Today is day number nine! I have got to do better today, because yesterday I know I didn't have enough juice. I should have had at least a gallon, which is 128 oz. and yesterdays number was around 90 or so ounces. The rule of thumb is a gallon minimum per day, unless you workout. I wasn't hungry and don't feel any different today, but I want to make sure I get enough nutrients to continue a proper cleanse. Today after work I did a light workout for about 45 minutes, which included cardio and weights. Not exercising for about 4 days or so felt like a fresh start today, maybe sometimes the body just needs a rest and when you go back to it, it feels greater!
Well so far today has consisted of :
* 6:15 am - 24 oz of water
* 8:30 am - 24 oz of orange juice ( 8 oranges)
* 12:15 pm - 24 oz of beet, carrot and cucumber juice
* 2:15 pm - 20 oz of canteloupe juice
* YMCA workout
* 4:30 pm - 22 oz of carrot, green onion, green bell pepper and tomato juice
I will have more water and juice for the evening, because its still early yet! Will update this evening or in the morning.

Oooooh the detox symptoms! Day 7
Today is a day of detox, well at least this 1st half of the day anyway. Oh man I am getting toxins out this is great!! So far having slight headache, neck and shoulder tightness and some sinus drainage again. Feeling a little tired, but I will feel better later.
So far this morning I have had 24 oz of water and about 8:30am I had some wonderful canteloupe juice (you gotta try this!)
Other than the previous detox symptoms I had some other bathroom symptoms, not for the queasy! LOL
If you want more info on that send me your email address. Well gotta go back to work, more info on the day later.
Okay I am back and now for more info. Today I was suppose to run, since I haven't ran for the past 3 days and now today makes four. My body was letting me know it needed rest, stomach felt a little uneasy and earlier today my elimination smelled metallic, yes like metal. That was so weird! Throughout the day I had this kinda foggy headache and I was sleepy or just kinda out of it. It's amazing what the body can get rid of when it's allowed to do what it is supposed to do.
Today included:
6:00 am - 24 oz of water
8:30 am - 24 oz canteloupe juice (1 3/4 melons)
12:00 pm - 24 oz orange juice (7 oranges)
1:30 pm - 24 oz water
3:00 pm - 24 oz juice ( 2 lbs carrots, 1 lg cucumber, 1 fuji apple)
5:45 pm - 24 oz juice ( 2 lbs carrots, 1 green bell pepper, 2 tomatoes)
7:00 pm - 28 oz juice (3-4 green onions, 1 lb carrots, celery, 2 tomatoes, 2 lettuce leaves, kale)
This last juice I ate it as if it was soup in a bowl with a spoon!

6th day of JUICE
So it is now Sunday and all is well. I had a pretty good night sleep considering all the sinus drainage that was going on. I didn't take anything to stop it, because I want to get all the bad stuff out. Some drainage today, but under control. Meaning I didn't have tissue stuck in my nostrils, LOL!
So anyway today we went to hang out with friends after church and yes me and my juice attended with happiness. I love hanging out and loving on friends and I am finding that yes when people get together that is what we do - eat! Why?, because our bodies need food. The discipline and self-control are definitely being developed at this time. Most of what I see people eat I wouldn't eat anyway, but those around me are chewing and I am sipping or gulping. It seems to be all in the mind, because I am not hungry as I am juicing, but it's just a thing of not chewing. My reasons for juicing have to be recited throughout the day and then I am fine! Anything worth doing is not going to be easy, but in the end I will achieve the desired results and will be so proud of myself for not quitting! I can do it! I can do it! I can do it!
Today I had:
24 oz of water
24 oz of canteloupe juice ( loving it!!!!)
28 oz of orange juice
24 oz of carrot-apple juice
12 oz of carrot-beet-celery juice
12 oz of orange juice with wheatgrass powder
I will have more water and my supplements for the evening.

What is Juice Feasting?
From much research on the internet, this is the information I have found. Be sure to do your own research and check with your doctor. I do this by my choice! :)
Juice feasting involves having fresh raw vegetables and fruit juices for as many days as you choose, some do it for 30 days, some 60 days, and some 92-100 days. It is a FEAST and not a fast because you can get ALL the calories you would normally get in a day. It is recommended to have a minimum of 1 gallon per day. You will feel massive cleansing on a cellular level. AWESOME!!!
Some benefits of juice feasting:
* radiant skin, a healthy glow
* healing of illnesses
* detoxing of the whole body
This is great news, I read that you can go back in time about 120 days for each day of Juice Feasting.
And you wonder why I do what I do! LOL Health is just my passion and I love the knowledge of health.
We are all passionate about different things, what's your passion?
The Juice of the day:
* 5:00 am - 16 oz of water
* 6:15 am - 24 oz juice (1 lb carrots, 1 spinach bunch, 1/2 head of romaine lettuce, 4-5 celery stalks, and 2 oranges)
* 9:15 am - 24 oz juice (6 oranges, 1 grapefruit)
* 1:00 pm - 20 oz juice (2 lbs carrots, 1 lg cucumber, 1 pear)
* 4:00 pm - 18 oz juice (2 lbs carrots, 5 celery stalks, 1 small beet, 1 pear)
* 6:45 pm - 24 oz juice (5 1/2 oranges, 1 grapefruit)
If I have anything else for this day I will have a watermelon juice about 25 oz., might be hungry in a little, since I have been moving furniture around for a couple of hours! My energy level is great today!

6:55 am - 4 oz of water
7:10 am - 12 oz of water
10: 15 am - 24 oz Juice (1/4 lg.watermelon)
12:20 pm - 12 oz. of water

3:30 pm - 12 oz of water

6:00 pm - 8 oz of water
7:15 pm - RUN 3 miles
8:00 pm - 12 oz of water
8:20 pm - 18 oz Juice (4 oranges, 1 grapefruit)
I felt great during my run today, not too winded, it was nice! While at work today when I was bored I felt like I should eat something, but I wasn't hungry! This is an area I am noticing in my life and want to take control of it. Food is for my nourishment not entertainment. All social events seem to be surrounded by food and lots of it as if it was the end of the world sometimes and I want to be in control of what I eat and when I eat. When I get bored I must find other things to do, such as read, write or blog, just be creative with my time in art that I love so much! This juice feast is going to help me see many things about me and I am ready to be a better me. I plan to grow mentally and spiritually as well.
