Day 2

Second day of juice fast. I crave steamed spinach. Broccoli, steamed. Stuff to chew. It is not fun to go out and see all the food out there!

I started out sick, yesterday. I got sick Tuesday night, spent Wednesday mostly in bed. Yesterday I was still sick but a little better. I am much better now, just have a few histamine issues. My hands were very itchy Tuesday night and I scratched the hell out of them, making them super-sensitive to heat. They felt burned. I have taken a generic Allegra to reduce the histamines and it has helped a lot. My eyes, though, are scratchy. I rinsed them in warm salt water this morning and I will do so again soon.

After physical therapy (I am trying to get both knees straight - I had knee surgery in 2011 - yeah, over a year ago) this morning, I went to Jamba Juice and had a 16-oz. Orange Carrot juice. Yummy. Of course I could make that at home but I was out of carrots and very hungry. Sixteen ounces is a lot, but it wasn't a lot of calories - 180.  I then bought some vegetables that I forgot to get yesterday, including two large bags of carrots. Where all this is going to fit in my fridge is still a mystery. I suppose if I actually cleaned the thing out there would be no problem.

Still hungry. I am poring over some recipes now. There is one that calls for a sweet potato that seems promising.
