Juice Feast Day 2

[DaisyHair]

Juice Yesterday:

-Lemon juice in water – 1 quart
-half a pineapple, 2 small limes, 4 huge stalks of celery and 1 small head of romaine – 1 quart
-red leaf lettuce.. soaked goji, 3 cherry tomato, half a red and half a yellow bell peppers, half a cucumber, 3 red chard leaves – 1 quart
-Entire cantaloupe and 2 apples (gold) – 1 quart
-Carrot,  celery (only about 12 oz)
-1 grapefruit juiced and glass filled with seltzer (12 oz)

I won’t kid.. as the day went on I started to feel horrid.. I was having body aches and  headache with light sensitivity almost like I was getting a migraine.  I kept going and lying down and making my bedroom dark.

I was surprised that I already was having detox.  I guess it is actually day three back on Raw so maybe it’s time.  Also I am coming directly from a SAD diet...  

I lost another 1.4 pounds overnight, that is 5.4 pounds in three days back on Raw (1.5 days juice feast so far)  Seems high in the weight loss dept.. I guess it is the first few days so I will slow down eventually.

DH was sweet and bought more produce for me on the way home from work.  I am beyond thankful for my husband.  He supports me in whatever I do.  

I am supposed to do an enema today.  I did a coffee enema a couple of times through my last juice feast.. I only did 7 days juice I think last time.  I am shooting for 10 days this time.  One day I would like to do a 40 day juice feast but I want to be on Raw for a while before I do that!.

I felt fair this AM when I got up.. very thirsty which surprises me with all the juice and water I am drinking.
I had my lemon water first thing and am now enjoying a watermelon, lime juice for breakfast.  YUM!  I am trying not to be too afraid of fruit as I know I need the calories to make it a FEAST not a FAST but I try to have most sweet fruit in the first half of the day.  I worry about candida but so far I have not had any more issues with it since the months of going very low carb.  

Been watching Amethyst’s Juice Feasting (100 days!) videos here: http://rawfoodrehab.ning.com/video/video/listForContributor?screenN...  SO jealous that she lives in NYC.  What fun.  And within walking distance of a yoga studio!  Some day I want to do Bikram too.  I have always felt too fat.  I do go to a gentle yoga class though.  

A couple of lovely juices:

cantaloupe, golden apple, lemon above.

and watermelon, celery, lime below (breakfast this AM!)

Cheers!

Well here’s to day 2.  How is everyone else doing?
