On to day two! I got up at 5am (after a terrible night of sleep) and got on my elliptical for 20 minutes. This is by no means my record time, I just had zero energy... but I got my heart rate up there and maintained it. I thought I was going to die when I stepped off. I showered and then set off to Eastern Market in Detroit with a good friend. I shopped for two hours and bought tons of fruits and veggies for far cheaper than any grocery store in my area.


I had forgotten that I made a commitment to my mother-in-law to attend a luncheon for the Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary. This is where my forgetfulness and poor planning come into play. She had invited me and paid $50 for my ticket about a month ago. I started fully juicing on Friday. I felt obligated to eat some of the food that was so kindly ordered and paid for. I did well though, only eating about a third of the small broasted chicken breast, one steamed redskin potato and about a third of a cup of mixed steamed veggies and some salad. I was so full from that! But then I started feeling guilty because I felt like a failure. But I jumped back on juicing and I'm feeling good!

I am finding it necessary to drink a lot of water between juices to maintain a full feeling; otherwise I'm ravenous with hunger!
