JF Day 4

Went and saw Milk last night - a powerful movie. At times quite unsettling. It is always interesting to me how in times of crisis there always seems to be someone who will step up to the plate. I thought about so many of my friends and what they must have had to go through (and may still be going through) in order to live their lives in fulfilling ways. Isn't it just human nature to want to be loved and accepted for who you are? If you haven't - go see the movie or rent it when it comes out.

But enough about heavy stuff - let's talk light. I snuck on the scale today and have lost 6 lbs. already. I imagine that is normal when one goes to a purely liquid diet. But I also feel much lighter too. I still have a minor headache at least once during the day - but it is getting smaller and I am feeling better. My fear is that I will have a "fasting crisis" which is supposed to be avoided by drinking the gallon of juice a day. Last night we got home late so I did the lemon juice/cayenne/agave mixture for my last quart.

Overall I am feeling fine. The literature warned me that my blood pressure would lower a bit at first and to be careful standing up too fast. I have felt that a little bit but nothing that I haven't felt before. I may try the hot/cold shower this morning which is supposed to stimulate the lymphatic system.

I did attempt to buy an enema kit yesterday but Walgreens did not have one. I'm not sure where to look next. Still very apprehensive about this aspect of the feast but we will see. I promise no details if this ever happens.

I am concerned about next weekend when I'll be in Anaheim Thursday - Sunday. I'll be lookig for juice places and hoping it won't be too bad. I'll bring lemons etc. but may have to fall back on Jamba carrot juice. We'll see.
