Day 8

It's the morning of day 8 in my juice fast. I am finding it hard to believe that at the end of today I will have gone 8 days of my life.... in a row... on just juice and water. That in itself is a miracle. Even on my cleanses that I've done in the past I've only ever done a water fast for one day at a time.
Day 7 of my fast went well for the first part of the day and started with lots of energy and no hunger. Then 2 o'clock rolled around and the diarrhea started. TMI right? Well, I promised an honest fasting blog and here it is. I went about 12 times yesterday. Liquid. Completely. No stomach pain. Every time I would drink something, 10 minutes later I would be in the bathroom. It made it very very very hard to do my work and I had a haircut scheduled last night so I was in a panic about what to do. It did seem that as long as I didn't drink anything, I wouldn't go. So that's how I spent a couple of hours.. just not ingesting anything. Last night when I came home, I made another juice with some fruits in it to try to rehydrate myself. And I decided that if I was still having diarrhea today I would have to stop just for health and sanity sake.

This morning, so far, no trips to the bathroom. Hallelujah. I did not lose anymore weight which is super surprising since I went to the bathroom so much! I did wake up with a slight headache, probably from being dehydrated so I'm going to drink a big ol juice here in a minute. Hopefully no trips to the bathroom will start after that juice!! It's made me nervous. HAHA


I bet you had no idea you were going to be reading a bathroom blog today. Well surprise and Happy Saturday. :) Stay tuned for more honest blogs to come.....
