Day 7

Lots more juice, and it's all been very yummy. I have enjoyed every glass. We pretty much put in anything till it fills up the collection jug. Being very frank though, it has not encouraged me to go to the toilet. Don't get me wrong, i don't feel constipated, i just feel like i have nothing to give! Definitely flush next week to help this detox. The head aches and migraine have completely gone at the moment, hopefully that's the last of them. My muscles have felt oddly weak and i have had very slight dizziness, but have had energy.
I go back to full fast tomorrow. I aim to keep with it and not juice at the weekends with my husband until the 30 days are up and then i will be juicing full time. Well that's my plan. I have enjoyed the juicing alot this weekend, but i want to give the water fast it's time to clear my body, before giving my body goodness.

Day 6

It felt like every muscle in my body ached yesterday, and i could have done with sleeping for a bit. But the head ache was a whole lot better.  I broke my fast last night with a juice dinner. I had planned to juice this weekend, but i was slightly worried. Despite feeling a little horrid, i could feel and see good things happening. I didn't want to upset that. But after letting my body rest for five days, i think juice is the best thing to put in.
I would also like to go to the toilet to help clear out whats know as plaque from my gastrointestinal tract. I am going for deep detox. That's my aim. As i said once the caffeine head aches pass completely i do aim to do a salt water flush (involves drinking warm salt water first thing in the morning. It should clear out within an hour.)
So far this morning I had a delicious juice. We put in cucumber, apples, celery, carrot and lime. It was very refreshing. I still ache a little and can sometimes feel a head ache if i move too vigorously, but on the whole i feel pretty good today.

Day 5

Oh my gosh i am craving flavour. Flavour is all i can think about. Even when we are being strict with ourselves and only eating three meals a day and not snacking we are putting a lot of flavour in our mouth. The fact that my mouth still feels like carpet doesn't help.
Yesterday was definitely the worst day so far, all day i felt like rubbish. And my want for flavour was so bad i even licked a chip. How silly is that, but my taste buds are so bored.
Today seems better so far, it's just a head ache right now, not a banging migraine, also odd it has moved to the other side of my head. But i have hope it's clearing.
For anyone interested, i have shred at least 9lb so far, in five days.

Day 4

My migraine passed yesterday, leaving me with just an occasional cope-able head ache.I had all manner of other detox symptoms though, feeling cold, the shakes, tearful, the mouth of carpet. But i have also noticed other good things, such as when i brush my teeth, my gums are no longer bleeding. They have been bleeding since i had my last child, but not now and last night i noticed they have gone a super healthy red colour. Once the migraine passed i felt amazing, with lots or energy.
This morning though, i have the head ache back full force, my mouth feels revolting and lemon water is not helping. I feel almost flu like, and completely incapable of doing anything. I am hoping like yesterday it will pass.
I will not give up though. I know what is happening. My body is going back to normal, and starting to expel the toxins. I had it like this when i gave up caffeine before, i have no idea why i went back to consuming it in any way, i was so much better with it clean from my system.

Day 3

I haven't escaped the migraine. I really don't want to take any pain killers for it. Will just have to see how bad it gets. Feeling quite rubbish now. Mouth is still very dry, and along with my tongue feels like it has been carpeted. Would like to go to bed for the day. Have added the lemon juice to my water, i need it more palatable today, and i want to shift this feeling in my mouth as quick as i can.
Once the migraine has passed I think I will try a salt water flush to get my bowels moving. Really depends if i can drink so much salt water though.

Day 2

So far so good. No detox symptoms yet.
I woke with the driest tongue and mouth, which is amuzing as i drank more water yesterday than i have in ages. Just made myself the tiniest coffee, but couldn't stomach more than half. It just didn't taste right. Hopefully it was enough caffeine to keep the migraine at bay.
Felt a gentle irregular hunger yesterday, but nothing worse than if you eat breakfast late. I don't feel hungry at all right now. The hardest thing yesterday was dinner time. We are a family of six and i made everybody else shepherds pie. Now the problem was not that i needed or wanted food. The problem was that i knew it tasted good. I thought i was missing out on a yummy meal. But, i got myself here, I done the crime...

Detox

So. I guess I began to use coccydynia as a bit of an excuse. By that i say i got lazy.
Things have to change, in a big huge way though. I feel ill. I feel tired. I don't feel like me. I ache. I pain. I know this is due to the extra weight i am carrying and the burden is puts upon my whole body.

So i begin a plan. Another plan. Jumping into large amounts of exercise, though i love it, is not good while at such an uncomfortable shape and health. So before i begin shaping I am going to heal. I am going to detox all this rubbish inside me.

I am going to first cleanse my body completely, then begin rebuilding my body to strength.

Day 1 will be a fast. This i hope to continue for 30 days, with possibly juice at the weekends.

After that I aim for another 30 days juice only fasting.

The first 30 days will involve kundalini yoga. The next 30 days will add a bike ride.

After this time i will move into a clean diet and body building, allowing only irregular treats.

Day 1 begins today.

It is now 12.40 and hunger set in about an hour ago and is now coming intermittently. I had a usual size coffee this morning due to a migraine. I will have a smaller cup tomorrow. As a migraine sufferer, mostly aggravated by caffeine, I know (from past experience) cold turkey is too painful. One coffee will be enough today. Soon I think i will have to keep myself busy to keep food from my mind. I am not saying no food is hard, but most eating is done while idle.
