I didn’t wake up hungry. I don’t normally but having not had solid food now for two days it is a surprise. In fact during this juice fast I don’t get hungry at all except at about the time I have all my life which is around 5ish (normally I am hungry a lot) , it might be be psychological, as it is like end of day time so must be dinner time!!! Oh what a slave to food routines one can be!

I felt great this morning, and I have to say getting the first juice into me, the carrot, apple and ginger was really needed. A warming sweet nectar, anything else would have just been too harsh, so the sweetness of the carrots is a good rouse for my body to not crave food. Good to know.

As for the picture of juice three there, oh my oh my. I am a cinnamon lover and chilli too so although there is no real heat or burning or anything from this, it is simply warming, it is right up there as my favourite juice. It is closely followed by juice one, but this one is nectar from the Gods.

I have been wondering if the juices are organic…I hope so as that would be a shame I am detoxing with pesticides.  I guess finding that out earlier would have been wise.

Being productive in the morning was not an issue although today I did choose to work from bed but I am prone to doing that anyway, that is why I work for myself as I can have the freedom to do it how I like!

Popping out for a walk in to my local town wasn’t that bad, although I did choose not to sit there while my other half had a BK lunch, I went to the health food shop instead. I wasn’t the only one, seems everyone is into health, where have I been…?

I decided to get some goodies for when I break the juice fast, but as this was a High Street health food shop the availability of the nutrition I was looking for was limited so I settled for some organic soya yoghurts.

I also got myself some probiotics and spirulina. Spirulina I am now mixing into my juices (only two a day) and the probiotics are for when I break the juice fast just to ensure good bacteria in the gut etc. Might be something worth adding to the juice cleanse, Soul Mate Food.

What has been tough today has been watching and smelling Michael cook. Even though I wouldn’t be eating what he cooked as I am a veggie, the smells have been hard but what has been fascinating is they haven’t got my tummy rumbling, just my mind. I say hard, that is probably a little too strong, it was just noticeable that I was avoiding the kitchen. But that might be because I can’t help interfere as I do love to cook!

Michael thinks my skin has got smoother on my face, I never knew it wasn’t smooth, but you live and learn. I created a video on youtube for my other main business today and thought I looked rough, but we are our most harsh judges in truth so I will ignore that analysis. That said I am not feeling the promised bounce of day three and as I draw my day to an end and say goodbye to the laptop and start juice five, I feel slightly emosh…sad. I don’t think that is down to a lack of solid food or is it because it has actually been so easy to give up solid food, something that I thought I loved. Maybe it is just grief for a pizza, a piece of toast…I have never been one for goodbyes!

Who knows?

All in all, I am surprised at how easy it is but if I was having to juice five times a day I think I would have lasted a day, too much time and too much washing up. Having the juices delivered to you is just the easy, effortless way to do this and I am considering doing this again next week too. This is beginning to feel like my Everest.
