Day 3 Juice Fast

Lost another 4 lbs! That's 8 lbs in two full days! I expected a lot of detox symptoms. They say the first 3 days are usually the worst, but I'm not even hungry! I have a lot of energy, but get really tired around 9 pm. Maybe because I really syked myself up that I would be going through all that pain from teeth being pulled and detoxing from juicing at the same time. And since my teeth didn't get pulled, it seems a lot easier?
Today, I had 40 oz lemon water, 20 oz detox tea and 20 oz water with 1 tbs silica. I really wanted some orange juice! I haven't had fruits in so long because of my diabetes that I was a little afraid to do anything but green apples! But, I really wanted orange juice, so I juiced orange juice, celery, apple, spinach and carrots. I was in heaven! And guess what....My blood sugar didn't spike!  It was lower than this mornings!
My energy is normal in the morning, but I get really tired in the evening and can't make it past 9 pm. Which if you think about it is really good for getting enough sleep at night!

I woke up in the middle of the night with a overpowering smell! I opened my eyes and realized it was my husband's breath! I thought I was the one that was suppose to stink during the juice fast, but instead my senses have sharpened so much that I smell things that no one else does. Cool, I now have super powers!
