Lighten Up

I am doing the 3 day juice fast, but I introduced it to my body by eating raw fruits and veggies 2 days before the juicing and I will work my body out of it the same way. My first meal will be soup . If I feel good I will steam up some fruits and veggies with rice. I hope I'm able to drink my yerba and eat some white fish by the 8th day. I started this with a friend so its helped me get through it. She doeant have a phone so we talk about it over MySpace. Its funny, the things we crave. She really funny, she imagined walking steak. ME, its been slurpies ( never drink those things, not since I was a kid), and sesame sticks (never eat those either).

Day 1; I was really irritable that day. But I made it trough the day without even realizing it until it was bedtime. I practiced Ashtanga/flow that day. Got my ass kicked, but I also haven't been practicing much at all the past 6 months-that makes me very sad. Sometimes we just get into a rut.

Oh, and for the first 2 days I had horrible headaches by the evening.

Day 2; felt like shit. It was a tough day. My head makes this congested, ringing sound and it feels airy.

Day 3;I loaded up on more water and went on a bike ride, later I went to bed next to my (annoying) boyfriend. He is really horny, but I dont feel like having sex right now. Sex is out the window for me since the fast. I was delirious all day. But I have a lot of shit to figure out so I sorted a lot out that day too.

Day 4;
Tired of the juice. Still smoking pot.

Good luck, you can do this. Its really about fighting your desires. My boyfriend cooked a delicious meal and basically ate it in front of me (he doesn't really think about his environment). But I fought through it because I'm a warrior!

I think it'll be good from here on out. I can feel it. My head feels good, I feel light, free. I was in a car accident so my neck is detoxing too. It hurts but hopefully it will help me when I'm an old woman.

Peace!

I just finished my 3-day liquid fast and enjoyed it very much. I feel clear. But, I tend to agree with ananda's comment below regarding lack on information on how to begin and end this fast.

One thing that helped: I ate a lite meal the night before I began (soup, detox tea). Also, I wish I had known to ease back into solid food after day 3. I would recommend a very lite meal: soup with solids, then the next day grains and steamed veggies. I ate too big at first (I was so sick of liquids!!), and my tummy rebelled.

Yes, day 1 is the worst, be prepared. I was tired and grumpy on day 1, but on day 2 (I took the day off) I was more comfortable, peaceful and reflective.

Tamanna,
When one fasts, one should make sure to get ample time to relax at home without too many distractions and stress. Fast is a time to think and cleanse not only your physical body, but also your spiritual sphere. I do not think one should go to work when going on a fast for a few days.
