Juan : "I think this is a bad idea. This is an atrocity. I want to eat. I'm only doing this 10 days."Inge: "No, you're doing it 15 days. You're not leaving me!"

Tip of the Day:

Keep going!Stats of the Day: Inge Stats --- Juice: 2.5 Liters / Water: 2 liters ^^ Weight: 3 kg less than the start Energy: Low and Medium Mood: Ok Hunger: At lunch I was super hungry but after I drank a little bit of juice, all was good. Detox Symptoms: More feverish symptoms, and the brain didn't seem to want to think that much Cheats: I was good Cravings: Not so much. Even though I'm drinking a lot I feel really thirsty, which I find odd, but this made me drink more water.Juan's Stats --- Juice: 4 Liters Water: He doesn't care, he's in a bad mood Weight: 3.5 kg less than start Energy: Good Mood: Bad Hunger: Hungry Detox Symptoms: Sneezy, Mucus, Flu-Like Symptoms Cravings: The Chicken Craving Continues Cheats: He was pretty angelic too. He chewed a bit of rice and then spit it out again. So I'm pretty sure, he's sin free. :-)Story of the Day 6: The detox continues, it seems. For most of the day, I felt a bit feverish and with low energy, and Juan is still sneezy and is unhappy today about our lack of mastication and the detox effects. I told him that he should do a coffee enema. He didn't appreciate that idea. Ha! But I'm thinking that on Friday I will break down and do a coffee enema to help my liver detox better. We'll see. I got special organic coffee just for that. Though I'm honestly a bit scared to try it out. But people who do it say that it is the next best thing to sliced bread, so we shall see.Most of the day I had low energy, until the end of the day. Then I got this surge of energy. I think it was because every Wednesday night we have Bible study and dinner at our house. Our friends came over to help clean and cook. Just being around them gave me energy, and even though they were cooking delicious food. I didn't mind it. I was also caught up in the moment of being with them (15 people came!) and organizing everything that forgot about my cravings, my fever, and the hunger. Thank goodness.Weirdly enough the food didn't really tempt me much. We've been on this for 6 days. This really encourages me to keep it up. I can't go back now. I'm too far in. Also it helps just to focus on your goal, and why you want to achieve it. Don't entertain unhealthy what ifs. Unhealthy "what ifs" make life more difficult when you're trying to achieve a goal.. For example I wish I could eat that.. Oh, that smells good... Oh just one little bite, etc., The key is to just say, "no" immediately and don't torture yourself dreaming about what is off-limits. Then you have much less room for waffling back and forth. This principal can be applied to any area of your life.At the Bible study and I think that we have more people considering adding Green Juice or Green Smoothies into their diet! We're evangelizing the people! We gave them a test taste, and they really liked it. Also one thing too note is that you don't need to do a 15-day fast in order to benefit from juicing. You can just start making one green juice or smoothie every morning with breakfast or for dinner. This will give you great energy and vitamins and keep you healthy. So no excuses. It's easy. If you have a blender or a juicer, then go out and buy some spinach. ;)Today is over. I hope that tomorrow is better.Favorite Juice(s) of the Day: Pumpkin Juice with Greens was nice. Also we made a Pizza Juice.. No, no, we didn't put a pizza in the juicer. We're not that desperate.... yet.....

Pizza Juice:

TomatoesGreen PepperOnionCucumberBasilYum! Now we just need a vegetable that tastes like cheese to add to the mix.Our Improvements So Far: Today more detox, not so much fun, but I guess with no pain there will be no gain.. Boo!Goals for Tomorrow: Keep drinking water, drink more juice, and get more organized with my juicing and life in general.
