Day One

So today is the first day of this crazy journey I'm taking.
My plan is to go on a juice fast for ten days. I recently saw Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and I was amazed. It made me rethink the way I eat. So I jumped online, read a little about protein caloric need and decided that a Juice fast wouldn't be so bad for me either. I don't think I could last two months, and even if I could will myself to do it, I don't think I could afford it. But I went out yesterday and bought a bunch of Naked Juice to get me started. I bought a Blue Machine, a Red Machine, a Strawberry Banana, 2 Green Machines, and a carrot juice from Bottlehouse Farms. This blog is my way of keeping track of my feelings, my cravings, and my weight loss.
So far I'm doing great. I had a glass (8 oz) of Naked's Blue Machine for breakfast, about 4oz of carrot juice for a snack and Green Machine for lunch. I've also had about 50-60oz of water... yeah... that's a LOT of water! So far so good, I don't feel hungry because of all the water I'm drinking and I've even made the kids breakfast and lunch with only one slip. I was on the phone while I was giving the boys a handful of Animal crackers and out of habit popped one in my mouth. I didn't even realize I ate it until after. Matt just laughed at me. Whoops! I think I need to pay more attention to when and where I eat so that I don't make it a mindless habit anymore!I thought that my biggest challenge would be supper time and right after, and it was! It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be though. I made hamburger and noodles for dinner, and it was hard not to make myself a plate, but I wasn't too hungry, just annoyed that I didn't have something to chew! Then it got worse as I wanted to get up and make a bowl of ice cream or get some cookies... EEEK That was tough! But I made it. It's about bed time and I've done really good! I've had a headache today but I don;t think it's from the fast, I think that it's just me. I always have a headache!
