I decided to do a juice fast with two of my girl friends after a couple of weeks of over eating, too much drinking, and not enough sleeping, I felt it was time to try to cleanse the system so to speak. Eating had started to get really out of control and I started feeling major compulsions to binge. I wasn�t exercising as much with my bad ankles and physical therapy was making them ache constantly, so I started feeling like it was ok to wallow in self pity and eat to compensate. I decided a 4 day juice fast was a way to break out of the cycle and start tasting and feeling the different textures of the food I eat again. I also wanted a break from drinking.

I was planning on trying to work out yesterday, but I got really tired and didn�t have any energy. Maybe today? I�ve got a volleyball playoff on Wednesday so I�ll definitely have to work out a bit then.

Day one down and day two is on its way. Hopefully today will go as smoothly.

152 yesterday. We�ll see what Friday morning brings.
