Feliz Dia de las Madres!
A little late, I know, but it's still technically Mother's Day. :)
Yesterday, I attended
WorldFest 2008 in Encino, CA. I helped to man the booth represented by
The Aetherius Society. Throughout the day, we administered
hands on healing treatments as well as performed each of…

Wow! I'm done! Finished! But I also feel like my journey has just begun. I reached day 89 and found that I couldn't stop thinking about food and I felt hungry all the tme. Listen to your body right?!? So I decided not to feel defeated by missing the ultimate goal by 2 days! Still, I hadn't shopped for my prunes yet so I hung in there until the next day when I could break the fast properly. I was also having a little anxiety about the prunes as I have never had any before. I'm happy to report tha…

First, the Physical
It's getting to the point where people are starting to become concerned. Yes, I am about 10% below the "ideal" weight now, but truly, I can still pinch an inch in certain places! Also, as I mentioned in my first blog entry, I'm not sure that the ideal weight calculation is right for me. I actually feel great at about 6 pounds less than that.
I'm determined to keep going for at least a while longer. After a long talk with my husband yesterday, I soaked some prunes over…

May 10, 2008 - Day 20
20 days. And this is the weekend to “look for significant life changes”. I’m a-looking.
I spent a lot of money today buying things for the garden and then spent a few glorious hours planting out there. I feel so attuned, so filled with spirit when I work in the garden, it’s a wonderful uplifting feeling.
Started out the day by racing to yoga class – new teacher and it was not a gentle class – she really worked us. Then finally jogged for the first time in a few days, it…

Hello!
I created this "profile" because... I'm on day 20 of juice feasting (joined into the Global Movement a little later than the commencing of) ...and it just sort of hit me, once I moved to Bermuda for the season that... it was time.
My journey of health has been very mystical, to try to best-capsize.... such a journey.
It's really powerful to be doing this here, in Bermuda--- to have the space to listen this much deeper to my self and my system, and my karma and my body...
I send all of y…

I haven´t been on in over a month. I have wanted nothing more than to do this 90 day juice feast. The people that have added me as a friend, I just want to thank them for reaching out. Everyone in this community is so helpful, and inspiring, and as a group we all just collectively want to feel human. I just don´t know why everyday of my life I have to fight with myself about doing what is the greatest good for me. I have lost the battle to food all of my life. I am in constant turmoil. I ran off…

Drinks of the day:
spinach/cuke/celery/green powder
apple/celery/kale/beet/splash of ginger juice
herbal teas
carrot/cinnamon
pineapple/raspberry - amazingly delicious
I lugged around a 6 pack cooler all day with these juices but it was so cold my body really just wanted tea.

I thought I was in a habit of recording everyday, but yesterday was such a feeling crummy day that writing seemed a waste of time. Not that it would have been, but in my mind, I could see no good in anything.
This memory of the cells thing. As we regress we live through emotional upsets, etc. I don't recall feeling as down as I did yesterday, so I wonder if the brain dumps a bunch at once like it does in the bowel. I knew it was temporary, but it still sucked.

I did an interview tonight with Dr. Tanya Jones. Actually, David was supposed to join me, but there was a technical glitch on the show’s end and he couldn’t get on! What a drag. I was very disappointed and felt rather silly about that. At any rate, I did the interview myself and we talked about juice feasting and raw plant based nutrition in relation to health and spirituality. We talked about a number of other things as well. It actually turned out to be a rather good show, but still there were…

I feeling better these days, Although I feel I still have a lot of healing still left to do after my emotionally traumatic experience. I have been trying very hard to just let it go, but for some reason I can't. I take this to mean I should not let it go but to deal with it in a healthy way. I wish I could share with you all what has happened, however, due to family confidentiality I am unable to disclose the incident. I do feel it is important to talk about what is going on…

The downward trend has been continuing so yesterday I really looked at the clock wondering when I can go to bed (had some things to finish up though). For the first time, my juice really tasted gross to me and I was so so so tired.
I drank it up anyways but felt like it stayed in my stomach for a long time.
Sleep was deep but unsatisfying, as if I were ill. Today is still a drag. I'm tired and in a bad mood.
To be honest, I want to stay in bed and eat cheese bagels. But work and other obligation…

This past week has gone by so quickly. I've been experiencing a lot of changes & detox in different ways than at the beginning of the feast. It is so interesting & at the same time, I hardly think about it at all anymore. It is not something I have to think about. I am not thinking about food or what I'm going to juice or how much I have eaten(drank) or what I have been consuming etc.. I am facing everything that comes up in my days, happy or sad, head on & dealing with those things…

What a wonderful day! I cannot believe I am alive to experience all of the amazing things going on in my life.
I was blessed by some experiences with my granddaughter this morning. I was tending her, and she was bored because I was working. I reached a point where I could stop, and we went for a nice long walk. She loves to go for walk to look for wildflowers. She taught me a valuable lesson when she picked a flower she had not seen before, and after showing it to me, she turned back to the pla…

Since about day 20, I have sudden memories coming back to me, especially before sleeping. Like, stuff I did as a teen. My friends, what we talked about, where we hung out…
Stuff I’d never think about normally.
It happens now a lot, almost everyday I have a small flashback and am like “WOW! This was a long time ago!”
Last night I noticed that those memories have gotten further back in time, I started remembering stuff when I was a kid.
So I tried to concentrate and imagine myself in our old house…

Juices:

Master Cleanse
Carrot/cinnamon
This day started out a little down due to not enough sleep, but a jog by the beautiful ocean and listening to Abraham/Hicks helped shift the energy.
I just spent the last seven hours making a food box for someone – need to simplify the process or something. And didn’t taste one single thing – or even feel tempted.
Lots and lots of good things happening with the raw busin…

It is day three. I had a complete melt down on Sunday the night before the start of my feast. I felt like crying and I had no idea why.
I suspect I was freaked out about the great unknown, what to expect. Could I do it? Would it be another failed attempt to make changes to my diet for the better? Would it be another failed attempt to heal my body and restore it to radiant health?
Plus I was feeling miffed about having to do a cleanse, a feast in the first place! why can't I just be naturally g…

I'm still pretty amazed that I'm doing this. I wonder when the reality will set in. The routine is still coming around, much easier, obviously on the days I'm at home. I'm thinking of doing the master cleanse on the days I can't be home to make the juice, but I know that means we don't get the greens in, so I'm not sure how to deal with that. I really don't like the idea of drinking old juice. It's been drilled into me for years and years how the enzymes deteriorate quickly once the flesh is com…

I'm thinking that I really should go ahead and get a juicer. There's no way around it basically since I will of course be juicing after the JF and the cuisinart is just not ideal for the green stuff.
It works excellent for the fruits though, no doubt about that. But I feel my green juices are lacking in quality.
So I'm eyeing the green star again hehehe.
Right now I'm "fighting" for money that a company owes me for a freelance job from LAST YEAR so I made the resolution that once I got that, it'…

How It's Going
I'm not sure why I decided to begin my juice feast at such a busy time of my life, but I'm relieved to have a day at home today to re-integrate. I'm feeling happy today: proud of myself for making it through two weeks of juice feasting, glad to be able to do a deep clean of the kitchen (feasting can make messes!), perky about my upcoming walk with my dog.
Benefits
I did yoga this morning for the first time in a few weeks, and I was amazed! Upward bow (backbend) was…

One of the benefits of juice feasting in Los Angeles is that there are juice bars
everywhere. Between Jamba Juice, Robek's and the Mexican restaurants, most of which have juice bars, there is fresh juice available almost everywhere you go. I'm working in Pacoima today which is a little town just north of Los Angeles and there is a Mexican restaurant about a half mile from here which has a juice bar. This morning I got two quarts of fresh pineapple juice there, jugo de pina I think is the…

Juices:

Orange/grapefruit
Honeydew/lemon juice
Cantaloupe
Carrot/cinnamon
Apple/pear/ginger
Pineapple/raspberry
Kale/tomato/celery
What I’m noticing:
My teeth feel fuzzy, like Angela Stokes mentions in the Juice Feasters Handbook, so brushing very frequently.
The MSM is making my fingernails very strong, and for two weeks I haven’t bitten them at all – a lifelong nervous habit.

Talk about synchronicities, yesterday, I was walking back from the farmer’s market in Hollywood when I ran into an Indian man on my path sitting near the Arclight Theater. He started to tell me all kinds of things about my life – past, future and present. His clairvoyance was quite good. It was crazy. Who knows
what or who he was. He said he was going back to India next week. What’s
that all about?

Day 64, 65 and 66
I had a major emotional upset this weekend and it was a real challenge for me. In the past I would have handled an emotional upset with bingeing on food(even raw food). I was quite proud of myself for not throwing in the towel and undoing all my cleansing. I handled the pain without the comfort of food. For the first time in my life, I allowed myself to really feel hurt and anger. I cried today, like I had never cried before. I let myself feel anger and not tuck it away and le…

that all about? It was very difficult. I was questioning and criticizing everything including my participation in this GJF.

I have so much to learn.
I know rudimentary basics about feasting, and I know nothing about blogging. And I know even less about giving and receiving support through the internet... this is all very strange.
Any and all suggestions as I embark on this journey with you over the next few days would be much appreciated.

I simply cannot believe I am into this 4 days! When I started I had no idea I had so little faith in myself. As I have gone through each day I have realized that subconsciously I didn't think I could do it. i think that is rather odd. I also know that if we believe something subconsciously, it usually works itself out that way. So why am I still at it if my subconscious didn't think I would make it? I think it has to do with the global nature of this and the belief system changing as I hear of s…

Chanca piedra strikes again. I stopped taking it for several days. I took it last night and woke up this morning going through a cleansing reaction. It looks like my liver has stored toxins that I must get out. However, I am extremely sensitive to these toxins once released. I have been this way for many years. Eating any animal products, for instance, is completely out of the question. Drinking coffee is completely out of the question. I drop into a cleansing reaction or healing crisis quite sp…

Somehow my mindset has to change regarding the end of the JF. OK, so I'm only halfway in but still.
I'm not tempted to eat, but I'm still craving stuff. And I'm thinking "well after the JF, when the time is right, I will eat [fill in the blank]".
I get cravings for chow mein or pizza.
It got a bit better cause recently I'm thinking of putting whole sauteed, buttered baby bok choys in my mouth.
Oh the savory, saucy, half-soggy-half-crunchiness!

Another Amazing day on this Juicing Adventure. It’s been a terrific day – productive in-schools and afterschools, and my friend Dolores gave my name to a friend who runs a holistic center in Queens who is interested in doing something together. The momentum is building and I don’t even have to do much at all! I am so grateful.

My First Negative Thoughts
It was a busy day here, so I needed to make all my juice at once, which I hadn't been doing. I made celery-spinach-chard-pear; pure pineapple; and pure orange. I made four quarts to go and had an additional quart while I was preparing the juice.
By evening, drinking my last quart, I was sick of juice. I considered quitting momentarily, but my mother and son, with whom I was having "dinner" (undoubtedly part of the reason I wanted to eat!) teased me enough to r…

Officially the longest time i have ever gone without solid food. I've done lots of 2 day fasts, but I've never gone the distance (hahaha) before to make it to 3. How absurd that will sound in 89 days!!!!
Before I tell how today went, I have to write about an awesome juice I had last night after I had already blogged. I don't usually drink savory juices (as compared to sweet), so I wasn't sure if I would like it. It was ugly too, but delicious: tomatoes, a thin slice of onion, an orange pepper,…

My bowels eventually got back to normal at the end of day 3, after the runs created by having the Cascara Sagrada. They have been a bit sluggish to start with though.
Food wise I found the closer I got to having normal food, the more I was tempted to hurry the process. I admit I did get a bit ahead of myself now and again on the feast breaking. I had a handful of sprouts on day 4, which I shouldn't have been eating till day 5. I also had a buckwheat cracker on day 5. The urge to try anything an…

I’m feeling great tonight. I picked more of those tart oranges from the trees on the campus that I worked. I only got about 10 lbs as I ran out of time. I had an hour and a half break earlier, but opted to go to a nearby park to sit in the Sun while I chanted
mantra.
The days accumulate fast. The 44th day and this is after “dropping the ball” on the 18th day of my last attempt. I’m well into this one b…

Surprisingly uneventful. I keep waiting for something to happen. No hunger yet, but I have had cravings. My husband is watching to see how it goes before he begins a juice feast, so that salad he had today looked mighty good. And the bananas! I'm not even a big fan of bananas, but they sure looked good! I know some of you have mentioned them in your juices, but that sounds a little non-juicy to me. I don't like smoothies with bananas in them either, so that doesn't appeal to me.

Tuesday, April 29, 2008 – DAY NINE
And Six Months 100% Raw today!
Well, quite a day and not over yet. Another harrowing subway ride, being uncomfortable with having to pee. Very grateful for the car service the next two mornings!
Day Nine, and I’ve settled into a routine now. It seems the most natural thing in the world to be juicing, although the watermelon was calling to me as I was juicing it. I will be having a major fruit festival at the conclusion of my juice feast, that is for sure. I…

I Love Blooming Ocotillo!
Juice Feast Day 59
The Daily Juice Journal:
This morning we made 6 quarts of GVJ with cucumber, celery, romaine, lemon, carrots, and apple. That was it! A very low day in produce, and a day for chores in Tucson. While in the city we also got…
