Juicing Antics: Day 6

[3:49 pm]
Hm. Last night/this morning have been the first days I've felt any detox/sickness. I had the worst headache last night, and some nausea. I want to attribute it to the seaweed flake fiasco last night..that was certainly on my mind while I was lying around feeling like absolute crap. I really don't know why they made me so sick. Also, the first few days, the only solid foods I was craving were salads & raw things, at this point I'd kill for some cooked brown rice and steamed veggies. Not sure whether that is also a detox symptom, or an indication that my intake isn't high enough.

Anyway, I slept for about 13 hours (kind of catching up from this week, as well) and I felt much better this morning. After running to Manhattan to meet with a friend for a while, I am now INCREDIBLY exhausted. Almost the way I felt when I was water fasting. I'm getting plenty of liquid and calories, so I'm hoping its just some detox that will be short lived. Nap time!

[1:42 am]

I ended up sleeping from around 4:00 until 8:00, and felt MUCH better after waking up and "taking care of business." :) My intake is fairly low for today, but then again I did spend the majority of the day asleep, haha. I think I'll have another juice with greens and apples before heading off to bed. I'm still thinking about rice, though. Hm.


Today's Juiciness:
-- 3 qts water with lemon
-- 20 ounces "Royal Flush" from Liqueteria (pineapple, aloe, ginger, pear, liver cleanse)
-- 1.5 qts collard/apple (1 giant bunch collards, eight apples)
-- 1 qt green chard/apple (1 bunch green chard, 4 gala apples)
-- 12 oz senna tea w/ 2 teaspoons of honey
-- 0.5 qt kale/apple (1 bunch red mustart greens, 2 apples -- pink lady & gala)
