Day 4

I'm really getting into the swing of this. I find it very easy to get out of bed to make the juices. Usually I would snooze for around 20 minutes before even thinking of getting up, but now it just takes a minute after the alarm going off and I'm out of bed. Maybe it's because I like the hot water with lemon so much to get started. The juice this morning was lovely, the ripeness of the avocados play such an important part.

We have made it to the half way point, and now I think for sure we'll finish it. On day 2 I was getting pretty negative about it, thinking that another 5 days would be completely demoralizing. And I was also thinking that I wouldn't be able to get out of my old eating habits, so was definitely getting into a very negative frame of mind, thinking that there was no point in doing the plan, as it would only be a matter of time before I put all the weight back on. Now though, I feel totally optimistic about it. I have no problem in thinking that a juice is what I'll have for breakfast forever more, and now I'm sure that a salad is enough for dinner. I can't believe how much I used to eat before. Not being able to snack has highlighted just how much I used to do so. If I was hungry/bored in the afternoon I'd just pop out and get a pack of crisps, or maybe a small roll. Totally unnecessary. Bring on the rest of the week!

Admittedly, I was like the cranky antiChrist this morning for a while, but I think it was because this is the earliest start of the week for us. After the juice I was back to my normal self.

The evening was easy too. We went to the cinema and brought the last juice with us in a flask. We did get a few weird looks, but it was very refreshing to not have to get popcorn and a bag of minstrels (oh how I miss you, beloved minstrels) to watch a film. Also our energy levels are quite high. We both had very early starts, and busy days, and usually I wouldn't have wanted to go to a late film with work in the morning, but really didn't feel tired at all.
