Lemme splain

I am documenting my second fast so I can look back whenever I'm ready to do my third fast and see how things went. My fast is of the juice variety. From today on I will not be taking in any solid foods. All of my nutrients will be derived from the juice of fresh fruits and vegetables consumed immediately after juicing on my Juiceman II juicer.

During my first fast I quit smoking the day my fast started since the intent of the fast is to cleanse out my system it doesn't make much sense to keep putting garbage in it. I found that much of the frustration I would normally have felt at quitting was balanced by the shift of so much of my focus my food situation.

What I found most difficult on that first fast was trying to balance a full life that involves a full time work schedule in a stressful environment and a full college course load that involved a 2 hour roundtrip commute each day. On many days I would drink 15 oz. of juice before leaving for school. Then I would go directly to work at the restaurant and not be able to juice until well after midnight. I compensated with about 3-4 liters of water per day. Eventually, what I ended up doing was carting my fruits and veggies and my juicer in to work and juiced as needed.

This time around, with school over, it should be better since I won't be an hour's drive from my juice source.
