Day 5 musings

Not a whole lot to report today...the headache got really bad, but advil took care of it pretty easily.  I ended up only drinking juice twice yesterday cause I just wasn't hungry around the dinner hour and by the time I was hungry, it was too late - I didn't want to be up all night peeing, so I just decided not to juice.  My skin feels a little more oily than normal but at the same time, it seems to be clearing up too - which was what I was hoping for, so that's exciting!  I am feeling lots of energy, like I want to go running outside or something (haven't tried it yet though)!  The hunger pains are gone, but there is still a strange empty feeling in my gut around "meal times".  Like I said yesterday (I think) now it just feels weird not to eat, it's awkward.  There have been several times where I think I'll grab a nibble of something and catch myself...so I've realized eating was way too much of a habit for me; hopefully after this is done, I'll be able to eat to live rather than live to eat!

I lost another half a pound so my total is 9.5 pounds in 5 days....until tomorrow, adios loyal followers!

    1. You really should Sasha! I'm telling you, I feel amazing! I will be honest, the first 3-4 days are absolutely AWFUL, but once you get past that, it gets easier each day.
