Blog: journal of my 30 day juice fast
thank goodness finally i feel fantastic. i slept like a rock woke up rejuvenated and light and full of energy. i tried on some jeans i have not been able to wear for 2 years and they fit. i have just been for a walk and i felt like i was gone for 10 minutes not an hour. actually today i had decided to give myself a day off walking but there was no way i wasnt going. i cannot get the smile off my face. im not sure why it took this long to get this feeling but i am just so glad i stuck it out.
i have some thoughts on why it may have taken this long. one is that i was overeating over drinking and under exercising far too much so my body just needed this long to start to get better. for the past 3 years in particular i have not looked after myself at all. i have put on 20 pounds in less than 3 years. i know exactly why this happened adn i will blog more about that later. my second theory is the combination of juice, lemonade, broth and herbal tea is really working for me. i was so fixed on just having juice and how many i was suppose to have that i forgot to be a little flexible. lesson to myself. i was following a program designed for someone else and i didnt make it my own. i was obsessed about BM's and the lax's were making me feel disgusting. no more of that i am going to be a lot more gentle on myself and just relax a little.
so i am really looking forward to the next 17 days, even yesterday that seemed like eternity to me but today it seems such a short period of time. i am so glad i am finally looking after myself. thanks to all who supported me thru what is hopefully beign my toughest time.

You didn't give up, you experimented until you found what works for you and kept at it! Most people just give up. Be proud of yourself! And I'll be around cheering you on!
Hugs,
