Over the hump! (Juice Fast Day 3)

This Morning's weight: 109.4
Energy: Up and Down... better today than yesterday
Hunger: Ranges from none to slight. Totally manageable.
Intake: 48 oz seems to be the magic number for me.  I don't think I could fit in any more than that.

So today is the end of day three. According to most testimonies we are done with the hardest days. For me, they have not been overly difficult. I have some symptoms that are uncomfortable but I have not felt like giving up.  I have insomnia pretty bad, and the last two nights I have been bothered by muscle aches and my lower back has ached so bad as to keep me awake. I read this in some information about detox stages...

"...old injuries may become irritated and painful. This is a result of the body's increased ability to heal during fasting. If you had broken your arm 10 years before, there is scar tissue around the break. At the time of the break, the body's ability to heal was directly related to lifestyle. If you lived on a junk-food diet, the body's natural healing ability was compromised.

During fasting, the body's healing process is at optimum efficiency. As the body scours for dead or damaged tissue, the lymphocytes enter the older, damaged tissue secreting substances to dissolve the damaged cells. These substances irritate the nerves in the surrounding region and cause a reoccurrence of aches from previously injured areas that may have disappeared years earlier. The pain is good as the body is completing the healing process. The muscles may become tight and sore due to toxin irritation. The legs can be the worst affected, as toxins accumulate in the legs." 

^^^^ ALL OF THE ABOVE FITS ME TO A "T"!^^^^
