Yes, I really mean poop talk. If you're not amused by poop humor, maybe skip this one. You've been warned. Also, potty mouth language, just a heads up.
Last night, as Man and I were preparing for bed we were talking about our days and trying to figure out why we both had such bad headaches. Headache talk always leads to analysing what I've eaten over the course of the past day or two, because usually I can track my aches and pains back to eating an allergen and last night was no different. Man started with my intake yesterday and eventually got back to the three ears of corn on the cob I'd eaten at our 4th of July cookout. Yes, I know better, but come on, it's corn on the cob on the 4th of July and you just can't pass that up! So as we're talking food intake and he mentioned the corn, I burst out with "so that's why I shit my brains out today!" and we both moaned at my over sharing but then laughed uncontrollably, with Man commenting on how inappropriate I am and inquiring as to whether I was going to discuss texture and color. I pretended I was disgusted, so Man launched into a description of his "frothy" poo, saying he had a crappuccino and we again dissolved into fits of laughter.
It's true that we're gross. It's true that we overshare. It's true that we're horribly inappropriate. But it's also true that we really enjoy each other and can have more fun brushing our teeth together than I could have with some past boyfriends actually going out and doing some fun activity together. I really am so lucky to love someone who loves me not only for my good, appropriate side, but also for the silly, dirty, inappropriate, craziness that is me!

Juicing, Part 3, the TMI continues
I continue to write from notes for Day 5 since I wasn't feeling up to blogging about this until Day 6. So again, things will be a little odd. Just don't judge me on my grammar and we'll be fine! For the record, though, a whole new TMI is just around the corner. You've been warned!
Day 5: Thursday, Weight 212
Can this be right? Have I really lost 4 pounds in 5 days? Wow! I'm not feeling bad physically (though still super tired) but I'm crazy moody. It's only 12:30 and I've already cried twice today and come close a few more times. I really hope this passes soon! (later in the day) I don't feel super hungry but I want to eat something really badly. Everywhere I look there is temptation and I'm having a really hard time saying no. Really weird, but I'm craving Cheez-Its. I think knowing that Man is eating is making it even harder, but I'm really trying to hold out. I'm just not all here today. Shouldn't this part be past by now? Also, I've been cold all day and achy all over. Is this really the juice fast or am I getting sick?
Man is in Indianapolis to meet an old friend so no update here.
Day 6: Friday
I didn't update my notes last night because it was too late. Man went to Indianapolis to meet up with an old friend who was in town from Florida. I had fully expected them to go out to dinner due to the fact that the friend had worked all day and would need to eat and was anticipating that Man would have had limited options and probably wouldn't eat the greatest and I was pleasantly surprised when he told me he had grilled chicken and a side salad. Unfortunately, later he admitted that it was a grilled chicken sandwich (meaning sauce, bread and processed food, none of which are allowed on this fast/cleanse/diet/whatever you want to call it) and he had a beer with dinner. I know, one beer isn't the end of the world, but alcohol is most definitely not allowed right now! With as emotional as I was yesterday, I knew if I said anything I was going to completely go off, so I bit my tongue, but now I just can't stop thinking about how this whole thing was his idea and I'm sticking with it while he's completely bailed. It's making it that much harder to sit here and stare at my juice cup knowing that odds are he's going to eat something yummy today. Oh, and I started...well, you know...today. That could account for some of the moodiness but it was really extreme yesterday so I don't think that's all of it. Also, I am now a Play Doh Fun Factory, as well. Awesome. I've been super grumpy all day all day and just feel like complete crap. By the time I got home I felt so awful I crashed on the couch and barely moved the rest of the night.

Juicing, Part 2. Even more TMI this time. Don't say I didn't warn you!
Okay...yada yada, blah, blah, umm...alright, I think I'm caught up on what I've written so far! I continue to write from my notes. Remember, the first couple days were pretty foggy. More TMI this time than last, just so you've had your heads up!
Day 3: Tuesday
(My notes were awful, so I'm pretty much winging it on this part!) We both got up earlier than Day 2, but I still slept later than usual. I think it was just before 9:00 when I got up and I'm usually up around 7:30 on my days off. We stayed home all day and didn't do much. We did make several batches of juice, to get us through Days 3 and 4, since I went back to work on Day 4 and I did a little cleaning but that's about it. I feel like we went somewhere but my brain's still a little fuzzy so I'm not entirely sure. I remember that I was super tired all day and really didn't want to do anything.
Man has been feeling like crap today. He woke up a little earlier than yesterday and was feeling just awful. He says he felt better once he got up and made some juice, but he just has no energy. Here's where the real TMI comes in, so you may want to just skip to the next paragraph...Man has finally had the weird poo. It's not at all what we expected, though. We really thought with all the extra fruits and veggies that we'd be having diarrhea. This is also what we were led to believe with the research we did. Strangely, Man said it was more thick and globby like Play Doh. Of course I couldn't leave it there and have been calling him my little Play Doh Fun Factory ever since. He's not amused.
Day 4: Wednesday
I returned to work today and I'm pretty much feeling okay but I'm completely exhausted. Of course it was a truck day so there was lots to do and while it helped to keep my mind off things, it also depleted my energy that much faster. I'm working with my new girl, who happens to love chips. I'm starting to hate her. I finally used the restroom but it wasn't much and no Play Doh for me. I'm still fuzzy but the dizziness seems to have subsided and although I'm starving, I don't have that intense urge to chew that I did the first few days.
Man nearly caused a car accident today. Scary stuff. He was going to the grocery store to get more juicing supplies and was just too out of it from hunger. He made an executive decision and got some rotisserie chicken at the deli. He was scared to tell me because he thought I'd be disappointed in him, but we discussed that this whole process is about learning to listen to our bodies instead of our taste buds and clearly his body was telling him he needed something, so I was actually proud of him. We agreed that he needs to eat some protein every day and discussed options on how to stick to the fast as well as possible while still making sure he gets what he needs. Man wanted to juice for breakfast and lunch and then have a sensible dinner but we discussed several reasons why I would prefer some alternatives. 1. If the point of this program is to change our relationship with food, wouldn't it make sense to still feel a bit "deprived" and only have the protein instead of a complete meal? I proposed that Man have only a chicken breast, piece of fish or handful of nuts instead of a meal. 2. Breakfast should be your heaviest meal of the day. It sets the tone for the rest of the day and prepares your body to burn a higher level of fat and calories. If you have a super light breakfast (i.e. juice) and then a heavier meal at the end of the day (i.e. a "sensible dinner"), your body isn't really prepared for that late meal. I suggested that if Man wanted to have one meal a day, he make it a healthy breakfast, such as a couple eggs and juice. 3. If Man does decide to have a complete meal at one point in the day, I suggested that he still eat a cleanse diet, which would be all whole, fresh foods, no sugar, dairy, grains or processed food. He was disappointed about not being able to have rice, and of course he needs to do what works for his body, but that was my suggestion. He wanted me to do the same but as long as my body is accepting it, I'm going to continue the program as planned. I'm not really sure what he settled on for himself but I'm sure I'll find out soon!

Another reason Man is a keeper
I'm having a crappy day today. Like, it's only 12:15 and I've already cried twice and been close to tears several more times. There's really nothing that's gone super wrong, it's just a lot of silly little things, combined with the fact that I'm crazy moody today. Man thinks it's from the juice fast, I wonder if it's not a little from that and a little from the fact that I'm about due to...umm...you know. Anyway, he always texts to check in a few times throughout the work day and just shot me a message asking how I'm holding up. When I told him about my day, he said he has a big hug waiting for me at home. Admittedly, he had me close to tears again, but I really am lucky to love someone so supportive and loving!
