It's been awhile... :)
So a couple days ago, I started to have some pains in my side which reminded me of gallbladder pain. It really made me freak out since I don't want to have my gallbladder removed. I consider it a blessing in disguise because I probably needed something medically to happen in order for me to recommit myself to being more healthy. So I decided to start to try a juicing fast again - goal...60 days..... (trying to copy Joe from FSND)
I found the first day much easier since I was in pain in my right side and it was my constant reminder that I needed to juice. By the second day I only had pain for about 15 minutes throughout the entire day. By the third day, my pain was completely gone, and they were having a potluck at work.... Believe it or not, I did not touch a single thing except for my juice, and I was very proud of myself. Now on day four, I am feeling pretty refreshed when I wake up in the morning and not having very many food cravings - it is more so just having the desire to want to eat. I relate it to the feeling a smoker may have when they want to just go through the motions and hold something in their hands.
I will admit though, that I do allow myself to eat raw fruits and/or vegetables if I feel the need. Usually I will only have an apple or kale, though with each day, although the need for eating them is becoming less and less since the juice is filling enough.
I want to be able to weigh myself, but I haven't quite decided when I am going to do that. The scale has been my enemy so many times with each effort since it doesn't move in increments of 20 on a daily basis... (lol...) For that reason, I am purposely avoiding the scale until I have seen majorly noticeable results so that I can keep my focus on the other benefits of juicing.
I have missed blogging... but I do intend to try to make it more of a priority. Hope everyone is doing well!
