Today is four weeks. I could complete the fast today and not feel cheated in the least but it's not today. I'll talk more about breaking the fast when I post tomorrow.
Thursday is weigh-day. I've lost 1/2 lb this week. Isn't that crazy? I'm certainly not too thin to continue loosing weight. Have you noticed the pattern? Week 1 I lost 4 lbs; week 2 I lost 1.5 lbs; week 3 I lost 7 lbs; and week 4 I lost 1.5 lbs. I'm still at least 5 lbs more than my goal weight. And who knows, I might lose more weight next week since it's the every-other-week on which I seem to lose.
I have felt great the last three days- for the last 20 days. My energy is good, no sinus issues, my head is clear, and my clothes are comfortable. I've been sleeping soundly for 7-8 hours ever night with no night sweats. The only sleep issues I've had occurred two times when I drank juice too closely to bed time. I slept hard for about 4 hours, got up to use the bathroom, and then couldn't get back to sleep because I'd had such a hard sleep already. Not so good. I was a little sleepy during the day and hit the bed hard the next night.
I look forward to not spending an hour prepping juices every night. I may have said it before but sharing a kitchen means that it's inconvenient for me to monopolize the kitchen. My roommate has been absolutely supportive and accomodating. I so appreciate her moral and practical support.
Even so, I'm ready to be done. And I'm ready to continue juicing as part of my daily diet. I love some of the juices so much I've been trying to work it out in my head how I can have them all everyday. That's not very realistic but I can alternate them from one day to the next.
