DAY 2 OF JUICE FAST

Ok, second day of the fast.  This morning's movement was very cleansing.  It felt like a lot of toxins released.

Since I am just replacing one meal today, I will not call it a fast just yet.  I had a half a bagel and coffee (decaf)for breakfast, a small lunch and then a little ice cream for a snack.

Tonight I replaced my dinner with a juice.  I used bananas, apples, blueberries, almonds and water.  It was good.

I also did 25 minutes of yoga and it seems to be rejuvenating.  Also, again I took a nap this time I ended up taking a two hour nap which made me feel awesome.

Now back to the drawing board.

DAY ONE OF JUICE FAST




I have decided to go on this journey to better health.  Sounds cliche I know but being halfway thorough life I found that my body is not responding kindly to the crap I feed it

For one, I am such a chocoholic!  Love it like a feen.  But if I continue to love it, I might as well invest more money in pharmaceutical and maybe even the dreaded Obamacare.  Since I cant fight city hall. I feel it is time to take charge of my well-being.

In order to make myself disgusted with chocolate, I decided to have a big slab of the huge chocolate cake to-go from cheesecake factory last night's leftover.  I mean it was a huge one! I am pretty sure I will miss mu coffee too but if my mind makes it easy for me to get through the first few days then I should be ok.

So CHEERS!

Update:  The whole rest of the day was pretty successful.  Toxins are a bastard I must say!  I felt sluggish all day.  My cells literally jumping out of my skin it felt like.  I took a one hour nap that I can compare to 8 hours of deep sleep because I woke up rejuvenated but very feverish.

At the end of the night, I had a migraine headache.  I also felt really bad so I succumbed to a 1/4 of a bagel.  Perhaps my system cannot be shocked too much. My headache went away after that and I was able to sleep a deep sleep.

Analysis:  Based on how I felt, I must have had a huge collection of toxin because my body rejected every turn until I gave in.  But don't write me off just yet.  Maybe my body is telling me not to shock my system so quickly.  I decided tomorrow I would replace one meal.
