Day four and I am still going, yes I am impressed too.
Now I didn't sleep well at all last night, so was feeling a bit rough. As I was unprepared for this juice fast I had a my first live G+ hangout today so there was no time to stop. Had a few mentally deranged moments in the day mostly because of my bank Santander, so not sure I can put that down to juicing or their ineptness, but I have found I can't do fools this week. Which is a good thing!
I felt so inspired as soon as I started work ,I was doing that I was forgetting that it was time to juice and did slack off on the water in the day. I paid a price for that as later in the afternoon I felt really woozie, almost to the point I was going to eat something. It was not a nice feeling. I went as far as the kitchen and just couldn't. It was like I am not ready to break this fast just yet.
If it wasn't for the lovely packaged and pre-maid juices by the lovely lot at
Soul Mate Food I think the breaking of the juice cleanse would have happened without too much struggle. I guess you are meant to take it easy when your body is being given a chance to rest, it makes sense.
Juice four is lovely deep red colour. I wasn't sure when I looked at the list of what its got in it, as I got caught on the word currant, but red currant is fine if not a bit tangtastic.
This is one a great afternoon pick me up juice...and the colour is what I want my nails to be!
As the day is ending I am feeling strong and back on mission the wobble has gone. I am at my mum's which is usually my food den, she has so much delicious stuff everywhere it would be rude not to eat. Yet I have managed it and it was aided by her saying wow you look really good.
I didn't weigh myself before I started this so am not going to be able to report 'lbs' lost. Yet I do know things that were snug aren't and I do know it isn't permanent either unless I think about what and how I eat beyond this. I know I am never going to be raw, or just a juicer but I am going to be different in my approach to food, as anything once it becomes your master you do have to kick it to touch. Yet I am sure that makes me sound like I have an eating disorder, or some obesity issue. I assure you not. I have just never in my life had to diet or think about what I eat and the last few years just started to say, hey watch what you eat missy!
I did book myself a post cleanse lunch for Saturday, at somewhere quite special and appropriate to break such a cleanse and bulk fast, so clearly the short term end is in sight. Not going to tell you where just yet, it's a surprise!
Whatever got me here, I am pleased it did. Going to decide whether to go for juicing next week again while I dream and this sleep is well deserved. Inside I may be crying as it has been tough but on the outside I am shining, I think quite literally. I just hope I don't dream of pizzas as that would be cruel!
