As I opened my eyes from deep restful sleep, my energy came rushing in with emotions of excitement for day 2 - I must be crazy, but this fast fits me like a glove.
Last night we were craving food, so we wrote down everything we would eat if put in front of us:
Jenny - Teryaki Chicken with rice, Burger, Fries, Thai Food (esp. Phad Thai), Chips, Hummus, Ice Cream, BBQ & Chocolate Covered Almonds.
Nelly - Chick-Fil-A, Joe Peeps, Fried Chicken, KFC Chicken, Del Taco, Chicken Parm from Chi Chi's, Indian, Chinese, Seafood - "you could put anything in front of me right now and I'd eat it, even a slop bucket!" Nel says. His stomach was growling!
I think we did pretty well for the first day. I had lost 5 pounds previous to this fast by counting my calories for the 10 days prior. Yay me. And I had amazing energy yesterday afternoon and evening! I wanted a project, something physical - I have not felt that energetic in years.
Nelson weighed himself today and he is 5 pounds down. He's truly amazed by this. We think it's his metabolism and body getting rid of junk! I think I'm down at least 1 pound.
Today I have an immense amount of energy and my mind is crystal clear. I'm thinking, why didn't I do this sooner!?
Yesterday's diet: 4 glasses of mean green for Nel and 3 for me. We both had a small glass of pure orange juice and a cup of tea.
Day 2: Nelly - 235, Jenny - 283
Note: This fast is not just about weight loss. This is a spiritual cleanse, a physical cleanse - an overall reboot.
