Day Three

Started the moring off with a big fruit juice. It was sweet, but I really like pineapple so I didn't mind the taste at all. Crystal wasn't as fond of it, so I ended up drinking about 30oz.

Morning Juice for Two 

2 apples
2 peaches
1 grapefruit
3 oranges
2/3 of a pineapple

After morning juice I was fully prepared for a throbbing headache, and multiple bathroom breaks, but amazingly (or at least if felt like it) this didn't happen.  I ended up getting a slight headache that went away after about an hour, and didn't have any bathroom emrgencies at all. (not to say that I didn't make a couple of pit stops)  I began to think that my body was adjusting to all this juice.

For the mid day juice I made another batch of the V8 recipe from DAY 2, but put half of it in the fridge for the afternoon juice.  This recipe has been my favourite so far, and has made me consider adding onion and garlic to more of the green juices.  I drank about 24oz for mid day.

By the time I finished my mid day juice the negative symptoms that I had been experiencing so far during the fast had disappeared.  I watched some TV, spent some time on the computer, and then drove Crystal to work.  I was still feeling fine, and beginning to feel more optimistic about staying that way.

After I got home from my chauffeur duties (about 5:00pm) I grabbed the rest of the V8 (about 16oz), rinsed the container and headed up to the computer room.  I sipped the juice until it was gone, and still felt no physical discomfort.  At this point I was hoping the worst was over.

During the afternoon I started to finally feel the lack of solid food.  My mind kept trying to convince me to get something solid in my tummy, and I had the worst cravings so far.  It still wasn't anything major though.  Once again it was like a game my mind was playing with me.  Just throwing thoughts of food at me to see if anything stuck.

For my last juice of the day I decided that I would make a very green juice. I just stated going through the fidge and grabbing all the partial stuff that was there. I knew I wanted garlic, and onion, and a lot of spinach. (sicne I love spinach)  I unfortunately added way too much onion, and the juice tasted terrible. I ended up drinking about half of it. That's all I could stomach. I felt sick, but it was entirely due to my poor ingredient choices. After that experience I will stick to recipes that I find instead of trying to wing it.
