Day 4

I woke up around 4:30 and couldn't go back to sleep so stayed awake.  I had some nausea but it went away after a while.

I had an early appointment and brought my fresh oj, veg juice I made last night and water with me.

Felt pretty good throughout the day, a few cravings when I didn't drink enough.

Last night my son said to me "Mom you are going to finish before Christmas, right?" I said "No, I'm doing this through January."

Well, at least that is the plan.   My target is 20 days.

I wanted to do this as some things definitely needed to heal in my body and especially to reset my appetite.   I did have a lot of second thoughts about doing this - but it was only for "missing out" on eating, really, and no other reason.

Our attraction to food is very interesting and changing what we consume or if we consume can be very challenging for a lot of people.

I knew I needed to do something and it just so happens that my friend had already planned to do one herself. So the opportunity really presented itself to join her as an accountability partner, and everything seemed to line up perfectly!
