today's been another mixed up day. it started off well, then i got a headache, then a bit of an upset stomach, then i felt great for an hour and now i'm tired, washed out and craving food. i haven't been hungry for a few days but i was so tempted by the smell coming from the two indian restaurants i walk past on the way home from work (more on that in another post) but knowing that even if i decided today to break my feast i still couldn't have a curry made it easier to keep walking.
on the way home it was bright and the last rays of the sun made me smile, but i still did consider, very seriously, calling it a day. i'm fed up of the headaches, i'm fed up of not feeling great most of the time - though i feel truly amazing at times, it's always for short periods. and i want food. i'm still fixated on kale & avocado salad, currently it's the black olives that are the most tempting.
the thought of having to admit defeat will keep me going for a while but i tell you, i really want less crappy, detox days, and fast, or i'm checking out of the juicefeast motel.
today i had:
1l msm-lemon water
1.75l celery-spinach-chinese leaf-broccoli-apple juice with pinch salt
0.75l carrot-orange-strawberry-raspberry-pear juice
various herbal teas with honey
1 tbsp hemp oil

I have been where you are right now several times and have shared it on my blog. I can't pretend to know where you are coming from but I can offer you my experience if it will illuminate anything for you to make your journey easier.
My last episode with almost quitting was on Day 56. The resolution is on Week 8 review. There is another episode that occured before, probably around week 5 or 6. I can't remember.
Good luck with whatever decision you come to. I wish you well and if you need anything, feel free to contact me.

thanks, michelle. i will read your posts and cross my fingers for a few days. YummyHubby and i had a long chat last night and that helped me re-focus a little. i'll post about our findings later today.
Lou Lou,
I am just a lurker around these parts...I juice feasted for 30 days last year and am eager to get back into it...it will happen in time I am sure.
I just wanted to comment on how you were feeling etc...one thing I've noticed is that you don't seem to be taking in a lot of juice.
I wonder if some of your headaches are due to this...for a couple of reasons. First, you may be having the headaches because of low blood sugar. Second remember that when your intake is low, you actually move into juice FASTING which increases the rate at which one detoxes...creating a lot more intense detox symptoms.
I don't know if either of these things fits for you, just wanted to throw it out there.
I wish you all the best and look forward to reading more about your juicy adventure.
With Love,
Melissa
hi melissa, thanks for your comment.
yes, you're right. i know i should be drinking more juice but can't seem to a) make that much in one go and b) drink more than 2 litres a day. but... maybe your comment is enough to make me push a bit further - so THANK YOU!
