Subject: Day 1 of fast complete

Well, here I am on the second day. Yesterday was a "transition day" really, I had some watermelon and a small fruit salad. I went to the grocery store and bought whatever organic fruit looked good -- stuff I didn't even know the name of! "Oh, okay this is a white nectarine? Whatever ... I'll have two." I went home and threw all of it into the juicer: two fuji apples, two white nectarines, three plums, and a bunch of raspberries. I was famished. I think I put in too many raspberries because it had a slightly puckering tart taste. I was rather disappointed, tossed it, and made my old tried and true "Ambrosia": 2 pineapples, a bag of red grapes, two lemons and two oranges. I had about three glasses of that, with the rest going in the fridge for this morning and this evening. I made some the night before I put in the freezer in a portable plastic container. That way I can take it to work and sip on it all day as it melts.

I didn't have any "cleansing reactions" one typically associates with the beginnings of a fast -- no headache or dizziness. I think it's because I just fasted about 5 months ago. I felt a little "spacey" though, kind of high, and a lot of energy.

I couldn't go to sleep before midnight last night and didn't have any real problem waking up at 7 this morning (and I thought I NEEDED 8 hours! hmmm. Guess not!)

This morning I feel good. Kind of hungry. I had two glasses of the "Ambrosia" for breakfast and now I'm sitting here at work, waiting rather impatiently for more to melt.

I don't feel like making any more juice today so I will just finish off what I made yesterday, and then tomorrow go to the juice bar downstairs from my work and have carrot-apple (3 carrots to one apple). Well, maybe I better make more because I'm going to the Yankees-A's game tomorrow, and all that trash may be tempting!!!!!! I better come prepared.

This concludes day 1 of the chronicle of my fast :)
