Long time no see!
So, I have been busy programming, gaming, juicing and metal-ing...but now it is well overdue for an update.
Day 2:
Day 2 was awful and it was completely my fault.
I woke up late and didn't have time to make juice before work. I drank an insane amount of water and tea during my shift, but that would only curve the hunger for a few minutes. Having woken up late, I clearly didn't have a lunch juice either so I had to go to the supermarket and pick up 2 Suya brand juices. They are small and, to me, expensive. Needless to say, I was still hungry afterwards. After I was done with work, I went by the produce shop and bought my veggies and fruit. My stomach was eating itself at this point. There is a smoothie shop next door and, although I told myself that smoothie != juice, I went anyway. HOWEVER, to my surprise they were closed!! So I couldn't break any rules if I wanted to...at that moment. I went home and spent the next three hours prepping, juicing and cleaning for the next few days. Check out the picture!
Day 2 Feelings:
Hungry, headaches, dizzy, like a dumb-dumb.
Day 2 Results:
New weight: 154.4 (3.6 lbs less than the first day)
Day 3:
So, this day was rough only because I was tired. One thing they seem to gloss over about juice fasts is the quality of your dreams. I mean, I am not going to say that they will be more pleasant, but they are much more vivid. Nonetheless, when I went to bed the following night I had two nightmares. One of the nightmares kept me up for an hour and a half afterwards. There's nothing like a nightmare that combines loneliness, family and death to keep you up.

Day 4:
Finally a day that I wake up and feel revitalized! Welcome day 4!
The only issue with day 4 was not having hot water. I got to take a cold shower that morning....that was so much fun. I quickly dried off and buried myself in my covers afterwards. My hair felt really soft afterwards, though.
I was complimented for looking slimmer at work and I felt focused and confident! It was a pretty good day overall and having my breakfast, lunch and snack pre-made really helped me stay on focus. I know they say you should drink your juice immediately. In a perfect world, I would wake up looking like Anne Hathaway--not a Carrot Top and Medusa hybrid. Needless to say, I generally make my large batch of juices in my masticating juicer for breakfast, snack and lunch. For dinner and dessert, I try to always make a fresh juice. On the weekends I am also pretty good at drinking freshly juiced juices.
