Farmer's Market Day


Days 8 and 9:)

Day 8 was fine--i got alot of sleep;)
really enjoying the juices !!

I will start taking spirilina this weekend--I tend to try 'new' things on the weekends because I work during the week.. if anything 'unusual' is going to happen as a result of a new supplement I want to know in advance (at home-if you know what I mean).

Day 9: I am excited about Day 9 just because tomorrow is Day 10! It's an even number --10 just sounds impressive!! Anyway we should live in the moment but i'm still excited to have made it this far:)

How I feel: Full of energy

Juices/regimen:
am: water with lemon (MSM) this is actually starting to taste good to me-my taste buds are changing..
Juice #1--celery, cucumber, kale, tomato and i added jalapeno (just a bit) very good !!

Juice #2--cantoulope, spinach--I saw this posted somewhere and gave it a try--very yummy (this one separated though-so I had it give it a stir) but worth it!

Juice #3--watermelon (this made 2 quarts!

juice #4--watermelon

pm: water with lemon


peace and Amen:)

Juice Feast Day 7

Got up later than usual--so I was short on time with prepping my juices (aaugh)
am: lemon water with MSM capsules--i added a touch of honey to it for sweetness
juice #1 kale, celery, cucmber and tomatos (this was really good) i wanted to have a juice with no fruit and I really liked this one--I added a pinch of sea salt--I'm making this one again tomorrow:)
juice#2 - same as above
juice #3 watermelon juice ( 1 mini sized watermelon makes just under 2 quarts:))
juice #4 same as juices 1 and 2
How I feel:
so far so good--i don't have cravings-- i am really happy about this because even when I was 80% raw i sometimes craved french fries--but i know that after experiencing just having juice--i am going to savor every single raw meal i will have in the future:) (at least that's what i am hoping for)
I need quiet time--my house can be loud sometimes which can be bothersome--i am really cutting down on the TV time--like MAYBE 1 show--of course i will be watching American Idol 2night! But i am watching less news (depressing) and no crime shows..
Energy is really good--i teach little kids so I have to be energetic and alert all day--so far I have a little more energy than when I started this JF.. :)
Exercise: YES:) 20 mins on the elliptical every night--and sit ups
I am trying to add in more water though--i don't want to get dehydrated
TMI coming-- i am seeing that enemas are important --so i will add those in more--i don't want a sluggish colon!!
Thanks to those that have positive comments:)
Peace!!

Juice Feast Day 6

All is well with my juicefeast:)
AM: lemon- water with MSM did i mention that i don't like the lemon water--it need to be sweet!! but it's getting easier to endure.
juice # 1 spinach, kale (just a little), tomato, celery, cucumber, cilantro, carrot--the predominate item is the spinach
juice #2 same as above
juice#3 pinapple -orange HEAVEN:)
chamomile tea with honey in the eve and the afternoon--I'm cold I live nearby some snowy mountains and I guess we are getting the cold breeze---burrrr!!
juice #4 from same batch as above--didn't really want it- just had about 8 oz..though.
About yesterday--I did 20mins on the elliptical (YAY)
TMI coming--stop reading if you don't want to know....................................
ok still reading--i did the enema thingie--first time for everything I guess--it wasn't that bad......
And i did feel really clean afterwards:) I'm not sure if i'm sold on doing that everday though--i'll think about it...
anyway--i'm full of energy--no big emotional outbursts and feel pretty good--i am looking forward to being all raw again--the food picts posted on this site didn't help--i just closed that windo quick-like:)
Peace
oh yeah--one important note--i did the enema thingie and the next morning--my mouth was not as fuzzy!!mmmm..that's interesting!

Juice Feast Day 5

Still juicing and feeling good:)
I went to the health food store (the only place I can get organic veggies and fruits) Our Farmers market is only one day per week:( I bought some kale and tomato for this week
Todays Juices
Juice #1 leftover from last night ( i know they should be made fresh daily BUT i am not going to waste it!!
Juice# 2 roma tomatos, cilantro, carrot, mixed greens,celery, cucmber (VERY TASTY)
Juice#3 watermelon--WOW this one was amazing!!
Juice #4 same as juice #2
I am still feeling cold--today the weather was grey and cloudy and cold--so that didn't help!
It was fun to go to the health food store though--I love going there:)
My feelings are good--I was quiet today and just observing--I actually made a nice dinner for my family and requested that we sit at the table together--I have 2 teens and we haven't done this in a long time because of everyone's crazy schedule!! My family is supportive and didn't mind that i just had juice--my hubby really liked the watermelon juice too!
detox symptons: fuzzy mouth (yuck)!!, one bump on my face (i usually have clear skin so that's new)

Juice Feast Days 3 and 4

Still juicing:) Friday was great except I was a bit off schedule with drinking the juice--i ended up sipping on juice #1 which isn't really the directions but i ended up ok--i probably drank a little less because of sipping on juice #1. I had to teach 120-- 7 year olds how to use chopsticks--that was FUN:)
Today (Day4)
I was thinking I would juice each quart as the day went but I juiced all the quarts in the morning which is great because it keeps me on schedule for mon thru fri..
I did a SWF this am instead of the enema ( i'll probably try that later)
I became really tired after the flush so i had to take a nap.. plus it was cold and windy so snuggling on the couch was fine with me..
My fav juice of the day was the pineapple orange (lovin that one)
This feast is going really well---this is much easier than the lemonade cleanse because there are many flavors to choose from.
I am really taking this day by day and am enjoying sll the info I am getting on juicefeasting.com --
The only thing I am experiencing is coldness!! Before giving up meat years ago and being vegan/raw I was always cold anyway...but now it's worse.. I have been drinking herbal teas and enjoying that :)

Juice Feast Day 2

today went ok
it took 1 1/2 hours to prep the juice for today: 4 quarts green (spinach, carrot, celery, pear) 1 quart fruit (YUMMMY) pineapple+ orange --that was the highlight of today. I found that it is important to drink the juice every 2-3 hours as directed cause i did start to get hungry.. and the juice took away the hunger right away:) I actually had 1 extra quart left over because its 3 quarts green to 1 quart fruit juice--i didn't really want it later so i'll give to the hubby:)
I went and got some green apples today--and cucumbers so that will be in tomorrows recipe for the green stuff--I work so I took a cooler with ice and my quarts--it worked out well--i became cold so I did have some organic tea in the evening--that was perfect--I did start the day with water, lemon, and msm
no enema today--i'm waiting for the weekend for that. I wonder if it's ok to do the SWF instead--i'm trying to find out--if anyone knows please let me know--thanks:)
Did i want to eat today--uh yeah--today was rough at work because alot of people are getting laid off work for the next year--that really sucks--these are hard working people dedicated to what they do--it's just not fair--dang California politicians:(
anyway i had the warm tea and that was comforting enough:)
