Day 33 and 34


Day 33 and 34

My significant other says our whole house smells like lawn clippings and that it is over powering. He also says I need to ease up on the garlic. He's not raw and he is not juicing, however, somehow we manage to live together in harmony. I received my dehydrator yesterday and I started making my own green powders from the fiber after juicing. It's just too good to go to waste. Today is shopping day and I'm going to experiment with some new juice recipes.


My sleeping patterns
Last nights sleep: Very Good
Night sweats: None
Chills: No
Dreams: Last night I had a dream I was eating prunes and other foods I recall. I woke up feeling guilty as if I had broken the juice feast.

Energy level upon waking: High
Mood level upon waking: good


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

32 ounces of green juice (celery, cucumber, swiss chard, collard greens, red green apples, basil and garlic ) w/ Nutiva* organic hemp oil.

Detox Symptoms:
Eliminations: I am happy to say I am eliminating on my own. I chose not to use laxatives while juicing because of past abuse issues. I do an enema every two days to keep my system free of toxins and skin brushing everyday.

Food cravings: None

Physical changes: No specific changes
Emotional changes: Feeling great

Belly dancing: None

Challenges: Fitting all my veggies and fruit in with my spouses SAD food. He had been away for two weeks and it was easy then but not now.
My starting weight: 143lbs

Total weight loss since juice feasting began: 8lbs

Day 29 and 30

Day 29 and 30

I have been sneezy for a couple of days. I sneezed so much, I threw my back out. I added an extra 1/2 tsp of MSM to my lemon water to help get me through the worst of it.
