Day 32

Day 32
11:25am

Too pooped to write last night. I started getting tired around 2pmish. I got to bed early and had a well rested nights sleep. I guess my body is requiring rest; hopefully to heal and detox. I just wish I had more energy to do more stuff in the evenings when I get home from work. I assumed I'd start having more increased energy by now on this feast. Oh well. I'm sure the increased energy will come after I start back on solids.

I used to have these grand ambitions about what I was going to do later, only to decide to eat cooked food, whatever it was, then crash out! This is ONE of the things I want to change. After the kids go to bed, by 8:30pm, I could totally go to the gym and work out, go for a sauna, or to the climbing gym, do some yoga, read and or take Roxy for a walk!! I'm looking forward to being productive with my increased energy!

I actually contemplated taking a class or 2. The semester started January 28th, but I didn't want to not have the energy to read and study. This feasting takes so much time, energy, not to mention the monetary cost. I feel it's an investment in my health as well as my family's health! (Leading by example!) My kids are always asking me if this or that is "healthy"! ;-)

Did I mention that my mother-in-law is back on the fast/feast with me. She's doing a modified version. Since she's a diabetic, she's doing mostly greens juices and is also doing green smoothies. So far so good. I think she's on like day 10 now. I can tell her energy level is increasing since she started taking Roxy for a walk in the mornings. She's got at least 100lbs to shed. I'm hoping she stays with this for a while. I know I'm a motivator since I've got so much time under my belt already.

I trekked out to the elephant pharmacy last night and picked up some chanca peidra! Yeah! I'm stoked to continue with cleansing my liver. I had such a great experience when I did the Amazing Liver and Gallbladder flush, I wanted to continue until the stones are flushed out. Then I read that the chanca piedra is much more gentler, and the fact that I don't have to consume the epson salts and water is a plus. The great experience I'm referring to

Day 33
11:29am

Thought I'd comment real quick about how good I'm feeling right now. OMG, what a difference a day makes! I think I should really be saying is what a difference an enema make! I was unable to do an enema for the last day or so. I got a chance to do one last night and again this morning! My energy level is really I and I have an immense feeling of gratitude for this day, for this feast, for the love of my family, for the love of this amazing juice feasting and raw community! I want to keep going! I want to make it to day 92! I think I can, I think I can....

Day 34 update coming soon...

Day 30...Feeling pretty good

10:24pm

It's getting late, but I wanted to post a little something before I retire for the evening. I'm stoked to have made it this far! Well, after not too much consideration, I think it's a good time for me break my fast! I feel compelled to eat and will start with some Indian food...........................NOT!!! I'm totally joking and couldn't resist!

I have to say that I was just slightly disappointed to know that some fellow feasters we ready to end their juice feast! Actually, I'm more envious than anything else! The committee in my mind couldn't help but to contemplate whether we were ready as well to end our feast as well! I told them sternly, "HEEEEELLLLLL NOOOO!" I'm not ready! No, No, No! Not yet! As much as I want to get back to solid foods again, I feel like I can keep going a little while longer. How much longer? I'd like to get to 60 days! I'm going to shoot for 40 days and re-evaluate where I'm at! I know I can make another week!

I'm totally on cruise control right now. I'm so into my juice feasting routine; it's really not that hard to keep going at this point. Sure, I have my challenges and difficulties at times, but all I have to do to get through them is to try any, if not all, of the following: drink more juice; take a nap; take an enema; pray; meditate; go to a meeting; or just got to bed! ;-) So far so good!

I was going to write much more, but I'm really pooping out here! I will try and write earlier tomorrow! Until then....

Be well!
