I had a challenging night last night. Had a very difficult time getting to sleep - and did not sleep soundly. I got a late start drinking the juices, as I didn't start making them until 8 AM today - and it took me over 2 hours. BUT - I made 6 1/2 quarts! That's five for me, and 1 1/2 for the hubby. Juice for the Day: 3 1/2 quarts: a nice savory juice containing baby Romaine lettuce, celery, lemon, tomato, broccoli stalks and carrots. I seasoned it lightly with a touch of apple cider vinegar… Continue

I'm a bit confused as to whether to post a blog here, or in the Green Room - I guess this is the hot spot right now - so I'll switch over here.

We worked in the yard for several hours - and then I did some work updating my website for my massage business. I also didn't space my juices out well. I had had 2 quarts by… Continue

Above is a link to all the juicy details, on my public blog. Suffice it to say that I'm on my way! I've been drinking a lot of raw juices ever since I did the annual juice feast last year - so it doesn't feel like a big transition. My eye is still healing, so that's a big motivator to really be true to myself. Also, because during the recovery phase I had to keep my head down pretty much 24/7, I was told that could increase the risk of cataracts… Continue

I've been looking forward for months to beginning the 2nd annual global juice feast. Due to personal circumstances, I've decided to begin my personal feast today. I had eye surgery on February 5th, for that macular pucker issue I mentioned months ago. Prior to the surgery, I incorporated lots of juices and raw foods. During the recovery, I did the same - though I was a bit hampered by the fact that I had to remain face down pretty much 24/7 - and my husband had to prepare my juices. When I saw… Continue
