Reboot Juice Fast - Day 2 (again)

Today has been a little tough.  I made up my juices and got them down okay, but, well, they still taste like juice and by the time I get to the end of the jar, I'm getting pretty sick of drinking juice. ;)

I'm still in, though! I'm pushing hard to get through at least this week.

Here's what I don't get. My fingers are swelling like crazy.  They have been for weeks, to where I can't get my rings off. I don't get it. I'm drinking like crazy. When eating ETL, I'm decreasing my salt intake dramatically.  I'm losing weight.  So, why would my fingers be swelled to the point where I can't get my rings off?  The temps have cooled here so while it's still a bit humid, the air is cool.  I guess I'll need to read about that a bit.

I'm battling nausea and tiredness this evening. I felt a little better after drinking my dinner juice but now I feel gross again.  I'm going to assume I'm dealing with some detox symptoms and head to bed soon.

Today's Juice recipes (if I can remember)

For lunch we mixed up some oat and flax seed pancakes adding in some pulp from our juicing.  That made some great Pulp Pancakes that I filled with peanut butter and bananas for sandwiches for the children's lunches.




Walked up to the school to play tennis with David and the bigs for a bit and then hung with the girlies at the playground.  David and I got in a 1 mile walk this evening after the littles were in bed. It's gorgeous weather tonight. So nice to be out enjoying it even if I feel not so great.
