It is now 6:19 am and I have been awake since 3 am. This is not the way I wanted to start day 1. I woke with a migraine which, unfortunately, has been happening more often as of late because I have eating terribly. The last month or so I have been focusing on eating a more plant based diet. However, we were broke this last week and knew we would be juicing once a paycheck came so we got "rid" of all the leftover junk... by inhaling it. This quickly lead to me popping my old favorite vitamins: Tums and Excedrine. Ugh. This is a picture of my nightstand this morning.There was a pile of 6 Tums there last night. We won't mention the elephant on the table...I have read over and over that the first few days of juicing are awful due to the sudden initial detox. I have also read that decreasing meat and sugar intake the week before a juice fast really helps to mitigate the trouble of those first few days. I had already done that while just making efforts to be healthier... of course until the week before I actually start. I feel like shit. I don't like to use foul language in public forums, but there is no proper way to get around that. I have treated my body like shit, and now I feel the shit. I guess the silver lining in this is if I already feel awful, detoxing may feel normal. Then again, the pizza, doughnut, Reeses, sourdough toast, butter, jelly, and cereal l had yesterday may have the last laugh at that point. That's right, I had zero nutrition yesterday and today I'm promising to drown my body in nutrients and begging forgiveness. Hmm. I must be from 'Murica.
Its 6 am, I'm hungry already for no reason, and today sucks.
