a juice book doesn't mean I will like the way it tastes. I will say that I'm not hungry at all today. The constant food postings on Facebook aren't even getting to me like they usually do when I diet. (And with the big 2017 Snow, there are TONS of food postings)

 I wrote down all the produce that I juiced yesterday and it was crazy. Here it is: 1 lb bag of kale whole pineapple 1 green apple 5 stalks of celery 2 large cucumbers 1 beet (including the greens attached) 1 bunch of spinach 13 carrots 3 medium sized tomatoes 1 inch of ginger root 1 lemon 2 oranges I also drank about 2 1/2 liters of water It's amazing how if you can just push through, you can accomplish things you never dreamed you were capable of. 9 more days to go. I can't wait to see what I feel like at the end of this journey.
