7 Day Crossfit Juice Fast-Day 7

     The juice fast draws to a close tonight. It has been a good week and I've made some personal revelations. I have tremendous will power. Not one soda, alcoholic beverage, cooked food, meat, or any other cheat has passed my lips. A juice fast is somewhat extreme, but it is doable. I haven't been that hungry and have had plenty of energy and stamina to perform high intensity physical activity five of the seven days. Lastly, a plant strong diet makes me feel good. I am less sore, I recover faster, I feel better about myself, my choices, and my impact on the planet.

     My cold continues to progress, but my symptoms are mild. Much less pronounced than the kids have experienced. I don't feel bad at all, just a scratchy throat and a little cough. 

     I had a great workout this morning. It was a partner WOD and I got to do it with my buddy who is one of the top guys in our box. I was nervous about keeping up with him, but I did! I never felt too winded to get the work done. We scored over 400! Again, I felt like I could have done a two-a-day.

     The family and I are going out to breakfast in the morning. I'm excited by this and a little nervous. I'm curious how my body and GI tract will react. I'm going to take it slow. I have missed my old friend bacon, so there is definitely some of that in my future. I think I'll also have some eggs and OJ. 

     The fast has been a good experience and I will probably do it again, maybe once a quarter. Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead calls it a reboot. I like this description. It resets your mind, gut, metabolism, and priorities. If you have any ideas how I can make this process cleaner or better please let me know. Follow and message me on Twitter @Hypnos4hire.
