Yesterday was a snow day. Surprisingly, I wasn't tempted to eat anything.
I learned however that eating has become a habit or accessory with so many other past times. So when I was watching tv, I felt like something was missing... maybe some popcorn? When I chatting on the phone, I swore I should have had a banana. Its interesting to think how often we eat just because.
It also humbled me to think that there are people in other countries as well as my own who eat when they can and here I am taking it for granted that I graze all day out of habit. When you think of the amount of gluttony that has plagued much of our country, it makes the very subject of food just seem...well obscene.
For breakfast, I am sipping on spinach, grapefruit, blackberries, strawberries and a few carrots.
If you haven't realized, I toss carrots in about everything. There is no real reason for it other than they are inexpensive so I purchase them in large quantities and bulk up any juice I make with them.
I tossed some chia seeds in there to get my omega 3 dose for the day.
Today, fasting very much feels like the norm. I have a desire to eat something simply for the sensation of chewing, but I am still satisfied with the juicing. I am not hungry. Or am I just telling myself that?
Wait... I thought about it. I really don't think I am hungry. I drink all day.
Have I noticed any changes? Well not really. I feel good. I have energy. I am enjoying having this much control over what I put in my body. As for weight loss, I haven't been tracking. Im not certain of what I weighed before I started. I will hop on the scale when I am done. I already know that the majority of my loss will be water weight and some muscle mass so I dont count on it staying off. My clothing fits a bit better. I like the way I am looking. Funny enough, I broke out yesterday... I thought juicing would make me immune to things I didnt like. You know, weight gain, pimples, menstrual cramps. Not true. I have experienced it all.
So juicing doesn't mean its a ticket to fabulous and you are free from the regular occurrences of womanhood.
I have been quite "regular" I feel good about that. I feel refreshed. thats all that I can say.
I will also say that while I may look at a burger on television and want to taste it, when I am in my home, I really just want to shovel some lightly steamed broccoli in my mouth.
So ends my post. Still juicing, still drinking, still alive.
Bottom line for todays post? Its not as hard as you think... day 6 and counting.

I just wanted to say that the breaking account episode is really your body getting rid of toxins. So no you don't get rid of these natural processes that your body uses to dispel crap however its reassurance that you're definitely cleaning house. Keep going strong. I'm proud of you!
