Day two - feeling good

Here I am on morning two, and feeling surprisingly perky.  Yesterday went very well.

Weight this morning  is 67kg  (147.7lb).

Yesterday I drank 4 quarts of green juice, made from cucumber, celery, spinach, romaine and either carrot, apple or peach (which was delicious).  Made it in the vita-mix and strained it through a nut mylk bag.  Certainly a lot faster than the juicer, and 10x easier to clean up.

When I went to meet my friends at Cafe Gratitude, I drank an 8oz coconut water and a 16 oz green juice, plus a gigantic cup of jasmine tea.  My friends noshed on lovely living food delights and we had a very pleasant afternoon.

I felt very good and energised for most of the day, although I did start to feel a bit light-headed around 5pm.  So I had some juice and a lot of water, and then I was fine.  I didn't feel hungry at all.

I'd also been expecting to have some fairly major coffee withdrawal symptoms, but that didn't happen.  I'm guessing that'll show up today.  Something to look forward to!

I did spend a lot of time running to the bathroom, which I'd expected.

I've had my first quart this morning, to which I added a tablespoon of Vitamineral Green.

While I"m on this journey I want to investigate more meditation and yoga - two things I've always enjoyed a lot, but have never been able to slot into my sloth-like, routine-less days.  I have some cool CDs which are supposed to stimulate your brainwaves while meditating, so I'm going to give that a try.

But I'm giving myself a few days to settle into just one thing at a time - namely getting enough juicies into the old bod.

Amazingly, out of the blue at about 3am, a thought popped into my head, saying, 'come on, you know this is craziness - just eat better food all around;  you don't need to go to such extremes....think what you're missing out on....you're not unhealthy, and you're not that big anyway, you're just round and cuddly - everyone will still love you regardless".....etc etc etc.

Amazing.  And quite mad, especially when my husband is fully supportive, and is buying produce for me on his commute home, so I don't have to lug it up the hill.  There's no reason to not do this now.  I'm well-armed with information (see the wonderful blogs I've linked on this page) and all I can think is that I have some sort of self-destruct 'button', which for once I haven't been able to keep quiet by muffling its voice with vast quantities of food.  Hmmm.  I'll keep tabs on that.
