The Reboot: Day Five

HALF WAY THERE!! I can't believe that I have made it to Day Five! I mean, if you really know me, you know that I have often started something only to stop when it got too difficult, most especially when trying to lose weight. But honest to Pete, this has not been difficult at all. Sure there were a couple of times when I smelled something good and thought "mmm, that would be good right now!" but the reality was that I wasn't hungry. Trust me, if all I get out of this is the knowledge that I can listen to my body and know when it's hungry or not and eat accordingly that will be amazing!

But I feel I'm getting so much more. Last night, Alexander stopped and said, "You know, you looked healthier." He said that there was something about my skin tone now that was different and looked healthier. I took a picture of myself on Day One - a head shot - and so I took another one last night, and you know what? He's right! I'll spare you the photos because they are seriously horrible but in the first one my skin is pale and slightly blotchy and, in the second, I am healthily pink and rosy with an all over even skin tone. And there is the slightest thinning in my face! So exciting!

I'm determined to keep doing this juice fast thing. After the ten days are up, I will juice for two meals per day and eat one meal, regular food. But I will try to not use processed foods and make sure that one meal is high in nutrients. Alex said he'll do that with me too!

Half way there! A full five days! Why, yes, I am proud of myself! Haha!
