Day 56

I weighed myself yesterday and I was 125 pounds. That’s what I weighed around 3 weeks ago, so my I haven’t lost anything in at least 3 weeks. That’s about 5 lbs lighter than when I started. I was about 130 lbs on March 18. Again, I’m almost tempted to call this day 74 as I’ve been on juice for 74 of the past 76 days having eaten on the 18th day of the first attempt and then starting again 2 days later.

I slept about a half hour last night finally falling asleep around 6:15 AM. Often I’m just not tired at night and sometimes don’t sleep until around 4:30 or 5 AM. Usually, I pass out soon after the head hits the pillow, but last night was another story which I will not go into now for certain reasons.

I napped at around 5 PM until around 6:30 instead of doing the bike ride and don’t feel too bad. I was going to go into work now, but opted to call it a very early night as tomorrow will be another very early day.

I defrosted the refrigerator today since produce got very low. It’s a great machine and I don’t have to put it past 1 or even that to chill everything, but it’s about 50 years old, so it needs to be defrosted periodically. Everything in this house is old which is so cool.

Speaking of that, it’s been chilly here in Los Angeles, which I’m not actually so fond of. Give me heat. At any rate, this big old house stays so cool. I took two hot showers today and I may take a third before I go back to bed.

I’m feeling pretty good right now despite still being a bit bleary eyed. The tongue is not very coated, only slightly. I probably could end this thing right now being that I have been on juice for 74 of the last 76 days and I am “technically” 13% below body weight, but that’s not quite correct. Body weight formulas are strictly ballpark figures and I’ve spent much of my “raw” life around this weight. It’s my “fighting” weight as it were. I do intend to hit the iron very intensely in coming weeks and maybe put on around 5 pounds of lean muscle.

But as far as ending this now, I don’t think I will. I want to push this to another level. I want to get really clean and really in tune, spiritually and otherwise. This has already happened to a certain extent. My thoughts have changed a bit. Certain thoughts of even 3 or 4 weeks are alien to me now and thank God for that. In fact one or two things, I can’t believe I even thought them. Thoughts are things and I’d better be careful about that. Thoughts structure or unstructure our own water, affect our DNA and affect the entire world. We had better be careful. It’s difficult, because we have to think this stuff, the thoughts being put out by others I mean, some being good yet others not so good. This is a part of nutrition too.

I had a lot of root vegetables today and actually at the moment, I don’t want to even look at another root vegetable. I’ll be glad tomorrow to get back to some fruit juices.

I do like spirulina. I think it improves the taste of the juices I add it to. But right now, I feel almost ODed on nutrition. Talk about nutrient dense! If I do have any juice later, it will be a light green juice.

Today I had:

2 quarts carrot/broccoli with spirulina
2 quarts yam/spinach with spirulina

Yay for you! I am still going strong too and my weight loss has plateaued as well. Since I was heavy when I started this feast (nearly 180) I feel blessed to now be around 145n now. I still have about 15 - 20 lbs. to release, so I am hoping to push through to 100 days. I think I need to crank up my exercise to burn more. Yoga and a little rebounding is all I really do. So are you thinking of going a few more more weeks?

wowwww...you can not sleep or you are too energized or..? Doesn't seem to pose a prob for you. I know I'd be nuts if I fell asleep this late..or shall I say early...

I'll be going for a few more weeks at least.

Sometimes I'm too energized to sleep. Most of the time I fall asleep right away though.
