Juice Fast!

Yes, we are doing it. A juice fast. For 15 days.

That's over two weeks of no food, just raw juice made from our juicer. Yes, I do think we're crazy for doing this, but we got inspired. We had some friends who did it back in the fall and suggested we watch a documentary called Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. The guy in the film does a 60 day juice fast, which is insane but amazing at the same time. This is part of our kicking off healthier eating habits.

We are almost done with day 5 now and I have a lot more confidence that we can see this through. The first few days were awful. We almost caved and ordered a pizza. But we're sticking it out. And learning a few tricks to make the veggie packed juices actually taste good instead of suffering with the awful taste. I'm physically feeling like I have more energy and I'm more alert. It's also strange that I haven't had any coffee in six days. SIX DAYS. I don't think I've ever gone that long without coffee since I was like 12.

We're only 1/3 of the way done, but I am already feeling like my pants are fitting a bit looser. I'm not getting my hopes up that this will drop a ton of weight off of me, but I am confident that my eating habits will change with this fast. And that a 5-day fast is something that I will do every 3 or 6 months.

Let's see how I'm feeling in another couple of days :)
