Today, I felt pretty good. I made my morning juice and felt full and satisfied until dinnertime. I went to the store with my good friend tonight because she wanted to try some juice and I wanted to buy a couple more veggies anyway. I bought a bunch of cucumbers, some apples, and some more kale. I also picked up some gum! I thought it would help with the cravings to chew something. We came back to the house and I made 3 batches of 'mean green' for her, myself, and Anton. She thought it was pretty good. The juice is tasting better and better to me each day and I'm finding myself looking forward to each meal. The cravings weren't as bad today. Of course, I'd like to eat but for the most part, content with juice. Anton really struggled today. I really feel bad for him having to drive back and forth to work on Powell, which has every fast food place imaginable along it multiple times. He said that tomorrow, they are having an office meeting at a burger joint. I told him that he shouldn't go to the meeting and he agreed that he's not going to. Poor guy.
Anton and I got in a serious car accident in December of 2010, and were lucky enough to walk away from it with minor injuries. Anton got seven staples in the head and since then, I have had some huge knots in my upper back. Some days, I don't feel the pain as harshly as others but it's always there. It's the worst when I lay down. I usually have Anton use his elbow to push into it as hard as he can to work the knots out. I make him push so hard sometimes, that my back bruises.
I didn't realize it until I went to bed last night, but I didn't have any back pain at all yesterday and I fell asleep quickly with no back pain while laying down.
Today, the pain was back but not nearly as severe as usual. Is my back healing itself from juicing? I don't know, but it seems like it. We'll see how things go but it was really nice to get some painless sleep last night!
I'm feeling better about my body. I have felt excited about things again and much more social, which is something I haven't felt in a long time. Tomorrow, I think I'll write a post that talks about why I started doing this.
Off to bed now, and it's officially been a week. TTFN!
Day Seven:
I woke up feeling like crap. I stayed in bed all day. This diet has made me feel like I'm in a glass case of emotion sometimes. I'm up one day and down the next.
