Made it through the second day! I maaaybe cheated a little. I felt ok throughout the day, a little tired but otherwise I was doing fine. I added some extra lemon juice to some of the green juices because I just could not get through them otherwise (actually, I threw half of one out because I couldn’t handle any more, other thank that, I drank them all).
While at work I was fine, but I knew I had a training run after work and was getting nervous with my low energy levels- this is where my cheating came into play. When I got home from work I blended my 4th green juice with half a banana, 2 mango chunks and a couple of blueberries. It made it taste SO MUCH BETTER. I did this about 45 minutes before my run and while I was tired on my run, I made it through. It was 82 degrees last night and we ran a 6 mile loop of Central Park (8:45 pace). I’m glad I made that smoothie beforehand because otherwise I’m not sure how I would have gotten through the hour. I did feel weaker than I normally do running, but I suspect part of it is mental. I knew I hadn’t eaten anything so I felt weak, but if I didn’t think about it so much, perhaps I would have felt the way I always feel running in the heat.
When I got home I did another little smoothie and finished the night up with Juice #6.
Today is Day 3- the final day of the cleanse but my juices haven’t arrived yet (the first day they delivered 2 days and said they would bring the last day today). If it doesn’t come in the next 30 minutes or so I may consider breaking it…let’s see what happens.
