I'm in the Homestretch...

...and I still feel great! I slept well. I had vivid dreams again--this time we were visiting my sister and I brought Stanley (one of my bunnies) with us. I was with someone but don't know who--maybe Aaron? We were trying to find a safe spot for Stanley and trying to make shift barriers to make a pen of sorts for her so she wouldn't roam all over my sister's house. That's all I can remember but it seemed very vivid at the time I was experiencing it.
I got on the scale again this morning and was down another 1/2 pound. It sure is nice to see the lower numbers. I was laying in bed and had my hand on my stomach--it felt much flatter. That felt really nice too. If nothing else I've created some great energy around being thinner because I've felt it.
Last night I was having cravings. I wanted an egg. Seems like an odd thing to crave huh? I eat an egg for breakfast everyday so my body is used to getting them--that could be it. I haven't eaten protein (except for the trace amounts in the veggies) since Thursday. I guess it's not that unusual. It probably didn't help that my husband heated up some hot wings for dinner so I was smelling that smell. It's not fair to ask him to not eat just because I'm not so I just dealt with it. I did ask him not to make popcorn though and he agreed that would be extra cruel. The hot wings were easier--even though they smell really good I don't really like them that much so I knew I wasn't missing much.
Today I juiced papaya, apple, pear, grapefruit, and a lime. I'll be going down to Miramar to meet up with SBF Donna for church and then a walk.

MY THOUGHTS ON JUICE FASTING:
I would totally do this again. I feel good. I've given some of the organs in my body an opportunity to clean house and then rest--my liver and gall bladder didn't have to work hard because I wasn't eating any fat and my intestines got a chance to clear out and rest. All this and I've had no ill effects. I've had the energy I needed to do everything. I've slept well. I didn't have any unmanageable headaches, gas, bloating, hunger pains, etc. Eating when I'm tired is something I've noticed that I do frequently, so this has been a good lesson. Food doesn't really give us more energy because it takes so much energy to digest it. That's why people get sleepy after a big meal--their body is using all the energy to digest. Next time I'm tired, I think I'll eat less and see how that works.
