Greetings to all my friends and future friends,
I have been absent from the juice feasting community for quite a while, however, it was not by choice. On January 17th, 2009, I was rushed to the hospital after having suffered a stroke. The stroke effected my left side and I spent three months in a medical and rehabilitation care center. With daily therapy I went from a wheelchair, to a walker, to now, a four point cane. The next step is to walk on my own. I believe juice feasting and maintaining…

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 4 and I was having some wild dreams last night. Stuff that I had tucked away and refused to deal with in life is surfacing in my dreams. I awakened this morning with a feeling of shame and embarrassment from what was happening in my dream. The message to me means I must deal with my stuff, no matter how uncomfortable I feel about it. My eating is so tied into my emotions, even on raw food I have to stay focused. I also have some challenges that can be quite overwhelming yet…

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…

Hi to all my juice feasting friends,
After completing 92 days in June, 2008, I am so ready to start juice feasting again. I have been dedicated to a 100% raw vegan diet and really proud of myself for totally sticking to it for the past two years. I do have a confession to make. I have let an old habit of overeating creep back in. I have been eating more than my share of nuts and seeds. It may be the stress of the holidays or the chilly weather that may have been the trigger. I am not sure what,…

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…
