Day 3

First day back to work after starting this juice detox. I woke up with a ton of energy and was 3 lbs lighter,making it 5 lbs total in 3 days! All of the ladies I work with are super supportive. They keep cheering me on and not talking about food which helps! So I decided if I could eat anything right now it would be like my death row last meal type of deal. It would be Rotisserie Chicken with Herlochers dipping mustard, Velveeta Mac and Cheese and Rigatoni with meat sauce..don't forget the garlic bread. For dessert, Applebees blondie.

Ok, now that I am starving, or so I think, I am grateful to do this because I realized that when I say I am starving, I don't think I am actually starving. I think I just want food. I'm not starving, starving people live in countries where they are too poor to eat or the poverty level is so low they cannot eat. That is not me. I also have given thought that religions go on fasts for 21 days without food or water. I also have been thinking what classifies bread as an essential food? When you say I am just getting the essentials like milk,bread and eggs. Since when are those "essential" foods? Bread had so much artificial things in it and the carb count is wicked, milk is not made for humans but it is made for animal to eat and get larger, and eggs..well I do like eggs and I suppose they are healthy for you. I guess I am eating essentially, vegetables and fruits. I am considering myself  a vegetarian but in juice form. I am nourishing my body. I tend to get scared when I am feeling sick that maybe this is not normal but my body and I shouldn't be doing this but then again, why didn't I question when I was eating fast food. Why didn't I feel sick? I believe it was normal years of behavior. Ok so now this is my normal behavior. Through changing my thought process in the habits of my eating has helped me through this detox.  I also have spent alot of time meditating. It is not the meditation that one sits with their legs crossed and does the thumb to middle finger meditation but more sit quietly and just be surrounded by quietness.

In the morning I had a ton of energy and no headache. As the day went on I had a bad headache and was very tired. I decided I needed more juice to bring with me from home so every time I was hungry, I would drink. This may help. today for lunch, the kids had pizza. Ok, mind you, the pizza looked like cardboard. I still wanted it. Hopefully I will start to crave juice and no longer food soon, like they say will happen. I realize I also have ups and downs in my day with my feeling of being sick. I need to realize it is because the toxins are leaving my body. Here's to juicing and my nap I am about to take! Did I mention I have been super tired? Till tomorrow
