Day 4

Weight: 175.4. 0.2 loss. Not much, but that is probably healthier and maybe that means yesterday's loss is real, since I didn't gain? 5 lbs total loss in 3 days.

I woke up feeling pretty good. No detox symptoms to speak of and my eyes seemed less puffy than usual. Though I have not done much today. Just emails and football. Looks like both my real team and my fantasy team are sucking today.

Last night I felt bad that I hadn't done anything spa like today, so i foam rolled and then lay in shavasana pose with my head in the neck cradle and a cold eye mask on. My husband played the guitar for me as I lay there. It was super relaxing.

Despite my relaxation, I still had a hard time falling asleep. It's like i am too energetic. Once I fell asleep though, I slept super well.

Breakfast - Grapefruit Juice for two and coffee
3 Grapefruits

I've now been awake for 3 hours and that is all i had. My husband has reminded me to have more. It's weird because I haven't event thought about food. Highly unusual as I am normally food obsessed. Off to make some lunch juice.

Lunch - V28 from the reboot
3 Beets, 2 Carrots, 2 ribs Celery, 4 Tomatoes, 1/2 bunch parsley, 1 serrano pepper, 12 radishes
Reboot reports these stats for the juice Calories: 340, Protein: 17 g, Fiber: 2 g. I had half of this and my husband had the other half. It was sweet hot, but decent. I may go back to my usual juice soon as yesterday's mojito juice was a little weird too. My husband thought the lime was bitter.

Well, my fantasy team recovered, but my real team did not. And my husband has a migraine. I am a little perplexed about this. He says he's been fighting it all week, but he has been eating healthier than normal while i do this and i've been sharing my juice with him. I would think he'd be feeling as good as i do. One thought is that he isn't eating enough since I am not cooking for him as i usually do. He has lost 2 pounds in these 3 days. I heated up some bean curry from trader joe's for him while he rested with some Excedrin. The food seemed to do him some good. I tried really hard not to covet it while i was preparing it. I did have an insane hunger for it, while i was standing right over the bowl, but then i gave it to him and turned to the blog and was fine. I may eat solid food a little earlier than usual today. Food and excedrin seem to have improved his condition, but we are clearly going to be very lazy today. Scratch that, he's off to bed with Maxalt.

I honestly am a little nervous about tomorrow, when I leave this little weekend oasis I've been in. I hadn't planned on juicing this much, but I'm into it and just following my bliss here. But tomorrow I will definitely be going back to more solid food. I need to think ahead for that and prepare my lunch tonight. Maybe getting through tomorrow will merit my first reward!

We are planning to go to costco tomorrow and that will be good for my juice coffers. I have used up all the radishes, beets, mint, and cucumbers that i bought yesterday. Plus half the parsley and 2/3s the limes. Going to try to run now.

Exercise - 3 mile jog
Ran fast at times, but then would have to walk because I obviously don't have enough in the tank
to do a serious run right now. Finished with my usual time. The intervals were very effective at making me sweat out the toxins. I am just dripping. Note though the theory of whether sweat actually detoxes you is controversial and it is important to replenish your fluids. Off to shower.

Hmm. Well, I must say between football being a bust today and my husband's migraine, I am starting to feel bored today. This is bad because i start to think the diet is isolating me and I am extroverted. It's 4pm and i've got 6 hours to kill until bedtime and no plans and not even much in the way of chores to do.

My husband decides a solo walk with music is the answer to his headache. I decide to busy myself with preparing for tomorrow and make juice (kale - apple - carrot - celery - romaine - ginger). And three sets of roasted veggies. This is a lazy way to cook, but it's an easy all vegetable meal. My husband texts from walk and offers to bring home more veggies. I am excited thinking he is better, but instead he vomits as soon as he gets home. I wonder if this is flu and not migraine? I tuck him back into bed and feel quite discouraged. Too listless to bother tidying up in the kitchen I decide to drink some of the juice I made for tomorrow in the hopes that it perks me up.

And it worked, plus husband started to feel better. We watched walking dead and all is right in the world again.

Dinner - Autumn Veggie Bake and Salad
Same dinner as yesterday plus arugula, avocado, tomato and green onion. Salad was divine as was veggie bake, however i think i am seriously overcooking my roasted veg.

Accomplishments - lunches packed for tomorrow.

Forgot spa thing. Am sore from run. Will probably have to rest a bit.
