Day five of my self imposed 5 day Hydro Healing juice fast and I'm still going strong. Waking up to hot water and lemon seems so easy I think I may continue it, and quite a few people have said how glowing I look. Then again, I haven't stayed out past 9pm all week, and my conversational skills seem to revolve around my diet, so what I make up in 'glow' I may well be losing in friends.
I had my first slip up of the week today- a delicious Solero Smoothie. Hey, it was really hot outside and I'd just been to a meeting, so I needed some sustenance. Yes, the drinks may be palatble, but lugging four bottles everywhere you go isn't the most easy thing to do. You can leave two in the office, but then there's the danger that you'll drink them all and get to six pm ravenous.
I'm very glad it's my final day though, but worryingly it's a Friday night and I'm meeting people post work for drinks. This could be an issue- my first 'late' night of the week and I have one juice left to go. I soldier on at the lovely Wetherspooons, but it starts to get a bit pear shaped at eleven when I'm starting to really feel tired.
Thankfully the barman was ever so helpful and poured me some green tea- much to the mockery of my mates, so I chugged down three cups before I had to leave.
So there you have it- five days of fasting, and only one 'naughty' item! I'm very proud of myself, as I wouldn't have thought I'd have had the willpower to go the distance.
Check back tomorrow for my verdict- and my weigh in results!
