Life After Juice feasting (Day 28)
It's been 28 days since I broke my juice feast. Settling back into eating has its challenges. Everything tastes so good. I have to watch myself carefully, as to not awaken old overeating habits. Being 100% raw vegan is a permanent lifestyle for me. I am setting new goals for myself as far as physical exercise. I was not very good about keeping up a routine in the past and my muscle tone reveals my neglect. I am continuing to feel fantastic. If It were possible, I would juice feast
for a year. It's not recommended to juice feast more than 3 months unless you
are under the care of a professional.

Hi Tuliza
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! It is so encouraging when people stop by and comment.
I actually have not planted a number of fruit trees in my back yard. My pear tree, as usual, is loaded with pears which we will begin to eat in August, and which will last through November. I now have also planted an apple tree, two plum trees, two apricot trees, and a "fruit cocktail" tree - which has branches of different types of fruit grafted onto one tree.
I want to try planting different greens again in the early fall. It is SO hot here in Texas in the summer. My lettuce did great in the spring.
I've discovered that I have a ways to go in learning how to garden vegetables! My roses and flowers are still doing pretty well, but I've been having trouble with the veggies.
Have a super day
Mary
