So, despite getting my enema kit in the mail yesterday, I haven't attempted one yet. I think I will soon, but I don't have any coconut oil. In other TMI/BM related news, all my bm's today have smelled like roast turkey. Weird, no? This morning I tried to drink a green smoothie instead of a green juice, but it had way too much spinach pulp to be tasty. It was much better after I strained it for the juice alone. It was spinach/celery/apple/lemon. Yum yum! Right now, I'm drinking tea. Here's a gr… Continue

I started today with a quart of gross green juice. It sounded nice in theory, but it didn't settle in my tummy (or on my tastebuds) very well. It was spinach/celery/cucumber/orange juice. At lunch, I ate. I actually ate. I was on a tour of a power plant for school, and they fed us lunch. They had a great spread of fresh fruits and veggies, so I went for those, and then, after much deliberation, I decided to eat one of the sandwich quarters that were there, too. It was tomato, onion, lettuce, pe… Continue

I'm working on my last quart of juice for today, and I have to say that today has been a rollercoaster of emotions. It's nuts! This morning, I woke up feeling a little groggy, but I was energized immediately after skin brushing (got to love it). I made a great green juice, and I was in a great mood all morning. Around lunch time, I decided to get crazy and make a straight fruit juice, which I haven't done up until this point. Oranges were on sale at the store the other day, and I'd been excited… Continue

Today I write this as I'm slurping down my last juice of the day. And by slurping, I really mean gagging. I decided I would do the "modified" part of my juice feast after working out today, which meant a green smoothie. It was just kale/banana/water, but then I decided to add spirulina and hemp oil to it. For some reason, it made me want to hurl. So, I squeezed the juice out of it, and added it to the green juice I had left to drink (beautiful green juice, might I add). Now it's all pretty gross… Continue

Creative title, huh? Today, like yesterday, I didn't get my full gallon of juice in. I think part of the problem is only having pint sized jars for my juice. Here's what I had: 16 oz. Spinach/celery/cucumber/lemon juice 24 - 30 oz. Chard/mango/lime juice 32 oz. Carrot/apple/celery/cucumber/ginger with some spirulina powder (that clumped at the bottom of my jar, and I got a mouthful at the end of the juice) Lots of water -- at least a quart or two. I have some carrot/apple/celery/cucumber/ging… Continue

I wasn't prepared for this feast today, so it has been more of a fast than a feast today. Today, I did some cleaning in my room, and I went to the store to get some juice feasting supplies. Since I walk everywhere, and share a kitchen with 4 other people, I did not get enough produce to last a week. I think my main exercise will be walking to and from the grocery store every day or every other day. My main concern with this is not being able to use organic produce (or find a good variety of gree… Continue
