Blog: Juice Fasting for the second time
I'm definitely more energised to day, actually so much so that I don't know that to do with all this excess energy tonight!
Today wasn't easy though, work was very hard, the most important and expensive part of our large equipment broke and we weren't able to do much today. However we got the hardest customers straight at the beginning of the day, and I was getting closer to losing it. But I DID have enough will power, and patience won. I just didn't take it too seriously, a lovely skill I learned during my two years Down Under!
I've still had cravings today, but talking about and seeing food hasn't been too hard. I can't wait to finish the fast though. Mum's determined to keep on going as long as it feels good, it might take her all the way to two weeks, and I wish her all the best, it'll definitely be a lot of help for her colon problems!
I knew having a big glass of that lovely fryuit juice might make me bounce off the walls especially this late in the evening, but I drank some anyway, and now I'm definitely wide awake and giddy and just overly all over the place. I take that as a good sign.
I've got heaps of reserves to make fresh juices here at dad's, and it's only two more days, ohh I can't wait to have a bite of that lovely fresh organic lettuce!! And tomato, and cucumber, and... It's still hard!
Nothing else is new so far, I've been thinking about doing the liver flush to end my fast, I think this is exactly the right time to go about it. I've got the epsom salts ('glauber salt' here in Finland) with me. Not looking forward to it, but it's a planned thing.
Enough about it for today. Wish I could be as detailed and humoristic as in my last blog, but I simply must have less to say, maybe I have less gunk to expel, at least I feel like I've become less overly emotional and philosophical and opinionated and rambling in the last couple of months, but have actually learned to channel my brain power in a more mature way. I wonder on things less, and am able to reach a conclusion with not too much hassle, and don't need to explain me or my thoughts as much. This is obviously a big part because I've been consciously working on becoming "less feminine" in that manner, just go and do things without much analysing and drama about emotions and stuff, I've been trying to imitate my male ex-housemate a bit (the one who took out the steaks in front of me last fast). It has definitely brought out big problems between me and my now-ex boyfriend him turning into the "skirt" and me the "pants" of the relationship. It's good to be alone and sort this out, see what I'll turn out like.

it's your second time. on your first time did you do a 30 days juice fasting? if so, did you lose weight on your face?
good luck

Hey how you going,
As last time it was my very first time I believed more experienced people and didn't go for the month-long fast straightaway, it would've been too hard. Now on the second fast I can say had I had a proper pre-fast week (getting more liquids and less solids into me, and mentally preparing) I'd be better off than on the first time!
I think I lost a bit of weight off my face both times, but it needs to be clear that a juice fast is never ever for weight loss, it's only water weight one loses, and therefore it's all gained back, guaranteed. I got back a bit more of my round cheeks afterwards, but then again getting rid of a bit of plumpness is most of all a matter of a permanent diet and exercise change. I think working out at least three times a week at the gym has made the most difference to my face, and other places where I like it to show :)

Thanks for the link, I'll have to take a look!
I suppose it's up to the individual of course, but generally fasting has absolutely nothing to do with weight loss except for resetting your digestive system and allowing your body to heal itself, thus making is easier for you to keep eating and exercising better than before. I use fasting only as a method to clear my system, get rid of some symptoms, and start off a clear table with proper eating habits again; I am realistic and thus weight loss has nothing to do with this for me.
