The weekend was alright.
Stuck to the juice!
I started adding soy protein powder to my juices since I wasn't feeling as strong during my workouts. I certainly hope that helps. I feel good overall though. Still sleeping like a baby! So grateful for that!
Because it was the Sabbath I had to take a bite of bread for the blessing. I followed Yehuda's advice (the person who inspired me to explore a juice fast in the first place), and just chewed the challah (bread) until it was pretty much liquid before I swallowed it. Strangely I think just the little bit of bread affected me. Either that or the protein; then again it could just be the impact of the juicing cleansing my body. I felt lethargic and bloated all weekend. Hope this passes.
I'm also gearing up for the liver/gallbladder cleanse. It's gonna be super intense - lots of garlic and ginger! I'm excited to keep putting so much effort into my body and health. I wasn't able to make it to the Farmer's Market due to other commitments so I hit up Whole Foods instead. Muy caro! But I'm committed to this experience and to doing this for my body. Each time I hesitate I see a score board in my mind "Kaley vs. MS" and I think of each decision as an opportunity for me to put another point up on MY side of the board. I gotta say, surprises me that cost is the only major hesitation I've had so far. I love the juice, I love how I feel. I love knowing how much energy and effort I am putting into myself. This experience is teaching me that I AM worth it. That my body and my health deserve EVERYTHING, no matter how many obstacles I have to overcome or how many other things I have to cut out of my life. It is a great feeling to realize how important I am and I just pray that my body appreciates all this attention I'm giving it!
