Day 4 of Juicing. Wow

Sorry about last night.  I was not feeling so well.  As I mentioned in my last post, I had forgotten to include LOTS of water in my fasting, and I ended up constipated. Yeah, TMI, but I thought you should know.
More TMI. I am no longer constipated.  I feel great this morning.  One more thing I should point out is that I have gotten a full nights sleep EVERY night since I started this juicing fast.  I feel refreshed this morning.
On another note, my juice still tastes like complete crap.  I hate the taste and I hate the smell.  It's not so bad once I am done with it, and I don't have to think about it again for several more hours.

This morning I am drinking a combo of kale, carrots, strawberries, apple, collard greens, green beans and something else.  I have excluded the onion today because yesterday I had an embarrassing moment in the elevator.  I got in and I had my drink with me, which REEKED of onion.  I work on the 12th floor and the lady in the elevator with me, had to get off on the 10th.  By the time we reached the 10th floor, I thought she was going to lose her noodles.  She started gagging and coughing and I know she was happy to leave that elevator.

It was embarrassing because she probably will never get into the same elevator as me, thinking I always smell like a field of onions and greens.  Oh well, her loss, not mine haha!

It's day four and one thing I can say is that I TERRIBLY miss bacon!!! Yes, bacon. Bacon is what defines a man and his ability to be manly.  Well, not really, but for you bacon lovers, you know what I mean.  I have also been craving nachos from Taco Cabana.  I know some of you don't like taco cabana, but I do.  Not all of them.  I do like the one near my house though.  Their nachos rock!!!

So what am I going to do after these ten days are up? I think I know.  I don't have a plan set in stone per say.  I do know however, that my eating habits are changing for the long run.  How long will it last? I don't even know that either.  This is just an attempt to change my lifestyle and become healthier.

I know I'm not going to become a health nut and trade in my bacon for collard greens.  I'm still going to eat bacon, just not every other day.  I'm still going to have a burger, just not 3 times a week, and I'm still going to sit on the couch and watch a movie, but I will take a run on my treadmill a little more often.

Right now I am down to my fourth belt loop. My gut hasn't seen that in a while.  Well, let's see what happens the rest of the day.  If anything major happens, I'll update you again today, and if not, then we'll see each other tomorrow!! Have a great day!
