Day 1: Ups & Downs

Today was day 1 of my juice fast. Hit the ground running this morning (metaphorically). The juices for breakfast & lunch were amazing! Wasn't hungry all day. Felt pretty good even with the detoxing going on in my system. Drank my juice this morning, did a thirty minute workout on the elliptical trainer and then came home for my juice for lunch.
BUT when dinner time hit I was starving! I made vegetable pizza for Korry & Haden and I made a juice for myself. It was AWFUL!!! Tasted like really oniony celery, thats all I could taste. I actually felt like throwing up for a while after only drinking a few sips. Korry finally tried it & understood why. We both decided it was not edible. So I made a different juice, it wasn't too bad, but I would have rather had the pizza.

I think I was REALLY over zealous in thinking I could do 30 days of this program. I barely made it through the first day! I consider myself a strong person in a few ways & I'm driven to lose the weight, but this may defeat me. I've done fasts before for 4 days with just water, but I think it doesn't help that I now have to cook & look at food all day.

I'm planning on only doing 7 days now. For the following reasons:

1. The program is super expensive, I spent around $120 just in produce for the week (for just myself- have to buy food for 2 other people on top of that)
2. The juicer was expensive - $143 (it may go back after the 7 days are over.. tehehe)
3. The dinner juices are disgusting!!! -Never juice celery... YUCK! 
4. Detoxing in this way just does not seem worth the stomach cramps & trips to the bathroom.
5. And again I repeat... TOO F-ING EXPENSIVE!  

So as of right now I'm still hungry and I have a headache. But tomorrow is another day, all of this is to be expected. 6 more days to go.

You don't think I'm a quitter do you? I feel like one for not doing the 30 days...
