Day 4 - Happy Labor Day!
September 7, 2009
Dear Readers,
Day 4 of my fall juice feast. It’s been about six months since my last feast, and today I want to write down my goals and intentions for this feast. I can feel a lot of ‘raw emotions’ coming up already and want to give myself every support I possibly can.
My reasons for doing a feast at this time:
1. To lose the excess weight I’ve gained over the past year
2. To get back into my regular exercise program of yoga and cardio
3. To take this ‘time out from food’ time to really delve deeply into the psychological beliefs and habits that have caused me to stress eat and emotionally eat and to heal these wounds
4. to clear my body and mind of accumulated toxins so that I can deal with upcoming challenges with equanimity and calm
5. to renew my commitment to raw foods lifestyle
6. to look good for my nephews bar mitzvah on October 10th
7. to improve my eyesight
8. to transition OUT of the feast without overeating or gaining back weight
9. to sit with, look at and heal feelings of loneliness, isolation, restlessness, relationship issues with self and others
10. to treat myself with self-respect.
11. To use this at-home time to make juices, take care of myself and my home
My juices for today:
1. Green juice (celery/cucumber/spinach/fennel/parsley/carrot/algae/hemp oil)
2. orange/grapefruit/lemon
3. Master cleanse
4. strawberry/goji/orange
5. kale/tomato
6. frozen juice pops made from juiced cantaloupe and watermelon
7. cantaloupe
Said goodbye to my boyfriend today who leaves for Florida tomorrow to take care of his mother as she deals with some health issues. We don’t know when he will be back. In some ways it’s good that he won’t be here as I go through some of these transitions on the feast – I don’t wish to burden him with whatever emotional morasses I may encounter. It’s exciting to think about him coming back to a healthier, leaner, sexier girlfriend. It also gives me some time to just take care of myself, to keep the focus on me, and to work through some issues.
I feel at a crossroads right now with work, with personal stuff, with artistic expression – and have been cleaning the house, literally, for this holiday weekend – throwing things out, cleaning, re-arranging – feels good to love my home and fill it with care and intention. I know this is an important part of my process and glad that juicing is giving me the energy to do so.
