Day 2 Juice Fasting

  I am on my second day of this juice fast. I just had a breakfast juice with banana, strawberries, spring mix with spinach, celery and and apple. I have to admit without the fruits I think i'd be screwed. It really smelt funky when I had just the spring mix with spinach done. I am using a magic bullet because I don't own a juicer currently and the magic bullet was a black Friday deal :)

Over all I'd say so far so good. I haven't had a single craving that I couldn't talk myself out of. But it's hard. I won't lie. One of the hardest things I've done in quite some time. I keep reminding myself that my brain is "sick" and that it needs to get healthy. My brain is basically telling me to eat all the muffins (healthy ones I baked for the kids) and to go to Wendy's and McDonald's  But thankfully the good part of my brain is really pulling through.

 I don't want to be this fat. I've never been this fat while not pregnant. This is gross. I don't want my kids to live like this and I don't want to live like this either. I can't change the past. But I am definitely going to make my future better. I want to feel good, I want to look good. I want to be confident. I want to try on a dress or a pair of jeans and think "damn I look good" as opposed to "holy shit you're a cow". 

While sitting at the stop light this morning I had a proud moment. I am doing something I never ever thought possible. I am finally doing something about being over weight. I am am challenging myself. 

So side effects... None really. I feel an energy boost after drinking the juice I make. Strange. My brain was thinking that only happens with caffeine and sugar. Not true. It's a wonderful feeling. I use the bathroom often. #1, no #2's yet... I suspect that's soon to follow. I am tired. But I have a 3 month old, and I take care of several children all day. I've read about body aches, those so far I don't have. What else... Nothing really. I am hungry from time to time but it's so far pretty bearable. I'm a bit sick with a cough, which is not related.
