DAY 3 of Juice Fasting!

I am on day three now! Yay! It's still going well. Still not many side effects at all. My hunger is barely present. I haven't seem to have lost any weight yet though. Eventually my body will get it. Today is 12/18 and I plan to continue until 12/21 when my fiance has his work party and I have to go with. I am afraid if they paid for all the food and such and I didn't have at least something that it'd be rude of me. Hopefully they have something vegetarian. I am new to that. I just recently decided on vegetarianism.

 I feel like my mind is getting better. I am still thinking about food but I am also remembering that I am still fat and that's more important. It's more important to be healthy than to enjoy tons of bad foods that's "benefits" only last while you're chewing them. If that makes sense? I don't know.

Still no major #2. I don't have a juice machine though. I should invest in one, but with Christmas coming up, I  certainly don't have the extra $ laying around. I know I need to do a better job at drinking water. It's very important to our bodies obviously. I need to remember to work on that! I want sleep more than anything. I am not exhausted or anything, but I feel like if I had the option to sleep all day long, I would. I think that's more related to having a 3 month old than from fasting though. SO that I don't count as a side effect.

Anyway, my baby is fussing! Maybe I will get a nap? :)

Oh p.s I found out today that it's best to juice with mostly veggies because of the natural sugars in fruit. Add a lemon! (the whole lemon is actually amazing including the peel- liquid lemon zest luna bar is what it reminds me of! YUMMMYY). Banana and avocado potentially slow down the process... so unless you've got somewhere to be like work, it's best to not use those 2 (and that is perhaps why no #2 for me thus far). Apples can be added to everything to sweeten. Grapefruit may be best on it's own. I have yet to like grapefruit... I used to enjoy it with tons of sugar. Those are just a few things I have learned so far- from the internet so sources could be wrong. But i'll discontinue my banana juicing for now.

Okay that's all i've got for today.
