Day 18 - Juice Feast

March 20, 2010
First Day of Spring!!!

Weight: 139.8

Today's Juice's:

Breakfast: Juice of 1 lemon in distilled water

2 oz. wheatgrass

Lunch: Distilled Water with 1 lemon

Dinner: Distilled Water with 1 lemon

2 oz. wheatgrass

Echinacea Tea

Today's Symptom's: about 2 hours before I wake up I feel like a vice grip is on my head and chest, it always goes away once I get up though. Needed to blow my nose this morning. I haven't really had any mucous before. Head ache. Lightheaded. Cramps. Strong BO and bad breath, coated tongue.

I don't feel like eating/drinking any juice really. So, I think my body wants to transition into water fasting. Since it's Saturday and tomorrow is Stake Conference and I don't have to serve in my calling, and my Honey is home and can take care of the children and me, I think I can do it since I know I will be weaker during this time and will need to be taken care of.

I've read that a day of water fasting is like 2 days of juice fasting. Something like that. I'm all for quicker healing and if I FEEL like it, I should listen to my body, right?

I just wanted to say, Thank you. Thank you for your prayers. For putting me on the Temple Rolls, and for your friendship, love and support. ESPECIALLY to my wonderful Husband who has been behind me 100%. Serving me, giving me Priesthood blessings, and picking up the slack. Also, my sweet, dear children, who are patiently waiting for their Mommy to get "all better" so she can run and play with them. And to my wonderful friends, who are teaching my Aerobics class for me. Thank you so much! I can't WAIT to start teaching again. Thank you for your e-mails. Thank you for the phone calls. Thank you for hanging out with me. I love you all SO much!

Had an excruciating head ache. Pains in my stomach/liver/gallbladder and chest. I was miserable! Felt like I was going to blackout every time I stood up. I had a hard time falling asleep. Think I will NOT water fast tomorrow. Too much detoxification discomfort. I think I prefer the slower method of juice fasting instead.
