Hi Everyone,
Sorry I missed a couple of days of posting. I'm feeling much better today. The weather warmed up a little, so it's helping me cope with the chills I've been having. I must confess, I was cooking the other day, because my family is not raw, and without any thought I tasted the food I was cooking. It wasn't until after the fact that I realized what I had done. I actually ate a small amount of cooked food. I had been preparing a new recipe and had no idea how it was going to turn out.…

Hi Everyone,
It's Day 11 and I've been trying to catch up with myself today. My house has been such a mess for a couple of days because it hasn't been a priority, and I have been without a car for two days. The good thing is, My family members seem to be stable at the moment. One of them is out of the hospital and is recovering at home. The other is still in the hospital and my be there for a little while. I think I can now get myself back on track. Today I added my supplements to my juice. I ha…

Hi Everyone,
Life is still stressful right now. I found myself craving solid food today, yet I maintained my determination to juice feast. Spiritually, Juice feasting provides me with a sense of peace and tranquility. I feel that eating now will cause me more stress.
Saturday Day 8
I didn't consume much juice today. I'm still dealing with a family crisis and it has thrown my schedule off a bit. I was still able to make a gallon of juice, however, I was only able to drink 2 quarts of my green ju…

Hi Everyone,
My stress level has been tested to the max. I have had to experience one crisis after another today. The good thing is, I didn't eat. Because I am juice feasting, I did not turn to food for a source of comfort. I am proud of myself for not throwing in the towel.

Hi Everyone,
It's Day 5 and I had to go shopping today. My refrigerator only holds three days worth of produce. The market, where I purchase all my vegetables and fruit has a good selection of organics. I'm not always able to find everything organic, so from time to time i must select something conventional. I'm feeling pretty good today, not that I was feeling bad. I just feel a since of clarity. My skin even feels different. Before the juice feast, I had noticed a little puffiness in my face.…

Hi Everyone,
It's Day 2 and I've gotten through the first 24hrs. My right eye was a little red this morning when I woke up. It's been an off and on problem that I hope to remedy on the JF along with healing from a chronic illness and toning my muscles. I have created a sacred space for myself for spiritual purification and meditation. It is spirit that motivates my Juice Feasting. I labeled my mason jars with mantras so that my juice is empowered with positive vibration. I wonder, is it appropri…

Greetings to all my juice feasting friends,
I haven't visited for a while because I was on vacation. I am still feeling wonderful post juice feasting. Even in my travels I have maintained 100% vegan raw. It has been a challenge at times because, where I was staying, it was not always easy to get fresh vegetables and fruit. You have to drive quite a distance before you reach a market. I stocked myself with dried fruit, nuts and seeds to munch on when needed. It's been 52 days since I completed th…

Hi Everyone,
It's been 6 days since the end of my juice feast. I have been taking it very slow getting back into the world of eating. It was so easy juicing. Now I have to watch myself to make sure I don't overeat. so far I have only been able to drink smoothies and eat fruit. Tonight I will have my first salad. I am going to put the greens in my food processor and chop them until they are fine. My tummy is like a baby's right now, so I am treating it that way.

I awakened this morning in anticipation of creating my sacred space. I had soaked my prunes over night and was now ready to consume the soak water. Before I started, I had to verbally express my whole experience with juice feasting with
my SO (significant other). It added power to my sacred ritual. He has been patient and understanding, even though he was not a part of the juice feast and I love him so much. I had been blogging here with all of you who have been a major support in my accomplishm…

Day 90
All I can say is wow! it is day 90. The past few days have been very emotional. I haven't been able to blog because my attention has been focused inward. I haven't had much to say. For some reason I have been craving silence and solitude. Now that the juice feast is coming to a close, I prepare myself for the reintroduction of solids. I bought my prunes and I have a sacred ritual planned. I don't have a video cam so I won't be able to share my experience visually. I will write in detail…

10 Days to go and prunes are beginning to look really good to me. I 'm starting to get hungry, however, I don't want the feast to end. I have enjoyed the freedom of not eating and restful benefits it has has on my body. This my seem bizarre, however, I've been thinking about it a lot. I am concerned about eating again, due to my past eating disorder, I'm afraid of doing something crazy like bingeing on prunes. I know this is extreme thinking, but I know myself so I am planning ahead
for the end…

Day 78
Watermelon has been on sale and I got 4 medium sized and lived off of just watermelon juice for a few days. Today I'm back on greens again and I love them. Yum!!!
I am at a loss for words these days. I am still in love with juice feasting. it's going to be tough for me when it comes to an end. I feel so clean. I've been in a emotionally good place for the past several days. I think it's because of the juicing
and spiritual work combined. I had a couple of days where I didn't want green j…

Day 70, 71, 72, and 73
I'm feeling great again. I attended a sweat lodge last night and it helped me to resolve a lot of the emotional stuff that has stirred in the last couple of days. If you have never experienced a sweat, I recommend it highly. I have been to a few of the now and it has become a regular practice for me. Being on the juice feast intensifies the experience.

Day 67, 68, and 69
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…

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…

Day 63
I'm feeling much better now. The allergy symptoms I have been having for the last several days have been intense. I have had sinus pain, headache, continuous sneezing, itchy throat, nasal congestion and watery eyes. I have been drinking a tea made with half a lemon, a tsp of raw honey, fresh ginger and a few cloves of garlic in a cup of boiled water. I must have smelled like a garlic field, however, I couldn't tell because I haven't been able to smell for days.

It looks like I am behind again on my blogging. I got Parastroy* today and I will start taking it tomorrow(Day 60). I have been having some intense detox symptoms. Mostly emotional mixed with bursts of euphoria. It's been quite interesting. Yesterday I did not want juice. I only drank water and had some tea. I don't know what was going on, but juice was not on the menu. I still have a rash on my neck it looks as though it is healing. I wonder if it may be uric acid coming…

Day 55
I had a slight headache today. I think it was because I had been in the sun too long today. It gets hot and dry here in Phoenix and you can dehydrate very easily. I noticed that I wasn't urinating as frequently as I had been. Yesterday I was a little off my juice schedule. I only managed to get in 2 quarts of juice. I felt fine, not deprived at all. Today I'm back to normal.
