Vegetable Juice Fast - Day 1 - Total Fast Day 2

After yesterday's water fast I feel OK but still have no energy to move around and do stuff.

Day 2:

Morning: Some lemon in water and ACV in water in the morning, along with green and herbal tea. A surprising burst of energy about 2 hours after waking up! Going to the grocery store to stock up on veggies for the fast and hopefully I will have this energy to make it to the store. Here is my work in progress grocery list and will get more stuff at the store probably. I usually get organic everything but will probably but conventional green apples as organic ones are out of season now and impossible to find; if I get the conventional ones I will just peel them before juicing.
  • coconut water
  • kombucha (maybe)
  • lots of celery
  • carrots
  • ginger
  • green apples
  • beets
  • cucumbers
  • spinach
  • kale
  • lemons
  • more greens
  • parsley/cilantro
After my trip to the store and drinking the coconut water, I felt super great. I drank some wheat grass juice after as well. I can't believe it's still morning and I've already done so much!

Afternoon:

I felt fine generally and waves of tiredness came and went. 
Made juices of all kinds including:
  • 11am celery, cucumber, apple, ginger, parsley, turmeric, lemon - this was so delicious!
  • 12am carrots, beets, celery, ginger, turmeric, cilantro, lemon - this was OK, filling and good but not amazing.
  • 2:30pm tomatoes, garlic, peppers, arugula, spinach, celery, parsley, turmeric, lemon, red onion - Now this was paradise!! Like a nice cold gazpacho soup :)
  • 4pm - Some bilberry kombucha.
  • 5:30pm celery, apple, cucumber, ginger, lemon - simple yet delicious.
Evening: Wow, I may need to run to the store in a few days with how much produce we are consuming. Water fasts are definitely way cheaper... I went to the gym after the last juice and surprisingly felt pretty good and went to a dry sauna as well. I had this juice afterward
  • celery, kale, pineapple, ginger, tangerine
Night: Slept well, had way more energy than last night and got around 9 hours of sleep.

Overall: This was a good day and I felt great. Getting exercise also felt very good today so I will keep it up when I feel like it.
