I think the most amazing thing about juice feasting is the sense of inner peace I am feeling lately. Who knew drinking juices could do that to you. I’m watching less TV, not smoking anymore, I *want* to exercise and do yoga… and I’ve turned into my body in a way that I didn’t even know was possible. I’m communicating with my body like it is a very assertive child that I am taking care of…. I’m receptive to its needs.
I don’t think this inner journey is over by any means. One of the things I want to work on is letting go of feelings of guilt. Guilt is not only unhealthy; it also creates an acidic environment in the body. I need to stop feeling guilty for things. The first thing I need to stop feeling guilty for is forgetting to take supplements and exercising. It’s no big deal. No need for guilt; it won’t change the past. Instead, I just need to focus on doing better tomorrow. That’s it.
I don’t know if juice feasting and this community of juice feasters (that I’ve become so close to) has become a substitute for this but… I no longer feel the overwhelming urge to have a boyfriend. This is MAJOR. I’ve been a little obsessed with this (in a very Ally McBeal-kinda way) for some time. I’m actually feeling really content with being single right now; being with myself and taking care of myself isn’t so bad. I am really starting to love myself, truly and deeply and I think this is the major key to this change; I don’t feel like I need someone else’s love to make me feel worthy of being loved. My own self-love is enough.
Today I had:
1.25L water+msm+lemon
1.25L celery/green chard/parsley+kelp+Himalayan salt+E3live
500ml water+chanca piedra
1.5L pineapple/blood orange/blackberry (yum!)
500ml water+chanca piedra
1.5L green apple/kiwi
750ml apple/spinach/ginger+E3live+Spirulina+Himalayan salt
1Tbsp bee pollen/honey
2Tbsp honey/royal jelly
1tbsp hemp oil+2 Tbsp lemon juice (shot glass style, went down easier)
Enzymes
Today I also did
Acupeds (targeted kidneys)
Zapper (all day)
10 min rebounder
1 hour nap
Slept from 8PM to 5:30PM
Took the day off (felt really REALLY tired and dizzy this morning… said “fuck it!”) Oops… so much for not swearing! :PHousecleaning!
I’m a bit worried that according to David’s instructions (based on some videos and comments of his I read), I should have ended my juice feast about 2 or 3 weeks ago… (based on my current weight and hunger) but then again, I have a major dis-ease that I’m fighting so I think going forward with the full 92 days isn’t a bad idea. My weight has honestly stabilized… I haven’t lost any weight in more than a week. I’m at a stable 142lbs and it won’t budge. I am craving raw foods like crazy though… but I don’t think it’s a real hunger… I think it’s a curiosity… I can’t wait to get back in the kitchen and be creative with foods.
Anyway that’s it for now :)
