1st day of the juice fast!

The big day is finally here! I have prepared for nearly a week, and I am here in the midst of it now. I woke this morning (in a very bad mood which has nothing to do with the fast) excited to use the juicer for the first time and change many pounds of produce into delicious nutritious juice. I gathered carrots, apples, spinach, green beans, mung bean sprouts, lemon and ginger. Breakfast juice was carrot, apple, spinach, mung bean, with a wedge of lemon. You see I am a huge fan of fruits but I think I enjoy veggies even more so eating or drinking greens isn't that uncommon for me. This is a very tasty comb (short for combo) of produce. Then I made lunch juice which is apple, carrot, GREEN BEANS, ginger, lemon. I really love greens in my juice. I love wheat grass which is what the green beans when juiced remind me of. So far it seems I made plenty for are breakfast/lunch and to rotate in between water. I have a small bladder...in fact it's pee size. Drinking all this liquid is enhancing my already extreme bathroom runs. We added the psyllium/bentonite to our lunch juice hopefully it will wait till we are home to work it's magic. I see though that it is a really important ingredient in this fast because I am so full from lunch. In fact I honestly haven't been hungry all day. My only issue as of now (besides incredibly frequent urination) is how tired I feel. No coffee no fat burner equals me coming down. Other than the yawning and the near falling asleep at my desk, or staring into space with heavy eyelids, this is going great. If I did potentially let myself dwell on all the yummy foods I'm not eating that could be torturous. However I feel proud that I have taken the time and energy to devote to my own sense of well being! To a cleansing of my past intakes, to preparing for my abundant future. This is defiantly a ritual of spiritual discovery. I'm looking forward to being cleansed and awakened. This is very exciting to me......I may or may not blog more today depending on how my day after work shapes up. Defiantly tomorrow there will be more. Peace and Love!
