Day Nine

Woke up feeling good today.  This was Crystal's first official day on a juice fast.  She's been drinking a lot of juice with me, but still eating food, and drinking alcohol.  Today she gave it all up, and went just juice with me.  We started things off with a nice apple, orange, pear blend.  It got us going pretty quick.

I'm not sure exactly what she put in the second juice.  I had my son today, so I was spending time with him, while Crystal made the juice.  It had some beets in it though, that's for sure.

Crystal made me a big batch of Mean Green for work while I took a nap after dropping Kerwin off, and I brought that to work with me.

I have found my food cravings steadily decreasing.  I have more energy, but it drops fast if I don't juice at the right time.  I had origianlly planned to do 10 days on the juice fast, but I think I might extend it to 15 days now.  I would have never even considered the possibility of extending it a few days ago, but I'm in a much more positive mental, and emotional state now that the food cravings have decreased, and my body has adjusted to the just juice diet.  I figure the longer I do the juice diet the easier, it will be for me to adopt a vegan, or vegetarian diet once I'm back on food.
