The juice fast, Day 1
Severe detox symptoms, a bad day.
Feel free to comment!

The first day of the fast kicked off rather well, I had some hot water with lemon in the morning and the remaining double-diluted vegetable soup for breakfast (yes, a tiny cheat there). The soup was really a calculated plan, though, since I needed to ride my bike to town for an appointment and I was confident plain juices wouldn't provide me with sufficient energy for it all. Indeed the trip was stretched out to about five hours of not drinking anything, as somehow I didn't feel it was necessary for me to buy something while out in town even though I realized I had a bit more to to while there than anticipated. I just wasn't hungry. This was a bad plan. Eventually when I got home I did two sets of laundry and took them to the communal dryer room in my apartment house, and only between there somewhere I was able to make and consume my first juices of the day (cucumber, tomato-ginger and apple).
All this activity was more than I can usually handle in one day due to whatever it is that ails me - even laundry in itself, or a short bike trip to an appointment once a week - is about enough for the whole week, the other days I need to rest. So come evening and the busy day took a major turn to the worse. I had consumed all of the juices that I had planned to prepare that day and was contempt with that, and since there was no hunger I had a big glass of cold-pressed blackcurrant juice for thirst. Around there I started experiencing a headache. I have been prone to migraines for maybe seven years, but I did take this as detox symptoms. However some time after finishing the glass of juice I started feeling increasingly nauseous - something that I do occasionally connect with migraines, but this time it only got worse. I threw the juice up. This has happened only once during a migraine attack, so I could only connect this with detoxing. I have never experienced such severe detox symptoms before, even that sort of a headache was new. I was feeling terribly dodgy although vomiting did really ease the nausea.
The rest of the day I was really under the weather, able to only watch a movie and have a few tiny sips of cold peppermint tea. I think I had a very small amount of honey, too, simply because I was feeling so shaken. Did I have an enema that day? Probably, I can't remember (my apologies, my memory hasn't served me properly in several years now). If I did, I remember getting only maybe a liter of water in, perhaps the headache had something to do with not being able to relax and concentrate. However I did set up a candle in the bathroom, put the radio on on a nice soothing channel and had a duvet and pillow with me to bring some comfort into the process. This all, I think, is something I'm going to keep doing along with having an extra jug of water next to me ready so that I can refill the bag. Yesterday I accidentally broke my previous bag by leaving it full of water overnight thinking it would be a good idea it was ready for the next flush, but the plastic gave in and all of that water was on the bathroom floor in the morning, and I had to get a new bag while out in town today. Unfortunately it's a much smaller one with absolutely no size markings to point out exactly how much water I'm able to hold, and I had to begin preparing for the next flush by making those markings myself. The bag was over double the price of the previous one, too, so I think it's only logical to be disappointed. Needing to refill the bag mid-flush is not good for focus in my opinion, but it'll have to do for now.
I did get lost on my bike back home not only once but twice, this slight confusion and other mild mental issues started on the first day. Man, I feel old.
