Juice Fast Day 4: Bye-Bye 6.3 Pounds! I Won't Miss You

I weigh myself every Monday morning and this morning I was down 6.3 pounds from last week! Hallelujah! Now, I know what you're thinking right now: that's just "water weight," and she will gain it all back as soon as she goes back to her regular diet. But, here's the thing: I'm not going back! Yes, I will go back to having more solid foods in my diet, but I am 98% convinced to go vegan. I feel so fabulous and satisfied drinking mostly juices, how easy would it be to transition slowly into a solid plant-based diet?

It's the end of day 4 and, as I sit sipping my warm vegetable broth, I am feeling physically fabulous.

Here is what I drank/ate today:

7:30 am - hot lemon water

9:00 am - citrus blend

11:00 am - almond juice

1:30 pm - citrus blend

3:00 pm - fresh pineapple (thank you to my coworker, Mae, for bringing healthy snacks to our meeting)

4:00 pm - sweet greens

5:00 pm - 1/8 cup of chipotle peanuts (this can of peanuts is sustaining me!)

7:00 pm - beet juice and some raw vegetables served at a church function

10:00 pm - warm vegetable broth

And now bed! I'm hoping for a good night's sleep. I have been using sleep aid to fall asleep for years I tell you, and I have given them up with this juice fast. Last night, I could not sleep for hours, so I lay in bed praying my worries away instead. Tonight I am hoping for some good quality sleep.
