I’m so close to the end I can taste it. And it doesn’t take like Green Juice. It tastes like pure joy. I’m not gonna lie. Day 2 of this 3 Day Juice Cleanse was rough. Talk about peaks and valleys. I was a mid-day mess. I may have even gotten a little snappy or, hangry as the kids say. Late afternoon yesterday was the low point. Hungry and just plain pooped. But then things shifted inexplicably and I started to feel much, much better as the day went on. Energized even.
Me. 3:17pm yesterday.
I am moving on along though, the end CLEARLY in sight. Which brings me to my next point, clarity. I don’t know if it’s the caloric reduction, the lack of caffeine or what, but I seem to have crazy focus. I also feel a little bit like a fog has lifted. Maybe not fog. Maybe film. I had felt like everything lately- mind included- had been dulled. Like covered in a film. I felt sharper last night and super focused. It was odd. Of course maybe it was just the Herculean willpower I displayed last night, cooking My Other Half dinner. WHICH I DIDN’T EAT. What kind of complete and utter shit is that? I must realllllly love him. I feel like I can hang this over his head a bit. I feel a “Remember that time I was doing a cleanse and was starving and STILL made you dinner like it was 1954 and I was in the kitchen in kitten heels and a cute apron COOKING FOR MY MAN?!?!?!” in my immediate future. I survived though. And he enjoyed supper.
Seriously.
Last day, Poodles. I’m curious to see if the increased energy/clarity or whatever I’m experiencing hangs through today now that the hump of Day 2 is over. I’m also curious to look around the interwebs and see if people report feeling this way. And of course if there is any scientific proof of it- because I’m a science dork at my very core. Whether it is real or simply perceived doesn’t matter. I feel it. So I’m goin’ with it! 🙂
Have you ever done a fast? Have you ever done a cleanse? Who makes dinner at your house?
It's A Marathon AND A Sprint 
I make dinner, but mostly because I like my cooking better. Hahaha!
That’s the BEST reason why! Ha!
I missed lunch once. Does that count?
Sorta.
I don’t cook. Ben will *sometimes* grill but he doesn’t cook either. Colby, our diets suck. Like, bad.
Oh, Gurl. I had no idea! Well, for shitty diets you’re both flippin’ fast! Here’s the thing. I love to cook. I’ve also been told I’m pretty good at it. I mean, I had two Italian grandmothers and my mom cook’s like a BOSS so it’s kinda in my blood. BUT, when we both stopped eating all meat (we do eat fish), I had to really get my shit together and teach this old dog some new tricks. So I guess what I’m getting at is it is totally possible to learn. It’s just far more convenient to not! At least for SOMEONE I know who lives with me and shall remain unnamed!
LOL! Yes, the convenience factor is big. Someone else who lives here also likes the convenience of eating out so that doesn’t help. I always wonder how much a change of diet would help with my running but that’s honestly the ONLY area of my life where I lack commitment/discipline. Anything else you tell me to do, I’ll get it together. But eating healthier, nope. With this BQ business, I’ve even contemplated a nutritionist or food delivery service LOL
I have no idea. All I know is that if I was zippy like you, I’d be double fisting Fritos and chugging Coke.
