Juice Fast Day 2

Last night I didn't go very early to bed and then sat dozing into a stupor until 2 am. I drifted in and out of deep sleep.

I woke this morning feeling like there is fuzz in my upper chest, deep down in tissues. My eyes were swollen. I felt some washed out and slept in until about 8 am; I looked horrible. Certainly things are working. That fuzzy feeling which is strange and horribly not nice showed up 5 years ago in my upper lower gut. It was black feeling. I did an energy treatment on myself and it burst into light and I felt so much better. Up until that point I was in bed for 3 days head smashing me down with such violent aches, I felt dizzy, weak, nauseous-- mercury detox. br>
It was after rising that I started with some juice. Half a squeezed lemon into a tall glass of water. I slow sipped it through a few hours and complimented it with water. 2ish I had carrot & ginger juiced diluted approx 50% with water. That has satisfied me until right now, 6:48. I figure it is best to drink a second juice now. I am drinking the greens plus an apple, no carrot in the mixture. Carrot is rather strong for me because it is so sweet. What I look forward to is tea tonight. Hot tea, made with 3 fennel again. I am feeling great now and I look like me again. hahaha.

I weighed myself today, forgot to yesterday. I figure I lost 2 pounds, the scales showed me at 110 pounds. It was my hope that my weight doesn't drop too much. I don't mind being really light weight during summer. Running is a joy in the thin, I feel like I am nearly flying. :) Considering it is still chilly weight loss will be stilted and will hold back some fat. This will better prepare myself for a further fast in the hot weather when fresh fruits and veggies harvest is blazing a glow.

I have felt better as the day went on today. Energy but I am feeling tired tonight. It is 11:02

Juice Fast - Day 1

No camera yet, still buried in the storage unit. I resist moving all the nicely stacked stuff and rooting through boxes. Still no move for me. I hang out mostly in the room I sleep in. What is going in my life. I have income dribbling in, a couple of clients and an upcoming Reiki workshop to teach, o and an appt. on Tuesday to see about doing work through another venue in a small local village. I have been resisting anchoring myself and once I decided I don't have to anchor myself to work here, I can travel and teach and work with clients. Now things are slowing beginning to move. I have been organizing and rid of stuff no longer useful, again.

So today I started a juice fast. One juice in the morning and one in the late afternoon is the general idea and herbal tea when wanted, drinking tons of water through the day. The morning juice that I didn't have until afternoon was of broccoli, celery, dark dino kale, ida red apple, carrot; and the later juice was carrot with ginger. Tea in the early evening of 3 fennels. That helps to move toxins on out.

Following drinking the first juice of the day which was in the afternoon, about 2 pm, there was such a rush of energy that cranked on in me.

My detox symptoms are gentle. I released a huge bit on Wednesday through giving myself an energy treatment. Very slight headache, not much at all. Mostly I tired easily. Driving to a local town and back began lulling me to sleep as soon as I returned to the farm. Late afternoon until early evening I wanted to eat a banana. I didn't do and now am glad I stuck to juice. I am getting rushes of energy like viral chills, on off late day into the night now. Maybe there is a virus that has been hovering in me trying to get active and is being flushed up and out. No other viral symptoms. It isn't something I have had to deal with for YEARS, colds or flu's. Today though I got extremely tired. A nap took me down for about half an hour. I am not much of a daytime napper. I really need this cleanse after eating commercial stuff that carries chemicals, too much of it, last week in London. I let the feeling to do so, run it's course.

Still I am missing not being able to do a kitchen the functional practical way I enjoy working in, so the foods generally kept on hand have not been on hand. The pulp from juicing will be dehydrated into crackers and breads. That will help satisfy my snacking wants, a lot. Always I do know how to do with making do with less when I have to.

wow, my stomach just growled. I haven't heard that kind of organ groaning in a long time! Time to finish knitting a sock and early to bed. This juice fast may usher in a different schedule than I have been living. I look forward to that.

The weather is chilly and spring this year sucks. Cold, wet and a lack of sunshine. We may get a big thunderstorm overnight says the weather man. yes, looking forward to its arrival.
