Day 11

Day: 11
My Wheatgrass juicer arrived! I feel like a kid with a brand new toy.

I'm a little tired today and don't have much of an appetite for juice. There is some serious detoxing going on.

My sleeping patterns
Last nights sleep: Didn't sleep as well last night. I had to get up a couple times.
Lots of intestinal eliminations and I had lower back pain. At one point, during the night visit to the bathroom, my elimination was quite uncomfortable. I kept feeling like the urge to go, yet nothing.
Night sweats: None
Chills: Some
Dreams: No memory
Energy level upon waking: a little low today from lack of sleep.
Mood level upon waking: so so.


Juice Schedule
My personal Juice Schedule:
32 ounces of water w/ lemon and MSM*
Time: 9:00am

1 cup of peppermint tea ( very nice)

32 ounces of green juice (celery, cucumber, spinach, green apples)
Time: 11:00am

32 ounces of grapefruit w/ Patagonia* bee pollen
Time: 1:30pm

32 ounces of green juice (celery, cucumber, spinach, green apples) w/ Nutiva* organic hemp oil.
Time: 4:30pm

32 ounces of green juice (celery, cucumber, spinach, green apples)
Time: 8:30pm

Detox Symptoms: Lots of emotional stuff along with the intestinal eliminations.

Eliminations: Several intestinal eliminations last night and today. If it weren't for the fact that I knew I had had beets yesterday, I would have thought I was hemorrhaging. I passed red for 24 hours. The enema really helped me to feel better today.

Food cravings: None

Physical changes: My abdomen looks flatter. Feels flatter also.

Emotional changes: I had some teary moments. I have been listening to meditation and healing CD's. I think my liver getting cleansed, with the juice feasting, is stirring up all kinds of emotions.

Exercise: Walking to regain strength in my legs: 30 min
Belly dancing: None Belly dancing will be starting again soon. I can't wait.
Muscle toning: None


Challenges: Consuming all my juice today.

My starting weight: 143lbs
Todays weight: 140lbs. (It seem to be experiencing a weight plateau)

Total weight loss since juice feasting began: 3lbs

My future self loves unconditionally, including myself.
