So here I am and it's day 3 of the juice feast. I have to say day one was tough. I made some poor juices and found it really hard to drink enough juice. Four litres a day is not an easy task. The first juice on day one was no sweat but then I thought I 'd make a fruity one and included a whole galia melon, raspberries, banana, apple and it was not the best by a long stretch. My next green juice wasn't much of an improvement either. I was beginning to think I'd made a big mistake. However, I turned things around by making a good smoothie in the evening. I'm pretty sure I broke some Juice Feasting principles but I can live with that!

Both yesterday and today have been fine. I even made everyone else in the family a sweet potato shepherds pie for dinner last night and watched my wife whilst she cracked open a bottle of wine and scoffed cheese and biscuits.

I jumped on the scales this morning and was quite surprised not to see any weight loss. I'm kind of pleased though as it will show to some of those who thought I was a nutcase to do 100 days that I'm not about to go missing behind a lamp-post!

I did sleep superbly well though. It's not as if I have a problem sleeping normally but sometimes you wake up and feel really refreshed. I had that exact feeling this morning.

The supplies of fruit and veg are certainly disappearing fast. I had been visitng the farm shop every 2-3 days last week whilst I was limbering up! This week I'm having to pick up some things pretty much every day (maybe that's just cos I'm a useless planner!)

I've completed some interval training this morning too and no tiredness or lethargy. It went just fine. I'm pretty much alternating resistence training with interval cardio training each day at them moment so after 100 days I should be in superb condition.

Bye for now,

Gavin
