Not sure I'm going to last much past day one. I am very hungry, which is weird since I have fasted with no water, food, etc. for 24 hours before and didn't feel this hungry. I'm divided between wanting to chew on something (esp. something salty like chips or veggie stir-fry) and feeling like I need to swallow some food.

Last night before bed at 2 am (maybe that's why I'm so hungry! I always get hunger cramps when I haven't had enough sleep), I had a cup of laxative tea and went to sleep. This morning, I woke up at 7:30 and had to get out of the house quickly, so I made a day's worth of the "lemonade" and hit the road. I was supposed to do a salt water flush before anything else, but no time for that.

The drink was too sweet, so I added some water and have been drinking it ever since. Some stomach cramping, lots of cravings (apples, chips, stir-fry, fries), and hun-gry. Also, I have been incredibly moody and irritable today. I have also been thinking that I was feeling pretty good eating my "too many blueberries" and veggies all day self-made diet and maybe I should go back to that. However, I should probably stick with this as long as I can so that I can check it off the ol' bucket list and see whether some effects appear over time.

Though I am still really craving that stir-fry.

Anything positive? Well, the drink is pretty delicious (chili, fresh organic lemon jiuce, maple syrup--what's not to love)? Also, I can easly squelch my compulsions to pick up snacks or extra food when I'm out & about. Nothing to plan for dinner, either.

OK, five days in & each day I have a period where I want desperately to bail. Kind of like a long meditation or extended and intense project at work. I guess it's a good exercise in mind control, though I don't know how healthy it is for my body.

Second to last day. Ten two days of juice fasting. Then a salad.

It's wild - a lot of things (particularly people) smell different to me.

I am really craving seaweed. Wondering whether a piece or two would be breaking the cleanse.
