Well, I’m practically through my first day of juice fasting. I haven’t died yet and I haven’t killed anyone yet. I don’t really feel that bad, actually. My weakest point was around 5:00 when I was getting ready to head home from work and feeling like eating dinner. Dinner time is one of my favorite times. It’s when I wind down from the day. Sometimes i pick something up on my way home, but a lot of times I cook something. The cooking is part of my winding down process. I love to make something hearty and delicious, watch some TV and forget about the stresses for a moment.

Today, I withstood the urge to pick up something to eat on the way home at the many restaurants that cover my route home. I made myself some juice and still was able to relax a bit. These next several days are going to continue to be challenging, but I think I stand a good chance at making it.
