I'm total dropout!!!
Several times today I was heading to the bathroom ready to see that juice come right back up on me. Sorry for the graphic description, but I simply cannot keep that stuff in me. I gave up on the coconut juice today and couldn't even finish half of the juices I had to drink. I was mostly water all day because that is the only thing palatable to me at this point.
I worked on changing out the recipes a bit, but it still wasn't working.
I'm sad because I really wanted to do this for David. I wanted to be cheerful and excited and have fun taking this on together. I prayed this morning, asking the Lord to enable me to endure. I'm not enduring, though. Sigh.
I talked with David tonight. He is loving the fast and it is accomplishing for him what he hopes. He would like me to go back to my regular diet plan the Lord gave to me during my Daniel fast. He feels that coming along side of him, helping him prep the juices and cheering him on is the help he desires to do this well.
I am so relieved. All that complaining I did about getting tired of chewing salad, I take it back!! I will CHEW my salad every meal just so I don't have to DRINK it anymore!!!
Thank you, Lord, for an amazing husband. Help me be a blessing to him!!
I got in 25 minutes on Wii Fit today. Did a little bit of weeding this evening. Worked all morning in the kitchen cleaning it and a bunch of produce.
I can't wait until morning to EAT food. I guess a 2 day juice fast is all I got in me. Interesting what happens when I venture off the path the Lord put me on.
Be reassured Tracy you are not alone with your reaction, try looking up juicing detox symptoms on YouTube!
ReplyDeleteI'll keep looking, but I haven't found anything that tells me an aversion to the taste of the juices is part of the detox symptoms. I feel great, otherwise. Well, except for how crabby/fearful I get when it's time to drink another juice. Ick. I was in the bathroom heaving last night just from reading the recipes for today's juices. I simply cannot get that stuff in my body anymore.
ReplyDeleteI think I went through the bulk of my detox symptoms during my Daniel fast. That was rough and keeps me from going back to old habits. ;)
