Ok, on Day 5!
Started off juice feasting ok til day 2 when had to support a friend's rawfood cafe opening...so w/out torturing myself I went modified that day...tasted her awesome rawking dishes and brought a friend who was what you would call a virgin rawfoodie...and he loved it...said it made him tingle!
Day 3 went along fine...although rested and read a bunch...couldn't get out of driveway to go indoor golfing with hubby, it was so icy we kept sliding and I didn't want to hit our urns and damage the car...so was glad to come right back in and enjoy a down day. Did a teleconference with Matt Monarch at day's end...been totally engaging my mind on all levels so been able to keep fired up!
Day 4 was actually the easiest so far...full day again of juice and just had a minor headache at the end of the eve..although did a ton of reading (been printing out all the GJF stuff), cleaning, and did another tele-conference with Elements For Life....so for headache that didn't want to leave I just drank more warmed tea and ginger - that seemed to soothe it b4 bedtime.
Day 5: Woke up with abundant energy at 4am...let dogs out and have been online ever since...now about to start my day with some yoga and my first drink. Scheduled my first colonic for tomorrow....have a dental apptmt today and plan on going to my husband's office to help his staff pack him up..he's moving to a new office Fri - will see how that goes! LOL They'll probably freak out at my Green Mason Jars too! Seems so natural for me to have one with me...and I do notice more and more I see someone having one of the big mason jars as well when I go to Wild By Nature or some such healthfood store...but the mainstream folk look at ya like you're a freak wondernig whatcha drinking! hee heee heee
Check in with ya later...so thrilled it's going ok for me now...wondering when the shoe might drop, b/c I'm sure it's bound to clobber me one day when I have some emotional issues flair up. Although I have to say when I've watched something on TV that's deep or romantic I well up...so that's the only thing - otherwise I'd say I'm extremely happy and energetic and jazzed up...oh, but truth be known, I was maybe a bit short once with my husband if I say so myself...I suppose b/c I'm feeling mellow and mindful if something is said a bit off in my estimation, I comment on it. If that's being irritable when I was headachey, I'll take it...once he commented that I'm not around as much lately...(being on computer alot!!)....I just reminded him I'm trying to get healthy and ya know what he said? "I think I'll try one of your drinks..I think I'm ready...but I sure hope it tastes better than it looks!" WOW...that's a first...he still eats, well, an incredibily improved SAD (although still clings to his diet coke-yikes but soon that will fall too), no dairy, nothing processed, rawfood infused diet...so that was incredible music to my ears! He's been my guinea pig for a few years now...he lost 180 lbs! Yep, that's right...he was slightly over 400 lbs...he has changed so much and looks fantastic! To listen to him say that was true bliss....I've learned to help him, lead him but he has to want to do it...and I suppose seeing my lead and how it's working is the best thing I can give him. No nagging is going to make anyone do a thing. I found that out years ago. I'm simply doing what works for me and if it wears off, fab. So far it's working! Going to IIN helped me and the ones I love...and for that I am eternally grateful.
So that's a little about me, my hubby and what we're experiencing! ta-ta
Seems today started off with clarity and unbounding energy...let's see how far my gas tank goes ";-)

Oh, the only thing that's bugging me is not being able to put all my pulp scraps into my turning bin composter...it's frozen!
Does anyone else do anything with their pulp? In the past I've made dehydrated crackers outta them...but since I'm not eating it seems too tempting! I guess I could make 'em and freeze 'em...has anyone done that?
Any suggestions? What are you all doing with your pulp from juicing here on the East Coast during the Winter?
