Hi All,
It's day six on this Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead inspired all juice detox (rebootwithjoe.com).
Three things of note have happened in the past two days:
1) I gained about a half a pound, and then lost a pound and a half. I'm on a JUICE diet. This is an excellent reminder to me that water weight is a mysterious thing and that even though it's de-motivating all I have to do is stick to the plan and it'll eventually pay off.
2) I'm feeling much better than I have for a long while allergy and health wise. It's amazing how much more willpower I have when I feel healthy - not just in terms of dieting but in terms of work, study, and housework. I just automatically do so much more - picking up dirty clothes on my way from one room to another, decide to study ten more words, decide to keep going another thirty minutes. I have to remember that a healthy diet impacts much more than just my weight, and that when I'm sick or have just had an allergic reaction that I can't be so hard on myself... because at those times, things are actually harder to do. I'm not just being lazy.
3) My sense of smell is becoming AMAZING. This happened last time I did a juice detox. It's both a good and a bad thing. Bad, because the main thing I'm becoming great at smelling is food. Good because I feel like there's an extra dimension to the world around me.
OK. Time to go look at the boards and then get to work!
