Today is day 6 of my detox. I was on juice for 2 days, not three like I had originally planned. I wasn't feeling very well though on just juice and I was really hoping to feel much better by day 4 and 5. I was still cranky and weak. Maybe it's because I drank nothing but water for 3 days...boy that was hard...or maybe it was because I don't have a juicer and I had to buy store bought juice. I went to Henry's to buy the juice and they really don't have a lot of choices for organic juice that are not too expensive. I did cheat one night and have a very very small amount of food...I actually felt a lot better after I ate it. Next time I do a detox I think I'll follow a program. Perhaps I'll feel better and can last longer.
I have lost 9 pounds so far in the last 6 days, so that's pretty cool. I don't know if I'll keep it off though after I start eating, but I plan to!
Today I started juice and veggie smoothies, man was it good to have some real food in my body, even though it was blended, not solid and I drank it instead of eating it. I seemed to have more energy and be back to my normal self. I wasn't really hungry today for solid food, but I still got cravings. Especially when I'm out and about I always want to eat out...one of my weaknesses! But to my amazement, I stayed strong and didn't go out to eat today. I told myself that I've gone 5 1/2 days without solid food and that I would be able to eat out within a few days or so, so I could wait. I didn't want to ruin all of my hard work and sacrifice for the last 6 days!
I'm not sure what I'll do tomorrow. I might continue with just smoothies or I might cave in and eat a salad. It's Sunday and I know I'll probably want to go out to eat...we'll see. I still want to be very careful because I don't want to spoil what I've done this last week.
