I can't believe today marks TEN days without solid food. Whoa.
In some ways it is much easier than I thought it would. I mean conceptually to just live off juice seems and feels a little insane. But each day goes by and it almost seems normal. I'm still feeling good, feeling better than before I started the juice fast. Still losing weight which is a happy side effect.
The liver/gallbladder cleanse is in full swing now and it become more disguting every day - morning juice is garlic, ginger, olive oil, and lemon and lime. Every day increasing by another garlic clove. Yep, pretty disgusting. Also doing a healthy detox tea that I purchased at Whole Foods. It's actually delicious so I'm enjoying that. Went ahead and picked up Senna tea also. Senna is an awesome herb that really gets things moving through the colon. I can tell that my body has really gone into healing mode which means that the organs are not working as hard on their normal daily tasks...and this includes my colon. Hoping this will help it along a bit.
A huge victory for me today was finally being able to do Warrior 3 during P90X Yoga. Of course I had to contain my excitement so that I didn't lose the pose but I was SOOOO happy! I was able to do it because instead of the phrase "shit how the hell am i gonna do this?!" I simply said to myself "I CAN DO THIS." And voila, I did it! The mind is a very powerful thing! I just had to make better use of it :)
Overall just really proud of myself for doing this for ten days already. It has not been the easiest undertaking. Each day takes a ton of preparation and work but I'm glad I'm doing it! I will need to decide when to end this and start making a plan for coming off the juice fast. But for now, still happy juicing!
