Well Day 3 is behind me, thank god. Yesterday was rough. Not 100% sure why, but I just felt like garbage all afternoon.
I walked again, and that felt great, but as I was leaving work I had the last of the juice I had brought with me, and it just started to turn my stomach. Later in the evening, I was getting hungry and had some more juice, and again, it aggravated my stomach.
I really wanted to go to bed, and broke down and ate some crackers which ultimately calmed my stomach down.

Day 2, continued
I totally forgot to add that I began walking again yesterday. 1.33 miles in 25 minutes.
I was walking fairly regularly last spring, but after Giulia was born I haven't done much. Here's to a new routine.
I also finally had an opportunity to watch "Forks over Knives". If the information presented in this documentary doesn't make you think differently about what you are eating....then nothing will change your outlook.

Day 2
Well Day 2 is in the books.
This is defiantly a true test of will power. I hid out in the bedroom again last night while the rest of the family ate. When I was getting ready to make today's juice, on the cutting board was 1 remaining piece of pizza from the girls dinner....so tempting. I smelled it. It was very tempting, but I put it aside, washed the cutting board, and pulled my fruits and veggies out of the fridge. I'm pretty proud of myself.

BTW, my pants fit better today. :)

Day 1, for real this time.
My first day of nothing but juice was a success. I guess the key is finding a juice you like.
I didn't have any issues with cravings while at work, although there is a box of crackers under my desk that were looking really good, but I never had a craving to open them. Once I got home, it was a little more difficult, Gina was cooking dinner for her and the girls, and the whole house smelled good. I took Giulia into the bedroom and we hung out while they all ate.
I had a mild headache through the afternoon, but it was gone this morning. I've decided to allow myself 1 piece of fruit each evening, this is helping to curb my sweet tooth as well as giving me the satisfaction of chewing something.

Days 1, 2 & 3.
WOW! OK, this is harder than I expected.
Going from never drinking fresh green juice, to solely relying on it all in one day....not recommended.
Saturday was pretty rough, and my juice wasn't the best. I also probably physically over did it as well. By 3pm I had developed a headache, and was going downhill fast. I was ready to crawl into bed for the rest of the night. I caved, and ended up eating Salad and Pizza with Brielle and Gina. The headache never went away, and I ended up waking up at 4am with my head hurting worse than ever....I finally resorted to taking some Aleve.
Sunday I was feeling better by mid-morning, but I was still struggling to get the juice down. I again made it through the day, but ended up eating a salad, and some grilled chicken for dinner.
Monday I was ready to give up. I was having a hard time getting the juice down, it was just foul. Erik just happened text me at about my lowest point. After explaining my issues...he offered to bring me a "Good" drink. OMG, what a difference. What he brought me, I could drink all day long. Erik's wife Stephanie had a boat load of information, and after a hour of chatting with them, I felt much better. I did end up eating dinner last night, but then I made a new batch of pineapple-orange juice, and re-cut the green juice from the night before, and finally, it's drinkable!
