Day 52 - Wednesday -- Day off with son and he gets sick -- yup -- all over my car. Thought I was finished with this, but now it moves from daughter to son. So stress is high, but I do ok. Not perfect, but ok. I should really get a tattoo on my wrist that says -- FOOD WON"T MAKE IT BETTER! Need to find ways to squeeze in some Zumba or other stress busters on days like this...
Day 53 -- Thursday -- So now that son is feeling better, hubby is sick (think the juice is keeping whatever this nasty bug is at bay for me -- GO JUICE!). Again stress, definitely caved and tried 2 of the egg muffins (mini-quiches) I made for son's breakfast. Funny though -- the combo of egg and cheese not sitting so well... Big question now is what do I do next week.... The anxiety about eating again is starting to mount. I know my stomach has shrunk and that I won't need large quantities, but old habits die hard... Hoping that mine are cremated and buried at this point. And for good measure, buried at sea.
Go slowly! You can go the soup route (broth only the first 2 days) and then broth with *well cooked* veggies on Day 3. You can also start slowly adding in smoothies. Stay away from the dairy and meat for a week or two until your body feels like it is handling the actual fruits and veggies okay. Congratulations on being in your final week! That's a great achievement!
ReplyDeleteI also found I didn't get sick whilst juicing, despite everyone around me being ill. Proof that it is good for us. :-)
