On day 8 I weighed in at 134.4 which is down .2 pounds from the day before and on day 9, today, I weight 134.2 so 1.6 pounds overall. It's interesting to see my weight go down so slowly even though I see results in the mirror and in my clothes pretty significantly. Anyways, I'm not doing this for weight reasons as that is a bonus side effect for me but nevertheless, interesting to see the pattern.
Yesterday was pretty hard in the evening for some reason. I wasn't too hungry or tired or anything but my mind was thinking about why I am doing this. Perhaps its my subconscious mind reminding me of the slow weight loss even though that is not the most important thing for me. It was purely a mental thing; maybe from wanting to eat the salads I have been eating before or from the smells I endure from cooking food for my family. I told myself I wasn't going to have honey yesterday but at that moment I didn't feel like making juice and was a little hungry so I had the honey with and felt better immediately. So I won't give up my honey yet as it is what keeps me going on the fast. I don't think I would last long drinking only non sweet juices and nothing else. Perhaps I will be ready later in my fast but I am not counting on it.
I slept for 9 hours on the previous days and I would say I got worse sleep on both nights then before. Yesterday morning, I woke up earlier for an event and people were drunk outside out apartment and loud at about 3 in the morning so I was pretty tired later in the day. Yesterday night for some reason my mind wouldn't stop racing even when I was asleep. I don't know why but I got poor sleep.
Today will be a great day because tomorrow is day 10 and I can't believe how fast this is going. I think I will make it 40 days or more but we will see. I can definitely do these 10 days 3 more times. Its not as hard as I thought.
