It’s day 3 and I am 5 pounds lighter. Thank God. I deserve a reward for drinking fruits and vegetables for the last few days.
Yesterday I didn’t drink all of my drinks, making this more a fast than a cleanse. I just couldn’t. I was drinking so slow and then next thing I knew it was 8:30 and I had 3 drinks to go. And the first was coconut water. Impossible. Mom drank all of her drinks. Go Girl! But I was stuck after the second green drink. What tasted so fresh and so clean clean on day 1 was so hard to swallow day 2.
I hoped if I started the day early I could drink everything and be done with this cleanse. Everything tastes a little better today. Thankfully. Because yesterday I was complaining so much I really didn’t know if I would make it.
I signed up for yoga class this morning and as soon as I signed up I thought to myself, “maybe this isn’t the best idea.” When I laid down on my mat I saw stars. It was psychological. It had to be. I am not malnourished. I am getting all of the nutrients I need through my juices. So I needed to get the thoughts of passing out out of my mind and focus on my practice. An hour later I was still standing and ready for my next juice.
When I asked my mom how she was doing with her juice she said, “Fuck.” I felt her. I made it though all of the juices except the coconut water. I just couldn’t. It tastes awful. I didn’t expect it to but its really really terrible.
I was adding items to my mental grocery list all day. I am so excited to eat. To chew. This is what we’re eating tomorrow: acorn squash, eggplant, broccoli, brussel sprouts, mushrooms, tomatoes, avocados. I can’t wait to sink my teeth in the vegetables.
I have complaining the last 2 days but I think it’s was a good way to get a tune up. And I am sure (even though it’s not acting like it) my body is thanking me.
