A GOOD DAY INSPITE OF IT ALL
Last night I made a Pico de Gallo juice from a recipe I found on Penni Shelton's blog....but I substitued leek for onion...and I have a word of advice. Don't. The leek is contrary to what I was thinking at the time, way too strong, esp if you get some of the really green parts in there...strong and bitter or something....I made 2 quarts and I couldn't drink it. So I had a quart of tangerine/orange juice today, and then went out and bought 16 oz of green juice with beet and apple in it, then after work I bought some fresh tangerine juice at Whole Foods...I was in a hurry and didn't want to wait for juice to be made, plus this was less expensive....and they gave me 2 free ones. (16 oz) so I bought 2 and got 2 free. I drank two of them, but for some reason the first one gave me so much phlegm, it was very frustrating as I was at chorus rehearsal and could not sing as my throat was all clogged up with phlegm. Bah!
It got better,and I drank a second 16 oz on the way home....no phlegm this time...my body is so wierd. The candida gives me tons of phlegm....so annoying. So...I am debating what to do...it's late 10:30 pm,...feeling a touch hungry but I don't want to drink more juice.....at least not more sweet juice, and I am not going to make juice....guess I will just go to sleep.
I think I have figured out part of the reason I have been feeling so tired and out of it....I have been taking lots of stevia.....lots and lots...I will take 2 whole dropperfuls in straight in my mouth. It does kill off candida....and when I do lots of it, I notice a fatigue from it. So...backing off on that.....and trying to keep it together at work. Today was a fairly good day, but I get a bit paranoid as I am worried I am making mistakes, forgetting things......and I am, a bit...trying to compensate.....can't make mistakes with my job.....so...a bit stressful...but not too.....doing okay. Really feel like I am getting into this juice feast. Need to get up early to juice tomorrow as since I had chorus rehearsal tonight I got home too late to make any ahead.
So.....to all of you who are thinking about doing a juice feast....do it! And to those who are currently juice feasting.....stick with it.....I have moments everyday where I want to have something that is not juice...and I just don't.
I don't give in, as I so very much want the total transformation that a long juice feast brings. I want that gift and I am going to work hard to attain it and I hope you all hang in there too....let's inspire each other.
Ciao bellas!

- I use the Wisdom of the Ancients....it's not the stevia....it's taking so much of it. I have backed off and feel better....less tired, more clear headed.
