Day 12

Day 12
Wow! I have so much energy today after being so tired yesterday. I decided to do some household spring cleaning. I pulled everything out of the closets and drawers and literally reorganized and purged old stuff. Similar to the way the juice feast is cleansing my body. It's a great feeling. I had to stop and take breaks so I wouldn't burn out and end up not completing the task.

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.

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.

Day 10



Day: 10


Lot's of detox stuff going on last night. I got a slight headache before I went to bed and there was a lot of churning going on in my intestines. It's funny, I posted on Day 9 that I had two solid eliminations. later on it became six and it was as if the dam broke...lol. lots of cleaning going on in there. I noticed on the juice feasting time line, that enemas are to be done for a full 20 days.. I was under the impression that I was only to do it for 7 days and every couple of days thereafter. I am glad I had an enema today. I feel 100% better.

My sleeping patterns
Last nights sleep: I slept very well.
Night sweats: None
Chills: None
Dreams: I had a dream that I was eating Mashed potatoes. I can't remember mush else. I woke up feeling guilty for thinking I broke my juice feast.
Energy level upon waking: Moderate, then gaining more energy after the enema.
Mood level upon waking: Good


Juice Schedule

Physical changes: I'm gaining some strength in my legs and I'm begging to see my body taking on a sleeker appearance.

Emotional changes: I had an emotional breakthrough today. Lots of tears. I'm not even sure why I was crying. I think was my reaction to, what I experienced as, a release today. I felt a since of freedom from the deep emotional chains that surrounded me for many years. I have always harnessed my emotions because I didn't want to deal with them.

evening.
