Day 8
A day of remembrance
A rainy, cold day here on 9/11, fitting as I reflect on all the lives changed forever on this day. Rockaway lost a lot of people in 9/11 – firefighters and others.
It’s been a reflective day for mys...

Dear Readers,
Today for the first time in months I went to yoga class and want to practice yoga every day like I used to for almost a year. It was upsetting to see how much flexibility I’ve lost, but I know it will quickly ret...
Hang in there, it gets easier and more routine as you continue. I've moved so many times, but never while juicing - it should make things less stressful though. Lots of greens!
is this your first juice feast?
you are 1 day ahead.
i am feeling much less overwhelmed today , my 5th.
but i always am in the morning.. it is definitely becoming easier and more routine. thanks for your comment
Hi, Arianna - Thanks for befriending me! I'm sorry we didn't connect at Raw Spirit, too; I was just there for the day (that very hot Saturday) -- I wish I could have stayed longer. Are you in NYC? We should get together. -- Victoria
Ohhh those are also classic lines from that movie..."an actor not a river!!!" Whats funnier than that?
As for the feast/fast..its funny because even without reading anything about different ways to fast..I thought I would juice one day per week..and eat very light on the surrounding 2 days...sort of ease into it and out of it..and now you tell me this is what the experts reccomend...I think I will do just that! I do find that on the raw plan its very easy to over eat...and not with carrots or celery..the chocolate/nut factor can do me in very easily..I discovered tamari almonds and i could eat a pound at a time...and there is NO end to the chocolate factor....additionally I run, and aside from my yoga practice, I am a gym rat...so with all the activity, I have the appetite of a football player !!! Dont want to look like one though :) Thanks for everything Arianna ! Peace
By the way..I was looking at your page, and the list of favorite movies...I have to tell you there is something bigger than us going on here...my favorite movie of all time is "My Favorite Year", and i have never met anyone who even knew what the movie was, no less to see it on a list of favs!!! I have the movie on DVD, and I STILL crack up everytime I watch it...the wedding dress on the aunt(and the comment she makes about it) when she comes to dinner to meet Alan Swan...omg!! I am laughing just thinking about it!!!
I would absolutely NOT miss the saturday goodies...I fell off the cleanse the same day I tried to start it...I definately wasnt ready..but I am eating very little..mostly juicing, and trying new smoothies...cant wait for sat! Congrads by the way for making it through a holiday on a fast..I am very impressed!
youre so welcome! i used to be so ashamed to talk about any of my binging and it wasnt until i started talking about it that i started to heal; its truly so important :)
thanks! i hope prunes are as yummy as i remember them, haha!
Each day I say no food just juice today & I fail... This morning I woke meditated journaled all about it cleared it felt resolved & got up & found a bowl of oatmeal waiting for me made by Pansy with all these beautiful nuts & seeds in it - I ate it - so now my mind is saying OK just juice for the rest of this day & nite & try again tommorrow... I do not know how to access the will to not feed myself with food... to abstain - what is the hold on me - what is such a big deal - there is always another opportunity to eat later... how does this one huge issue permeate the rest of my life??? Asking questions is good - hearing the answers..... LIVING LIFE! any thoughts of aide?

most days, i mix it in juice or a smoothie. but i often spoon it into a couple of leaves of romaine lettuce, roll and eat. a terrific combination. (no gagging required.)

Come on London Town!
Anyone out there in London or indeed the UK on a Juice-Feast or getting ready to start one?
The time is nigh.....MARCH 1st. This is a safe space to learn,encourage,grow and support one-another on your Juice-feasting journeys.
the story alicibia told is basically mine. I was wondering what steps you've taken to overcome. I feel obsessed with healthy food. How do you gain control? I just need to start feasting and let the cleansing work its magic
