so, it's time to admit it, to myself as much as to you, dear readers, but a one-off has turned into a mini-habit. i started off having half an avocado one evening as my skin is terribly taut and dry. not flaking, but papery and unhappy. then a couple of days later i did it again. this time i chopped a tomato into it. then a few days later i had a whole avocado with chopped tomato and, go on, why not, a spring onion. all the while knowing i had to stop before it became a habit. then yesterday i came home staaaarving. i ate three olives (wow. since when were olives so salty!) then chopped up a carrot into sticks and dunked them in houmous. oh dear. that's almost real dinner.
i'm torn. i want food. i just don't fancy juice any more. yet here i am, over two-thirds of the way through. i'm so very nearly there and yet my heart's not really in it. what to do... do i get some prunes and call it a day (or two months, in fact) or do i try to get back on the wagon?
doesn't help that my juicer blew up last week. YummyHubby wonderfully went and bought a supercheap juicer while i get the real one repaired (it has a six-year warranty, so i get it repaired/replaced for free. hurray!)
i definitely need to lose more weight - though i'm immensely grateful for the huge weight loss i've enjoyed so far on this juicefeast. but honestly think i could do that better by getting some exercise. since the second week of the juicefeast i've given up on running. it was too hard while i was going through intense detox at the start and since then i frankly haven't had time and energy during the week to prep my juice and exercise.
so, my juicy friends, i'm considering, for the zillionth time during this journey, packing up and heading back out to solid foods land. watch this space...
