10-day juice fast: Day 4

Was too busy Thursday to blog, so summarizing the day now (Friday morning).

Weight: 148.4 pounds. Still going in the right direction :)

Energy is finally about normal. Didn't have time to work out, so will need to be sure to do that tonight.

We went to our weekly Thursday evening gathering of Drinking Liberally. The establishment at which we meet has no pure juice (it all has sugar added), so I had 3 glasses of unsweetened iced tea. Mistake! Normally I could down an espresso at 10pm and go to bed and have no problem sleeping. But now that I've been off coffee all week and thereby horribly deficient on caffeine ;) ...when I went to bed I was just laying there, mind happily bouncing around. I slept off and on through the night, but not my normal sound sleep. Oh, and I have noticed that since I'm downing so much juice and water, I end up getting up once or twice during the night to pee. So when I'm done with the fast, I'll add sleeping through the night without the bladder wanting to burst - to the list of other things to which I'll look forward: a cup of coffee, a glass of wine or beer, lower cost of food.

Overall, it's going quite well. I'd heard before that the hardest days are the first 2 or 3 days, and that has definitley been my experience as well.

Cheers.
