Day Four started with a bang. I'll try to explain without giving too much information. I had read or heard varying opinions or information on the impact juicing might have on my digestive system. Nothing had occurred, so I decided on the evening of Day Three to take some gentle overnight medicine to make sure things worked properly.
Not gentle, not overnight...... I spent the majority of Day Four at home, not at work, curled up in bed with stomach pain or in the restroom. We'll leave it at that.
I realized mid-day that I was probably getting dehydrated so I drank lots of extra water. And because Day Four happened to be New Years Eve, my son and grandson were over in the evening and we ordered pizza. I ate pizza.... justifying this with the fact that my body probably needed something solid to help offset all the other things going on.
So my 5 day juice fast became 3.5 days. Not that I am giving up, but I am changing my approach.
