I'm scared to death!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've disciplined myself to not touch anything except what's on the MC and now its time to have the OJ and I'm beside myself.
I juiced 3 oranges this morning and smelled it for like 5 minutes before I got the nerve up to take a drink. I know it sounds silly but my body has been used to the lemonade and was afraid the OJ was going to kill my stomach. Well the OJ was HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've never tasted anything so sweet and yummy in my life!!!!! Needless to say it savored every drink until the last bit!
I have to go to work tonight so this will be challenging to break the fast and try not to grab the first thing I can shove into my mouth.
I weighed in today at 167 and measured: I've lost 1 in in my arms, 4 inches in my waist, 3 in my thighs and 1 in my chest!!! I'm excited!
LATER on that night: Ok so I thought I made enough orange juice to last all night............NOT! I had enough to last till 9pm. I was drinking so much OJ b/c it just wasn't keeping me full like the lemonade was. I knew I couldn't last the whole 2 days off OJ like the book outlines. For one I was out of oranges and for 2 I had no way of leaving the hospital to get any and 3 even if I could leave who was going to be open at 11 on a Sunday night. SOOOOOOO, I did something I REALLY didn't want to do and that was eat some chicken noodle soup from the patient cabinet. It was a very small can, about half the size of a normal can. I heated it up and sipped the broth. It tasted kinda funny but ok. I did burn my tongue though ouch! I wasn't going to eat the noodles b/c they were made of eggs and I definitely fished out the chicken and threw it away. Once I reached the bottom of the cup I had to try........so I ate the noodles and YUCK they were awful!!!!!!!!!!! Never in my life have I ever NOT liked chicken noodle!! I can really tell my taste buds have changed, for the better!!
After the chicken noodle I felt heavy and weird. It didn't hurt my stomach but I did burp up acid chicken broth for a while, that was yummy, let me tell ya! Since that decided to stay down I went for the mixed green salad I had brought with my raw vegan organic salad dressing and homegrown tomatoes (I had been eyeing since the beginning of my cleanse) at lunch (about 1am) OMG I have never tasted greens like that. Its like this cleanse has re-awakened my taste buds! I've always been a salad eater but not because I love the taste but b/c I didn't MIND the taste and I knew they were good for me. But now I LOVE the way greens taste, AMAZING!!! I enjoyed every bite and chewed very slowly, I even licked my bowl when I was done LOL! I even brought some dehydrated veggie chips (various vegetables dehydrated with sea salt) and laid into those when I was done. I made sure not to over eat and save some chips for a snack at 5.
Everything stayed down just fine and my stomach didn't hurt at all, so it looks like I didn't do things too fast then! After my lunch I felt wonderful, I had energy and didn't feel weighed down, heavy or weird. Its such a wonderful thing to feel that way especially after a meal!!

70 oz of pure water (throughout the day/night)
