I do not feel malnourished!
I am only cheating on carrot sticks and steamed veg.
I am juicing all day for 2 straight days!
You read that right, I made it over the hunger hump!!! I can not began to tell you how great that feels! Both Scott and I are seeing the scale go down. It is working and it is not as much work anymore. I feel like I can do this.
I am doing a bit of a happy dance on the inside. Juicing is awesome so far. I truly enjoy the veggie/fruit juice that we are dining on. It also helps that Scott is our juice chef. He is awesome, waking up every AM to prep our juice for the day. I am not going to be able to juice 100% of the time. I have to injest some type of solid or I might kill somebody. The solid has been only veg or a piece of fruit and I don't feel guilty about it.
Day 4 was cheat free! First day of success. I was very proud of myself. We had our normal concauctions. The orange one in the morning and the green one in the afternoon. We had a fruit smoothie for dinner. I only dined on carrots with some peanut butter. My only complaint is I am having a hard time with water intake. I guess because I drink my food, I don't feel thirsty. So eating the carrots with peanut butter is helping with that. Peanut butter makes you thirsty. I know you knew that but I thought I would state the obvious to fill in some space!
Detox process
No headaches so far. I am peeing more than I ever have. That is starting to slow down back to normal. I feel like my kidneys are properly cleansed. I do not feel like my colon has been cleansed... Get ready for TMI. I am not pooping like I hoped we would! Gross, I know. That is the best part about detox is you cleanse your system and if I am not having gut bombs I am not feeling like the system is being cleansed. I am going to go with I have more liquid in less solid so nothing can come out solid. We discussed adding some soluble fiber to our juice to see if that would work. No worries my friends I will share if it works with you very soon!
Day 5 was not my favorite day. I headed to my favorite place in the whole wide world, the Doctor office! Yep, that place is like Disney, so much fun. Being poked and prodded is a flipping blast. Looking at what looks like an alien figure growing inside of me is like making a horror movie. Just like Universal Studios. Let me tall ya, it was a fun trip. Found out that protein is a bad, bad thing for me and that I have a giant cyst that has little friends, and it is infected. Fun times. I got a shot and some other stuff then the best part came.. The Dr called me Super Woman! OK, so those weren't his exact words but he did keep asking me how I am functioning with this level of cyst, most women would be in the hospital. Not me, nope I am not going there! I will suck it up because I know it will go away. It will hurt but just like always it will be gone soon. If it isn't going to kill me why go on a tricare paid vacation. Although, now that I typed that out I may go get my bag and head toward the nearest
Juicing on day 5 was good. I didn't really have an appetite so it was kind of a gimme day. I did eat the broth and veg left over in Jillian's soup bowl and I may have added a few crackers. Guess what I didn't feel a bit guilty after all that prodding around I earned that quarter cup of soup. It tasted pretty good. I did injest all my juices and they were good like always. We are just two days away from a full week of juicing! We are doing this people!!!
On a spiritual note, I am finding that praying in place of hunger is very fulfulling. I have heard of people fasting and when they feel hugry they pray. So the last two days I have done just that. No, I haven't been praying that my hunger would be taken away. Although, that might be incorporated at some point soon. Funny how things work. I pray when I am hungry instead of eating and the last two days have been great! Man, God is a rock star!
Don’t worry about anything;
instead, pray about everything.
Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
Philippians 4:6
