Blog: Juice/Water FASTING Daily Progress Log- NEW March 2009
weight- 133.8
I'm pretty much considering this a water/juice fast because I haven't drank enough juice in the last 9 days to call it a juice fast. Today I had 3 drinks of my juice and water the rest of the day. I'm enjoying the weight loss and I feel so much lighter. I have plenty of energy at work but when I get home about 6pm, I'm thinking about only getting in my jammies and grabbing a book. When I'm done with this fast I'm starting a raw food regimen. I've dabbled with it before but decided to give it a real chance. I've been collecting raw recipes so if anyone has any good ones or good sites, will you let me know please?
Still feel really good each day. I'm thankful for the lack of desire for food- it sounds strange, but just the delicious smells of food do me good. There are fasts where on the 4th or 5th day I dream that I broke the fast and ate and I wake up so glad it was only a dream. I had a couple of those a few days ago but that's gone too. At this point I can't imagine breaking the fast- I feel really in control. Remember, it's a mind game; mind over matter, and your thoughts have to be controlled or you won't make it. Good luck to all of us and on to day 10!

| I read your blog a few days ago when I first came along this site, and have enjoyed your daily account the most of the one's I've read. I think we're both on the same page. I am on day 7 now of a water fast (I call it a water fast, but some days I drink a glass of juice when I need the energy boost). I am at the same stage at you where food doesn't tempt me any more, and the mind over matter has become an integrated part of my lifestyle. The length of my fast is somewhat undetermined. I'm thinking 12-15 days or if I have reached a weight where I told myself I would stop sooner than that. I guess which ever one comes first. I look forward to reading more about how your journey goes! Good luck to us!

Hello! Thank you so much for the kind words- out of all these blogs, and there are ALOT, knowing you are enjoying mine best really is a compliment!
So, day 7- that's awesome. Not being tempted constantly by food is such a blessing, isn't it? Strange how all fasts are different. Some I've done have been torturous and some just great. It really depends where you are mentally at the point you start and some times I jump in without preparing my mind, you know what I mean? We can conquer anything, we just have to know and believe we can! It's a joy right now to be excited about weighing in the mornings again; I feel really good and am still not sure how long I'll go. Are you going to start a blog yourself? It's great meeting you and thanks again for posting a message- sometimes it feels like there's no one out there who knows how you feel or what you're going through but that isn't true. It's been an easier fast hearing from others like us. By the way, my name is Lisa. Thanks again :)

Hi Lisa!
I know EXACTLY about the "not feeling" the food right now. I'm so in the zone :P I do not take chlorella or spirulina..especially on a fast. I just give my body a complete rest and then will fill it up with raw goodies. I know a couple of good recipe blogs so when I find the link I'll send it right up to you! Stay in the zone, girl!!

| Sandy girl! So you're in the zone, aye? Me too- big time! I'm really glad it's going well for both of us. My weight loss has slowed but, hey, what's a girl to do?! My thighs have no choice but to "lean up" you know? I haven't looked yet but thanks for the good blog sites. Are you going 100% raw right away? I plan to but I've got to come up with some really good recipes. I want a recipe for some good "spaghetti like" spaghetti squash or anything else that might work good for that and with a good sauce. Need to find where I can buy raw cheese too. Being vegan, you won't eat cheese will you? Your awesome, keep going zone girl! :)
