Blog: journal of my 30 day juice fast
i call this my second milestone because at the start i said i wanted to make it to day 5, where apparently you start to feel better- well i kind of did and then kind of didtn later at night. and then i wanted to make it to day 7 (today!!!! yeah!!! congrats to me)to see if i had lost any weigth - which i have. now my next milestone is day 10/11 when apparently i will start to feel calm clean and clear. my next milestone is day 15 half way where i will reward myself with massage. then i am goin for day 20/21 which hopefully should be when all this yuck comes out of my intestines and another massage. then day 30 to finish fast and i dare say will take me 4 or 5 days to come off fast (althougth i will need to work this out better when i get closer)
last nite (other than full of contemplation) was quit good. didnt miss anything really.. stayed up late and watched a movie - and 8 teeenage boys to keep an eye on. so a little tired today. my husband came home from business trip and he had a few beers didnt bother me at all. he did ask me if this was ok before he had them which i thought was extremely thoughtful. woke up today still feeling really bloated so going to health store to pick up psyillium???husks to give them a go. still only 6 juices a day. feeling really good other than stomach. lost another pound - 8 now. although now i am starting to really look into the whole colon cleansing aspect of this fast. i really want to get that stuff out of my insides so considering my options. i could do enenema (yuck ouch yuck ouchh) or could go in for colon irrigation (ouch ouch ouch) or maybe try a cleansing kit you can buy over internet (may research this a bit more) or just wait and see if i can eleminate it thru juicing and see if husk things work better for my bowels. ok will see how husks go and also research cleanse kit. if anyone reading has done one let me know if you had much success??????
oh i just realised that i might be making this whole juice thing sound much easier than it is. it is still a constant choice for me... i choose not to eat all the time. although i think the time i spend thinkin about eating has reduced.. mmmmm ..maybe not. constantly questioning why am i doing this and have to reaffirm myself that this is something i want to do for me and no one else. really focused on the feeling i will have accomplishing 30 days and how i will feel hopefully 30 pounds lighter. i started this fast with 4 people, one has broken fast completely one has broke briefly and gone back on and one has stayed the course. however i am now the only one who wants to go the full 30 days they will do 14 days. and i thought this would upset me more than it has but i think i am at the point that i dont need anyone else to motivate me (encourage yes yes yes please) but i am pretty pumped to do this! hard as it is...
so for anyone that is reading this to get inspiration to try it well i gotta say go for it. but you have to really want it. i did. i do. and the first 3 days were awful for me and then my first friday nite was awful but now it is not too bad. not great yet but not too bad.

Day 7! Excellent! I'm so proud of you! When you get your massage, ask if the therapist can/will do abdominal massage. It helps break up and move stuff in your large intestine (I'm a massage therapist and learned this technique, LOVE it!). And drink lots and lots of water after your massage. It's going to feel SO wonderful! I'm happy for you!
Hugs,
numii

Hi there. I have been reading your blog from 2006 when you did the juice fast. I am mentally preparing myself this whole week, I start my fast on Saturday. It is my first time fasting and am really excited and determined. I am going at it alone and don't know at all what to expect.
I have a question. What is MC Lemonade? Also this no pooping thing is kinda freaking me out. What did you do about that?
I wanted to talk with someone who has done a juice fast before, I'm sort of going in it blind. I have done a lot of reading on it, and pretty much know what to expect, but still a little grey in some areas.
Please write me back..
Thanks,
Natalie
