My stomach is bothering me today and I'm spending an awful lot of time in the bathroom. I know this is to be expected when doing a juice fast so I'm not concerned just annoyed. I liked not having stomach problems. On the good side, I can tell I'm more hydrated than I've ever been. When I pinch the skin between my thumb and forefinger it doesn't "tent" up like it did just days ago. It goes right back in place. (A doctor told us about that being a sign of dehydration.) So that's encouraging.
I did take another nap for about an hour. I'm just dragging. I don't think it's because of the juice/raw food diet. I think it's whatever has been going on with me for the last year or so. I woke up shivering after my nap. I do have the AC on but it's 96 degrees out. I shouldn't be shivering. This is how I felt last year through this February. I forgot just how bad the fatigue was. I do remember sleeping alot and not being able to do much of anything. I hate being back to that again. I think a contributing factor is allergies. My seasonal allergies are really bad. This hot, dry weather makes it even worse. My eyes are watering and itchy. It's miserable. I heard on videos that I watched that some people were helped with their allergies by doing a juice fast. I hope that holds true for me. Allergy medicine just makes me more tired so I've been trying not to take any but I think I've reached the point today that I'll have to take it. No pain medicine so far today though. I've been able to tolerate the leg pain. I'm sure by tonight I'll need to take some. I can only take so much pain.
My stomach has calmed down a bit. I just feel really full right now. I don't think I could drink another juice for a few hours at least. I don't know how some people drink 4-5 juices a day. I'd float away. I did lose another half a pound when I weighed myself this morning. I'll be interested to see if they weigh me at the doctor's office how much weight I've lost since I was in there on 5/28. It will be a little over 2 weeks time since my last visit. I'm sure it will show I've lost at least 10 pounds. The first 10 pounds is always easy because it's just water weight. After that is when the real weight comes off. I have a ways to go but I'm looking forward to every pound I lose.
That's about it for now. I'm pretty sure I'll be taking another nap later this afternoon. Still have shirts to hang up and dishes to put away and sheets to wash and dry. It can all wait until tomorrow though if I don't get it done today. Later.
