Hi y'all! Hope you're having a great evening! :o)

Lately I've been feeling compelled to drink only juices at least once a week. Mondays always seem like the right day for me to do this. Do any of you guys have a juice fast once a week regularly?

Plus, I had a bit of a sick stomach this morning. Each of my kids had taken turns with a light stomach bug over the weekend, so I figured this was my turn. I decided I'd go ahead and drink only juices today...and I feel so much better! This is the seco… Continue

Just finished day 3 of the fast. When I woke up this morning, I had lost another 2 pounds. That's 4 pounds in 2 days! Man...pretty neat! And I still feel good. :o)

morning: water, apple juice
snack: water
lunch: water, Green Lemonade
snack: pineapple/orange juice
dinner: banana/strawberry juice
snack:banana/strawberry juice

But I have to admit...I went to a friend's house and they offered an espresso, so I accepted! :o)

Hope everyone had a nice day. TTYL!
