Another Good Day

I noticed I'm not counting the days anymore. I figure if I can make it to the 19th I'll have 30 days of feasting (that counts the three day binge too). It is becoming such a routine now. Get up, make juice, live my day and drink the juice. Today I wore pants and a shirt that have not fit for several years - that felt really good. And they were comfortable (not all tight and stretchy.)

I also find that I am not that thirsty in the morning. Today I didn't even drink my first juice until almost 9. It was made and ready but I just finished my lemon/water/cayenne/MSM/salt drink and that was enough. I wasn't hungry at all.

I did go out and eat today. I went to the Whole Wheatery and had 32oz. "Get Smart" (Carrots/kale/spinach/parsley/ginger) juice and a double shot of wheat grass. I sat at a little table at the juice bar while they made it and read Raw recipe books. It felt pretty good. I think I will make it a once a week event.

I went to buy my veggies for tomorrow and the store was closed. The good store. The one that has quite a selection of organic veggies and fruit. Ended up at the other store in town. Pretty slim pickings. I bought some non-organic kale and organic pre-washed spinach (on sale!) and one bag of the celery hearts. Why do growers think that people who like organic produce want just the hearts of celery? I much prefer the whole head. I have enough to get me started in the morning but I might have to juice twice tomorrow. At the not-so-good store they said the power was going to be turned off in town and that's why the other store was closed. Well the power hasn't gone off yet (or else my neighborhood was unaffected.

There is one draw back to this juice feast - and weight loss. I am cold all the time lately. I sleep with extra blankets and am still cold. I ma such a wimp. My hands are freezing right now. I'm hoping this is a stage and that I will warm up soon. Lately the only place I feel war is in my car with the heat way up.
