Juice Journey - Day 1

Day one of our juice fast was yesterday. I thought about writing last night, but the lack-o-caffeine headache hit me really hard. Harder than it has on any of our past fasts. I'll start at the beginning of the day... I was able to work all morning long mixing another band's album. We had a raspberry and orange smoothie, and a cup of herbal tea for breakfast. I was feeling drowsy all morning and as I was doing the dishes around noon I started getting really light headed. Throughout yesterday afternoon I had a mild headache; Aimee's was much worse. We had a late lunch smoothie of strawberry, banana, and soy milk. The headaches were starting to really get to us both so we took a short nap and went for a walk around six. Being outside helped a bit. We returned home around eight and made a mango and orange smoothie. By ten o'clock my headache as full blown. I gave in to it and took two ibuprofen. The headache made everything difficult, even sleep. Just standing and walking to the bathroom was a challenge. I needed to get to the bathroom because the headache made me so sick that I threw up my mango smoothie... well, at least it wasn't a mango chunky, that would have been much worse. I jumped (more like crawled) into the shower to let the hot water distract me and went back to bed. I was so worn out from the day that the headache didn't keep me up. I was asleep by eleven and slept soundly through the night. 

It's now the morning of day two. My headache is still there, but it's much better than yesterday. It's time for our breakfast smoothie...
