Breaking the Fast Day 1

Orange Jizznuice. All day.

I am so tired of it already. I was drinking nothing but lemonade for 12 days and never got sick of it.

Interesting.

It was 1) too sweet for my taste buds and 2) really thick tasting. I actually would have preferred my lemonade! Other than that, no upset stomach or cramps or anything of that nature.

I tempted fate today and went out to dinner with two of my friends. We met up at Polker's, another burger joint in SF. I just ordered orange juice. I made them enact food porn for me by describing to me what their juicy looking burgers tasted like.

"Tastes like sh*t."

"Not good."

Thanks guys.

Amazingly, my cravings weren't as bad as they were when I went to Barney's last week. I almost didn't notice the food. Then we went to a dessert spot where they ordered creme brulee and some chocolate thing. I didn't crave those at all. I just ordered green tea. I couldn't bear to order orange juice again.

All in all breaking the fast today was pretty similar to the other days except that I didn't have to squeeze lemons. I feel fine today. No fatigue. No weird bloating. I still have a coated tongue though. And my breath is still not back to normal. Ew.

Eliminations. Let's talk about them. Well, I did my salt water flush this morning. And it worked. I only went twice today. I won't be doing the Salt Water Flush tommorrow or the tea tonight.

I'm going to try and eat some juicy fruits in the morning. Tommorrow is the local farmer's market so I'm going to go and pick up something I can finally chew!! I read today that chewing signals the body and the mind to get the digestive system in gear again. One yogi I consulted a few years back recommended eating watery juicy fruits to break the fast as well.
Most of the other bloggers move on to veggie broth after the OJ but I like the idea of chewing something. Finally.
