Day 23

I've decided I'm definitely going to do the Yoga Detox after this juice fast is over. So that means an intense month of yoga and another 10-day detox. I went to the Q&A last night, and from what I hear - my "detox" will really be a transition from juicing back to the way I hope to be eating for the rest of my life. I'm most excited about the cooking lessons.

Following other people's juice journeys is a great support and a great resource - but one cautionary note is not to get into the trap of comparing yourself to them. The guy in the blog I religiously watch is losing about a pound a day and he raves about how he doesn't even crave any of the old foods he used to eat before the fast. Great. Not me. My weight loss slowed way down in the past week - although it's still dropping at what would normally be considered a healthy rate. But I think about my old habits and dream of eating those foods. So I don't know if there's a magic day on which all those cravings will suddenly disappear - but I'm almost to the end of a whole month and I can guarantee I will eat a smoked tofu taco again in my lifetime.

I had a very happy, very high-energy, very productive day. And a delicious pineapple, kale, pepper juice for dinner.
