Day 13-14
Saturday Feb 4, 2012
BP = 138/85
Cost = 17.25 Walmart
Thoughts: Went to a meeting this morning and had to leave when they brought out the bbq pork. It smelled so good. It was weird...I got really hungry and really sick to my stomach at the same time. It was if I really got caught in the middle of warfare: brain says= eat, body says=yuck going to vomit. The best I can relate it to is in the mini teli series Avatar where prince suko restles with the good and evil within him. The point is I became physically distraught and nauseous and had to leave.
Sunday Feb 5, 2012
BP = 143/88
Cost = 23.25 Walmart (Got organic apples and carrots this time)
Thoughts = I'm going to a super bowl party later...dumb I suppose. I'm actually not craving junk food much at all so I should be fine. The thought of Doritos and chips does not interest me. Now if they have wings and/or pizza, I may have to leave.
NOTE: BP has stayed in the 80s here last four days... very grateful. BP a little high today, but took measurement right after church and those that know me know church can be about as stressful as it gets for me so I thought reading was actual really good today considering.
DOUBLE NOTE: I sweat way more now than I used to. I haven't weighed myself, but I've gone down a pant size.

Day 11 - 12
Thur
BP = 143/88
Cost = 15.23
Thoughts: This is all psychological. My body is rejoicing, my mind is telling me to eat
Friday
BP = 133/83
Cost = none
Thoughts: I got pretty emotional when I saw my BP today. I'm only 4 points from the 70s Diastolic...I haven't been in the 70's since college. I have a confession, I've been off my BP medicine since the first day. I truly forgot the first two days and then just went with it. I told myself if my diastolic got above 100 I'd go back on meds, but it never did. So as it stands, I am only barely at a high blood pressure risk currently with no meds. Very exciting.
Almost half way through!!!

BP = 145/95
Cost = 26.34
Thoughts: I really want to eat...I'm not hungry, I just want to eat. I want to feel my tastebuds tingle. I want pizza with meat on top. I didn't drink a lot of juice today, I was tired of it.

Day 9
January 31, 2012
BP = ???
Cost = none
Thoughts: Man what a busy day. I didn't have time to take BP today. Tried juicing spinach leaves and decided not worth it...doesn't work well in my juicer. I got several comments from people today stating that it looks like I've lost weight. This could be, I have purposed to not weigh myself during this fast because losing weight is not my goal and I don't want to be distracted by it.

Day 8
January 30, 2012
BP = 128/100 ???
Cost = 8.37
Thoughts: I was rarely hungry today. Cravings weren't as bad, but I am super busy on M,T,W during the week. Being busy helps. I have a tremendous amount of energy right now...maybe too much. My foot is bouncing up and down. Had a hard time sleeping again last night, sometimes my legs and feet get so soar I can't relax. I wonder if I am still detoxing?

Day 6 - 7
Weekend (Sat-Sun) January 28-29, 2012
BP = 135/94
Cost = 26.34 walmart
Thoughts: I'm going through withdrawls; it is psychological. I am actual not physically hungry at all, but I am having horrible cravings for foods...pizza, chinese food, popcorn. On the health end of things, I am feeling pretty darn good. I have way more energy, and I just feel healthier. My warfare I feel in the next few weeks will be raged in my mind and soul, not my body. Comfort, pleasure, habit, etc surrounding food are all fighting back within me. My flesh is Goliath and my health is the rudy little shepherd boy, but appearances on the battlefield are not the end result.
Note: I have been reading the Juiceman's book and tried a juice recipe involving garlic, I regurgitated immediately...very sick to my stomach. I will never juice garlic again, lol.
Symptoms: My allergies seem to be worse in the area of feeling itchy. I finally got a descent nights sleep last night. I am able to sweat much more easily and do more often now. My natural ability to be patient is minimal, and am having issues tolerating things (edgy).

Day 5
Friday January 27, 2012
BP = 150/95
Cost = None
Thoughts: I had a super rough night last night sleeping. Tossed and turned all night. Today at work I started to sweet on and off for no reason; it actually felt refreshing like my body was breathing for the first time in a while...hard to explain.
I fried my juicer, I am in Atlanta now spending time with a friend who is going to let me use his juicer in order to finish the fast.

Day 4
Thursday January 26, 2012
BP = 143/100
Cost = 17.97 walmart
Thoughts: Rough day today, emotionally draining and taxing. Where is my comfort? My wife had a similar day and she broke her fast to get soup at a restaurant and I went with her. She needed comfort...so did I??? In the end, I actually did very well not eating or really being tempted to eat. I drank my two classes of water at the restaurant and that was it. I am very stressed and going to take a bath.

Day 2
Tuesday January 27, 2012
BP = 147/99 (forgot meds today)
Cost = $16.97 walmart
Thoughts: Really day went great. It's funny how everyone wants to give you free food when you're fasting? I had to regift some m&ms today. My juicer is about to die and has started smoking and such; a good friend is letting me borrow his juicer starting this Friday...come on juicer, you can make it.
I had a nice presence of God moment today (very peaceful).
Juices:

Day 1
My first Day of the 30 day juice fast:
Goals:
Today January 23, 2012
BP =147/96
Cost =17.61 Walmart
Thoughts: Good Day. Enjoyed the juice. I had a hard time in class in the evening when the break came and half the students went to the vending machine to get "snacks". I wanted some of this girl's smartpop so bad. I got REAL hungry during class, made a juice when I got home. Still, I have great excitement that perhaps this will the the time that I finally "reboot" my system towards healthier eating habits.
Note: I put some ginger root in the juice, I liked it because I love ginger; my wife refused to drink it. Juice tonight had pinapple, strawb, grapes (handful) ...and of course a smidgen of ginger root.
Goals:
- Health
- Reboot to better eating habits
- Lower blood Pressure
