Day 1
Yesterday, I started a juice reboot. It was a term coined from a documentary I watched called Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. Great watch and I learned a lot of interesting information. I have had several people who have done a 3 day juice cleanse and they talked about the difficulty of it. I have decided to do a 10 day Reboot. Yesterday wasn't bad. I felt fine for the most part until the end of the day. The funniest part was how I kept reaching for food out of habit and not hunger. In the evening, I started to get a headache and the joints in my fingers and shoulders ached. My hope is that this is the bad part and will go away soon.
Day 2
Today, the headache and joint pain remain. I am still juice only, but I decided to tell people I was doing this. I spoke with a co-worker who did it for 3 days and says that she feels great. My understanding is that the ache is a detox of these areas of my body and they are healing. This is what I am hoping. Today was only juice and I have determined that I miss chewing. I found a great support group on Facebook that doesn't let you beat yourself up when it doesn't go the perfect way. Here is to tomorrow's juicing extravaganza!
