Today is day 6 of 'My Big Fat Juice Cleanse'. Jumped on the scale this morning...down 7.4 lbs in 5 days. I have 25 days left to the juice only portion of my plan, before I move onto the RAW. With results like I'm seeing, my motivation is through the roof!!
Spent part of yesterday explaining myself to people. The first reaction to hearing "I'm doing a juice cleanse", is concern. The second is to ask "have you talked to your doctor about this?". Seriously? I'm not to concerned about the damaging effects of too many fruits and vegetables...it's interesting that when you're eating a shit diet, no one asks if you are eating enough fruits and veg, or if you have talked to your doctor. In regard to talking to my doctor about a juice cleanse, are you kidding?...why would I ask for permission to take control of my health from someone who believes the appropriate protocol for cancer treatment is three things only...SLASH, BURN, POISON. I know people mean well, but I hope they know me well enough to trust my decisions, and accept them.
Physically, I think I'm over the worst of the detox. I have a mild headache (man I miss coffee!!), and I'm not moovin like I should...the plumbings backed up. I know, TMI :)
I thought the older and wiser sister should pipe in.
ReplyDeleteBRAVO to both you crazy bitches but I'm not drinking the kool-aid or 'juice' so to speak. That doesn't mean I don't love to have a homemade veg/fruit juice but 3-4 times a day, I enjoy eating too much (and it shows). So, I support you in spirit and I applaud your dedication and commitment. I, on the other hand am heading out for a run. What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger.
Don't worry Rhonda, I won't be forcing juicing on you or veganism we will leave that to the expert...he knows who he is ;)
