Hey Sister Lisa:
Day 10, right? We take out starchy veggies.
Got your post. I think its a positive thing you were feeling the way you did. Tells me you are detoxing. I haven't yet felt any of those symptoms. I have been eating a ton, probably not drinking enough water and have still had a little oil in my diet with roasted veggies and such. Is that ok?
So these are the 2 days leading into the juicing. I am going to try to do more liquids today. I did buy a juicer at Target. It was only $60 and its a Breville. I have a busy morning running around, but hope to make some broth and veggie salad this afternoon to hold me for the next couple days.
I feel ready for the juicing portion. I kind of want to start it and get it over with already. I'm a little concerned with how much I have been eating. I am usually a pretty light eater (except when I'm anticipating a cleanse and then I'm a lumberjack) but since I've been on this I'm eating a LOT! I've only dropped 2 pounds but figure with the juice portion, I'll drop a couple more. I'd like to keep it off after the cleanse and so I am already thinking about strategies for not overdoing it after the juicing portion when I am going to be hungry and ready to eat.
I have played around with intermittent fasting with some success. I'm wondering if I may pick that up again. Maybe that is why my detox hasn't been bad (No, probably more likely because I have been consuming a lot and not really giving my body the chance to cleanse). We shall see what the juicing brings!
Hang in there. Sometime in December or the New Year, we can go for burgers:))

Sister Pam!
ReplyDeleteYeah, this was a hard day. Not feeling super creative and somewhat limited without starchy veggies. Salad is hard to eat when it's f-n freezing outside! But, powered through and had salad, a bunch of berries and (defrosted) peaches, juices and apples today.
I'm looking forward to the juicing, too! Have fun with your new juicer and be sure to get lots and lots of fruits and veggies...they go fast in the juicer.
You usually don't start dropping lbs until after the juice part. Just be sure to talk some walks and get sun (vitamin D) and fuel often during the juice days. Get a massage, take baths, be good to yourself. Coming out of juicing part, take it easy and eat small portions to ease your body back into solid foods.
The juicing part should be easier than a fast, I think. Full-on fasting is hard mentally and physically. So if that's like doing an Ironman, this should be a 5K for you!
Thursday night before bed, take two digestive stimulators (DS from now on...takes too much energy to type all that out!).
Yes, burgers in our future. :)
