I finished.
Day 1 was easy. My body was probably still digesting the Ruffles and ranch dip I'd consumed the day before.
Day 2 was easy-ish. Hungry, but not terribly. Grouchy, but not horribly.
Day 3 was rough. Started okay, but rapidly turned into a headache, stomachache, nausea and...ahem...other issues. Wanted to eat really really really bad, and Zack had to talk me down. Baking pizza for the kids was a dumb idea, so don't ever plan that on day 3 of any of your juice fasts. It's just a stupid idea and the smell will make you sad.
Day 4 was wonderful. I woke up before my alarm went off and I felt refreshed and clear headed. The hunger pains were small and I felt happy all day. Big change from Day 3 when what I am assuming is a juice fast nervous breakdown occurred and I started crying and had to call Zack at work and he had to talk me down.
My advice: stick it out. On the day that you feel horrible and want to eat something, anything - that's the day I think the toxins are leaving your body and you just need to punch through it. If you don't think you can make it, and you're wanting to eat a double double something fierce, or maybe you're just crying for no apparent reason - call Zack, he will tell you to stop crying, pull up your bootstraps and juice yourself some wheatgrass.

Jessica - yes not while you're pregos!!! We have a juicer, I think that's the only way to go. You get all the nutrients. Especially if you make it with lots of greens. Blech. But nutritious.
