(This is a long post, but that's because it's my random bizarre thoughts and progress during the day on my phone's notepad.)
Day 1 of Juice Cleanse
*easing into the cleanse*
9:45am
Pre-cleanse raw fruit breakfast:
Fruit salad with -
1/2 small watermelon
1 orange
1 pear
Half lemon (juice) with water.
1/2 cup warm apple cider with water - didn't finish apple cider. Isn't really raw, so I decided I didn't want it.
Thoughts:
This isn't so bad. I can't wait for my first juice today... Should I have the beet juice, or sweet potato juice first? Hmm... I hope I can make it to 3 days with this!
I'm excited! :)
11am
Thoughts:
Damn, I want bread.
11:15am
Thoughts:
Can I juice a cupcake?
11:55am
Thoughts:
Someone's lunch smells really, really good... I wonder what they're heating up. Bet it's not juice. *sigh*
12:30pm
Juice 1:
2 beets
3 oranges
Thoughts:
I wonder if I can heat this up, and dip bread in it... Like soup... Beet orange soup... I know my fruit breakfast was solid, but still. It's not bread. Does breadfruit taste like bread?! Can I juice that...? Bread juice...
Physical Feeling:
A bit of a headache coming on. Not sure if it's from no coffee, or my body wanting something solid and heavy, or from not enough sleep, or from stress. My eyes feel heavy.
1:35pm
Thoughts:
[That awkward moment when you pee in a public washroom for what feels like a whole minute while other people are around.]
That was a lot of beet and orange juice. Beets are super strong, so I always have to mix in some water otherwise I can't drink it.
I'm seriously getting a headache right now, and just want to go home. It hasn't even been a full day! Shouldn't I be feeling like this tomorrow or something?
I still have one more bottle of juice before going home though. I may be going to the gym after work, so this could be interesting...
I'm kinda hungry. I think I'll go full up my water mug. Again.
1:50pm
Thoughts:
Why am I even doing this? What if I just eat raw for a week...? I know a break from the digestive system is great once in a while, but raw is good too, yes? *sigh*
2:10pm
Thoughts:
I want food. Anyone want to trade me their sandwich for this small jar of sweet potato and apple juice I have in the fridge? It's got cinnamon and nutmeg... You know you want it!
"Present Nikki" is jealous of "Past Nikki" for eating a spoonful of peanut butter out of the jar a few nights ago. *sigh*
I want a peanut butter cookie.
2:40pm
Thoughts:
More water... More washroom trips...
2:50pm
Juice 2:
1 small sweet potato
1 red apple
Cinnamon & nutmeg
Thoughts:
Deliciousness! This juice tastes like a smoothie... A smoothie of awesomeness.
It's like pumpkin pie! Without pumpkin.
I'll be making this one daily, no doubt!
6:00pm
Drank - coconut water
Thoughts:
I have a splitting headache, and my mind is a little groggy. Can't really focus on anything.
Going to the gym, not sure if that's a good idea right now, but we'll see.
6:30pm
Drank Carrot juice.
Thoughts:
At the gym... On a bike... Pounding head, dizzy, no balance...
7:30pm
Thoughts:
Zzz..... 25 minutes on stationary back... Some back extensions...
8:00pm
Thoughts:
Carrot juice... Drank some more..
8:30pm
Thoughts:
Really wishing I hadn't gone to the gym. It's not hunger or an upset stomach, just a horrible headache and neck ache that feels like a migraine. Ugh. I can't wait to get home, I'm sleepy.
Walking around with Richard, every single restaurant I looked at made me want to eat. No wonder the suggestion is out there for people to stay home while doing this... I saw some guy walking with a grilled wrap in his hands, eating it. I wanted to take it from him. Having some serious doubts about continuing, I'm not gonna lie... But I know it's only another couple of days...
10:00pm
Thoughts:
Finally home!
Drank: 1 frozen banana puréed into water, spirulina, and vanilla. Didn't finish it. Had 2 tbsp of dried goji berries. I was planning on having a bowl of chia seed pudding tonight, as today was my "ease in" day, but I'm too tired to eat. (Never thought I'd hear those words...)
10:30pm
Thoughts:
I'm going to bed. I'm not hungry, but this headache is too much. It's late, and I need the sleep.
Goodnight!
