I seem to have a cold......but it also feels like detox. Could be both....today is day 3 of juice feasting. It is easy..and I am proud that I have maintained when I could have caved...luckily my appetite is off....so hunger feelings are easier to deal with as I really don't feel them much at the moment. I made 3 quarts of orange/graperfruit juice yesterday but I didn't drink much of it. The grapefruit were old and mushy and didn't taste very good. I was thinking that mixed with the oj they were okay...but I just couldn't bring myself to drink much of it. Luckily I wasn't very hungry. Late in the afternoon I mixed up 4 scoops of my raw greens powder (Garden of Life) in some water and drank that. That helped alot. Then in the evening I made a quart of carrot apple juice with a bit of greens in it....and then mixed 2 scoops of my Raw Power protein powder in that....it has maca in it which I was hoping would give me a bit more energy. I was really feeling tired yesterday....got totally stressed out driving..which brought out my not so finer qualities....on the way home, I had to give my husband a ride to and from his office as he took his car in for maintenance....on the way there I upset him as I just was so annoyed and impatient and frustrated...on the way home I was pretty much the same so when I picked him up I had him drive. Then I came home, reheated some leftovers called that dinner (they were very good really.....bean enchilada casserole with sauteed zucchini, onions to which I added white corn and a can of diced tomatoes...) I went to bed early as I was quite tired. Today I am still quite tired...it does feel like a cold...but some of it is detox I swear.....I had a nice big poop (get used to it) last night that smelled quite foul and afterwards I definitely felt better. So today's juice is my 2 lbs of carrots, 3 heads of romaine lettuce, 1/2 bunch of celery, package of small sweet peppers, 1/2 bunch of parsley, 1/2 bunch of dandelion greens, 4 apples, 4 oranges and a sour not ripe lemon. It is good, but I think I won't add the lemon the next time. Going out for a massage and a chiropractic treatment this afternoon....I was reared 2 weeks ago...still healing.
What do I hope to accomplish on this juice feast? I would like to see my skin get younger, more elastic...I would love to lose my varicose veins completely, I would love for my gray hairs to go away.....they do seem to decrease quite a bit when I am juicing, eating alot of greens....and of course I would love to get down to my ideal weight. Is it 166? or 156? or 146? or somewhere in between? So far (I know it's only day 3 but yesterday was an unusual day....) I have lost 5.5 pounds!
That is great...
