10 Day Juicing Fast - Day 3 and counting!

I started a juice fast on Monday to basically give my body a break from toxins and chemicals.  Especially to kick the diet soda and caffiene habit.  I didn't write on Day 1 and 2 because I felt pretty horrible.  How I felt Monday morning before I even started the juice, I woke up with a headache and was extremely tired, pretty much the way I wake up every day.  After I got the kids to school I went shopping for organic produce. If you can by locally grown produce when in season. Organic is more expensive so if you are on a tight budget by conventional it will help. There  are conventional fruits and vegetables that you should try and avoid because of the horrible pesticides that are on them. These are the ones that if you can you should by organic.

Fresh Organics

1.   Apples
2.   Bell Peppers
3.   Blueberries US domestic
4.   Celery
5.   Grapes
6.   Cucumbers
7.   Lettuce
8.   Nectarines (Imported)
9.   Peaches
10. Potatoes
11. Spinach
12. Strawberries
13. Green Beans
14. Kale (Tuscan Cabbage


I am on Day 3 today, and I noticed that I am not as hungry as I was on Day 1 and 2 so far.  I noticed my headaches are better in general and that the heartburn that I experienced on the first day of juicing hasn't been there at all on Day 3.  My tongue still feels coated, my face is still dry and looks like I have a bad outbreak of rosacea.  On Day 1 and Day 2 I noticed facial hives which I always get so nothing new to see there. Also on Day 1 I had a BMI of 22 and I started mild exercise - just walking again.  Keeping it simple until I feel better. Almost felt like working with my punching bag outside today but I am not quite up to that kind of physical activity so I will stick to walking.

I will let you know how day 3 goes tomorrow :)
