OUCH! (Juice Fast Day 2)

Yesterday went quite well as far as ease of fasting.  I got cravings for food whenever I got a good whiff of something cooking. (Like the BBQ chicken I made for the rest of the fam).  I drank 48 oz of juice which seems like a bit less than most people, but then I am a small person so it might be the right amount for me.

As far as detox symptoms, the muscles in my legs are KILLING ME.  To the point where I got on the floor to stretch out my hamstrings several times yesterday and had to break out the heating pad in the middle of the night.  At first I thought it was too soon to have that detox symptom, but then I realized I have been drinking plenty of juice since Thursday, so maybe I gave my system a jump start.  Either way, all I have to say is OUCH!  It hurts.  But it helps to know that it is part of the process of ridding my body of toxic junk.

This morning I hopped on the scale and my weight was 110.6   Technically that is down nearly 3 pounds from yesterday.  I have done many 24 hour fasts and I never drop that much that fast, so I am wondering if the scale was a little wonky this morning.  Time will tell.

I am so happy to have 3 other girls on this journey with me.  Makes it so much easier to be able to talk about what we are experiencing, juicing, etc. 

Todays Weight: 110.6
