Day 8
Day 8

As the title says, I'm on Day 8. Nothing too eventful as far as the fast goes. I may have to cut my fast early, not sure yet. Someone in my family is very ill, and on life support. Its unclear whether or not she'll be taken off of it anytime soon, or exactly how long she'll live. Its not very long though, all of her organs are failing, and I'll be flying home to be with my family for the funeral. I was a mess about it a few nights ago, but now I feel much calmer. Mostly I am trying to plan things so that I can be there as much as I can for my family, and that includes me being healthy. More than ever this makes me stick with my decision to continue this juice fast (as long as I'm able, can't bring my juicer with me) and stick to being vegetarian/ transitioning to vegan.
I've almost reached my next mini goal, 10 days. I've lost about 6lbs so far. My scale has been very stubbornly between 131.2 and 131.8 the past few days. I would really like to get to down to at least 120 before my fast is over, but sometimes life just takes over. The weight loss just doesn't seem as important right now as an overall life change.
I'm also still hungry, which is a little troubling. I didn't drink much juice for almost 2 days, I was so stressed and upset. I'm back on how, had at least 50 oz yesterday, plus a ton of water, a few cups of tea, and the MC drink. I juiced some bananas into yesterday and today drinks, it gives it a nice thick creamy consistency that will hopefully make my tummy feel a little fuller. It doesn't bother me too much, just makes me think I'm not getting enough juice. There's also HUNGRY? written all over the sidewalk on the campus, for a fastathon for Ramadan. Now they all include an explanation, but a week ago there were just a bunch of random HUNGRY?s all over the place, and it made me mad. =) Now its all good though. Not too many food cravings, except last nigth where I was really hungry. I fell asleep thinking about a Boca burger on nice thick bread with grilled mushrooms, onions, pickles, tomatoes, mustard, and cheese with homemade spicy fries. Mmmmm. It's gonna be ok though.
