Last night before bed I thought I was going to do a smoothie but I am proud to announce that I made fresh orange juice instead.

So today is day 2 and so far things have been pretty good. However, today I started to feel realy hungery…but luckily no headaches yet (I have read that headaches are pretty common with fasting).

I feel that tomorrow I will be ready to remove coffee from my regime. I know that I should have done this sooner but I am not a morning person and I often need the caffeine kick to get me going. But starting tomorrow I think I will try green tea. Then once I feel comfortable with that I might transition to warm water with lemon instead.

So here is what I consumed today.

H2O 12 ounces
Coffee 8 ounces
Juice 8 ounces (fresh orange juice)
Juice 20 ounces (Juice of Carrot and 2 Zucchinis)
Brazil Nut Milk 16 ounces
Water 32 ounces (with lemon)

There is a lot more that I would like to write about. Being that it is the full moon I would like to reflect upon my thoughts of the moon and fasting. However, I am a bit tired tonight so I think I will save that for next post.

Here is a nice website that I have been reading: http://www.allaboutfasting.com/juice-fasting.html

So if anyone is reading this, I wish you well and good health.

Much Gratitude,
Crystal

    You can give up caffeine if you put your mind to it. I gave it up 1.5 years ago and it was the best thing I ever did - possibly even better than going raw. Going raw is very good too but 6 litres of diet coke was very bad - for me, the planet and those around me. Just put your best foot forward, be ready for the headache and ride it out. You are stronger than a small bean :)

    Thank you Mystic Tree and Aleesha for the support. On day 3 I gave up coffee. Some of my headaches earlier in the day I think were related to this. Luckily, this was much easier than I thought, perhaps this is because I usually just drink 1 cup of coffee during the weekdays and on the weekend I don’t drink any at all. Regardless I am glad to be over the caffeine hump. Yes…Cookie Monster says Caffeine is bad.
