0958: We woke up at 7:30 today. NO HEADACHE. I think I can feel it hovering around in the back of my head but it hasn't set in. I'll take it!
I do feel hungry, but more than that, I feel the compulsion to eat. It's interesting that the second my partner left for work, a part of my brain said, "Okay, time to eat." WTF is that?
When I got up I made a juice with celery, parsley, cucumber, ginger, and carrots. Since we started juicing I've been fascinated with how good celery tastes, and also cucumber. I like the slight zing that the ginger adds too. Everything I read says parsley is important for energy, and it's also in a lot of the liver-support juice recipes, so I've been throwing it in. I love Italian parsley anyway, although it doesn't seem to add any flavor to the juice.
When my partner left for work and I started thinking about eating, I made a juice of canteloupe with lime. OMG. I did not expect it to taste so good! I hope that over the long term I will be drinking more vegetables juices than fruit juices but I'm trying to mix it up during the fast.
So, hungrywise, on a scale of 1-10 (10 is most hungry) I'm at about a 5. Yesterday and Thursday I was around a 9 or 10 much of the time. This is better. Of course, it's not even noon yet :-)
It has been pretty exciting to get caught up on the dishes and not have them reproduce as fast as I can wash them. Fasting bonus!
