Hey there! Day two is over with and I actually can't believe how I'm feeling! Yesterday, I wanted to give up and honestly thought this was going to be the longest three days of my life. But, turns out, today was amazing and flew by with no issues. The way I feel right now, I could juice for a whole week! Keep reading below for more details!! And check out these gorgeous juices...so yummy and so pretty! I mean, it doesn't get much better than butternut squash and cinnamon in a juice.
Okay so a recap of yesterday...I was not feeling myself at all. I felt a little sick, light headed, out of it, and I was craving every bad food I could think of. Overnight, apparently my body did a 360! I know now those feelings yesterday were just my body detoxing. I woke up feeling great and ready to get my day going. I have not had ANY of these symptoms today and honestly I have so much mental clarity and energy. Now, I still feel too weak to do an intense workout as I'm not getting much protein, but I did squeeze in a quick yoga sesh in my dorm room! I am so content with everything and can honestly say...I don't have any cravings right now. I'm actually super excited for day three.
Like yesterday, I stuck with 5 juices today! You would be shocked at how full you will be. I have not felt hungry ONCE this whole time so far. Yesterday, I wanted food, but not because I was hungry. I just wanted food! Which leads me to something else I have realized today! Our minds get so caught up in food and what we can and can't have or when we are going to eat, etc. Not being able to eat solid foods has truly made me rethink how I view food. It is a tool to fuel our bodies. When we are hungry and with however much we may need. Of course, I'm not saying don't go on some splurge cheat nights, but this has made me realize I probably think about these things way too often when that isn't what matters at all!! Overall, today has been an AMAZING day!! The only negative is honestly how much I have to pee...but hey, it's clear as water!
Also, just a quick side note about this particular juice cleanse through Native Nectar! I love how I get to add one nut milk. I have been drinking mine at the end of my day and it is like dessert...so good!!! It also has a creamier texture which is a nice change. If you didn't see my last post, I'll give you a few other reasons why I love this company and chose to do this cleanse. All of their juices are cold pressed and have 3+ pounds of organic produce. You can't find that in most juices. I love knowing that with these juices, I am not being deprived, but am flooding my body with nutrients. After today, I can already tell I would highly recommend anyone who is wanting a kick start to adding in more whole foods to their diet or just wants to give their digestive system a break, give this a try! I am so so glad I pushed through the first day! Can't wait to share my final thoughts tomorrow :) Happy juicing!
