This is my journey...
 
I got about 12 hours of sleep last night! I woke up a few times to my stomach growling, but was able to go back to sleep fairly quickly. When I woke up this morning, I felt like I had a hangover. All I've been drinking is juice, so there is no possibly way I could've been hungover.

My breakfast this morning was pretty good. I juiced a pineapple, a pint of starberries, and a head of broccoli. I was worried at first about the broccoli; when I ran it through the juicer, it had a very strong odor. I did NOT want it to taste as strong as it smelled! Once I juiced the other ingredients and mixed it all together, it was really good! Soon after drinking it, I had a ton of energy and felt great!

For lunch I met one of my best friends, Tasha, at Jamba Juice. I so badly wanted a smoothie that had yogurt and stuff in it, but I was a good girl. I got the "Apples 'n' Greens" smoothie. It was very earthy tasting, and took a bit to get used to. By the end of the cup though, I was loving it. The company was great too! :)

My family and Chris have been so encouraging, which is very helpful to me. This is harder than I imagined it would be, but I am determined to perservere. All I can say is that I hope they keep the love, positive energy, and encouragement coming!

It's about 2:30 pm right now, and I'm not feeling so hot. My head is throbbing, I feel dizzy, and my tongue feels like it sprouted some fur between yesterday and today. Also, my face is breaking out like crazy!
:( I think now is the perfect time to make an appointment and use the facial gift card that "Santa" gave me for Christmas last year.

I think I'm going to try and make an all vegetable juice for dinner, and than warm it up, like I'm drinking soup

Hello Kylie,
I came across your blog and wanted to tell you how encouraging it is. I am currently doing a juice fast as well and am experiencing some of the same things. I am also experiencing my skin breaking out as well and was wondering what you are using/ doing to help with the breakouts? I have tried a few things but my skin still looks bad. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Best of luck with your journey. Best regards.....Andrea

Hi Andrea!

Wow, it's encouraging to me that you're going through some of the same things as well. I'm glad you stumbled across my little blog! :) I've just been letting the breakouts ride their course. I've been washing my face like usual. I haven't been putting on a lot of makeup to cover them though. I've found that wearing makeup seems to irritate the spots and make me breakout more. Today my face and skin are starting to look better. I found a mineral powder with sunscreen that I really like. It's by "physician's formula. How far into your fast are you? I'd love to hear about it!

Kylie,
Thanks for the advice. I have to learn to let the breakouts take there course. I have been on my fast for 10 days and it sure has not been easy but slowly gets more manageable. I am a real sweets fan as well as a carbs fan. For me those were the hardest things to give up but I had to be honest with myself as to what these things were really doing to my body. Again it is so encouraging to others for them to know they are not the only ones experiencing these things. Best wishes....Andrea

Yeah, I'm a carb lover. I could live on breads and cheeses, I miss them!
