Juice Feast day 5

Weight: 281.2

Making juice this morning, I was amazed how much I had cravings.  I wanted Chard (makes me think of Grandma Roberts), an orange, cilantro, ginger, the red apple instead of the green one, only one cucumber, and that chopped up red cabbage in the fridge.  The result, not moo juice, but poo juice. I just stared at it thinking, "I am supposed to drink that?" It looked foul, like argentine zanja (open sewer) fowl!!!! I timidly lifted my straw to my mouth...It's great!  Totally weird how my cravings turn out to be something that is really great, I guess the body knows what it needs.

I am still sick today with a runny nose and some achy, but again I feel much better than the rest of the hord. I decided not to run today because of my aches and pains.  I think today has been my hardest day.  I had my first headache today, and later in the day I was feeling a little buzzed, like I was caffeinated and not in the good way.  I checked my blood sugar and it was ok. The bad thought of the day was "five days is enough" I was really ready to bag it several times today, I had to kill about 45 min at the store while waiting for Heidi to finish an appointment and although I did not walk down the regular food isles, I was very tempted by smells and things I saw in other people's carts. I am craving corn tortillas, good refried beans, and guacamole like crazy!


I expected to get results from the doc today but don't have them yet.  I did notice today that my hunger/desire for something in my stomach started to wain today, but not the desire for something in my mouth as you saw above. I made a lot of juice for tonight (32 oz) and I still have most of it left (25 oz). Part of that is the sweetness of the afternoon juice today (the banana threw it over the top), but I think part of that was that I just didn't need to keep myself full like I did on previous days.

Here's hoping that I am turning the corner!
