| Fasting Journal - Day 5 of Juice Fast
Okay last night was rough. I was hungry and had cravings. Maybe I should have had more juice to ease the pain, but I am stubborn and a perfectionist so I had to fast the "right" way. Anyway I was exhausted and weak and just wanted to sleep.
This morning I woke up with a bit more energy but still feel weak in my body. Went for a short walk to get blood flowing and did some push ups.
Drank some water and went to work. At work I felt weak, so I made some tea. Now I feel a bit better but still somewhat weak and tired. Not so much hungry though so that is a nice change.
10:49 - Drank 1 bottle of water and having some juice to try to pick up energy. At times I question "why the heck am I doing this" "does this really cleanse the system or did I buy into bull crap" - but my stubbornness will keep me fasting.
I just hope I am not hurting my body. I am doing this to help my body so it would tick me off not to do this right.
I want to make it to 10 days. I think I can. I really want to break my addition to food and stop these insane cravings and I think it will take longer than 5 days to do, but it is difficult when people invite me out to eat and etc.
But I am strong. sometimes I forget that and don't give myself credit.
I will feel amazing after those 10 days of juice fasting. I can't wait. Next Wed! and I am a new woman. Just got to remain focused and in control of my emotions and thoughts. I can do this.
Now.. back to work. :)
11:47 feeling better after drinking juice.
3:29 feeling good. A bit tired, but not so weak anymore. No hunger really and that is saying a lot because I am working on an ice cream web site looking at ice cream all day ahhh torture.
4:10. starting to feel a little hungry, tummy growling... haven't used the restroom in awhile yikes...
Wow I felt great in the evening had high energy drank veggie broth (not in bowl just drank it from a cup because using a spoon made me want to eat food.) and had prune juice
and ginger tea. And this is a weird part of fasting they warn you about: my pee smells funny.
