DAY 2

Me drinking the world's best fruit juice mix... orange, lemon and grapefruit!
This is after I was feeling better.

My joints ache. My head is aching. I woke up at 5 a.m. and thought about another day of juice. Yesterday was hard. I only drank 3 quarts of juice but I got 2 lbs. of greens in and a whole head of celery. I was able to ride my bicycle for 30 minutes in a hefty head wind and actually felt stronger than ever. However, after the ride I crashed and had to lay in my bed a while. I took a few of my supplements but not all of them. Yesterday was a huge learning day of exactly how to juice. I'm waiting for my nut milk bags to come in the mail, I really need them!

My kids think I'm crazy and starving myself to death. For the first time in my life I can stand up and not feel insecure about what I'm choosing to do. I know this is so important for my body.

The juice tasted so overpoweringly strong by last night. By the time I got into bed I didn't have any idea how I would ever do another day of all juice. I just went to sleep hoping for the morning to bring a new strength to me about doing this. I am quite literally taking it one day at a time!

JUICE #1: 10 AM 1 QUART GVJ with mixed greens, spinach, celery, cucumber, carrot, and apple. 2 capsules MSM, 1 capsule digestive enzymes, and my medication.

JUICE #2: 12 noon 1 QUART GVJ same as above.

JUICE #3: 4:30 PM 1 PINT fruit juice with orange, lemon, and grapefruit.

JUICE #4: 7:00 PM 1/2 PINT fruit juice as above, 1/2 PINT GVJ as above

JUICE #5: 7:30 PM 1 PINT fruit juice as above

JUICE #6: 9:00 PM 1 PINT watermelon juice

Body work: enema in the morning (1st one ever, wow... that was an experience!), rebounding 20 min.

Today I didn't start early enough with my first juicy meal. Tomorrow I would like to have my first juice by 7:00 A.M., and make a little list of the supplements I need to take and when. The fruit juice (orange, lemon, grapefruit) was out of this world yummy!!

Today was very hard! Halfway through the day I felt like crap. Finally around 4 pm I said a prayer and asked God to please help me keep doing this if it was the right thing for my body, and if not that I would know... I was fine for it to go either way. I was instantly blessed with energy and a positive attitude. I just knew I could make it through this day. I'm only on my 2nd day and it feels like there is no way on this earth I could EVER make it to 92 days. I will take it one day at a time and see what happens.

DAY 1

Let the juice feast begin! This morning I am nervous and wondering how to do this. I have been reading about it and realize that this is all new territory in many ways. I've eaten as a raw vegan, vegetarian, carnivore... I've tried every "diet" out there. I've spent my life eating to lose weight or being stressed because I'm gaining weight... always around "weight." This begins a new place for me.

I am a compulsive over-eater... a food addict. I have been working the 12 steps for about 3 1/2 years. I finally realize that no matter how I eat, I will ALWAYS have to rely on God to help me. This is the only way I will EVER be at peace with food.

I have been eating horribly the last few days and feeling it in my body. This morning I woke up with gooey eyes, a stomach ache, and a runny nose; basically clogged up!!

My kids are just off to school and I am going to head to the store to buy my organic produce for the week. Wow! I'm excited and nervous. I wonder if I will be able to stand the greens, and how the fruit juices will affect me.

I've always been severely hypoglycemic. This will be very interesting!

Weight: 169 lbs. Height: 5' 5"

These are the greens I will be drinking today. 2 lbs, plus 1 head of celery! Wow!!








Here I am drinking my greens. Yummy... really, they weren't nearly as bad as I thought.

An hour later and my head feels funny and I've had to pee like crazy. I guess celery really is hydrating. :)
