Today I enjoyed-
1qt cantaloupe juice
1pt grape, celery, cucumber juice
1qt orange juice, coconut water blended with ice
msm, bee pollan
I'm still having trouble drinking enough juice and I didn't drink my green juice today. I did great all day, but in the evening I really struggled...I'm still hearing the faint calls of my homemade pizza, now chillin in the fridge!
I still cook a lot for my family and usually it's not that hard. Tonight I made homemade pizza with spelt foccacia (sp?) crust, homemade vegan pesto, and lots of garden veggies. And sun dried tomatoes. Yum. I made this last week and had no problem resisting, but I have been struggling tonight! I drank my juice outside while my family ate, which was a nice break....but throwing away the left overs off my kids plates was hard!! I normally would have eaten there left overs, no matter how full I was. So I don't think I'll be making pizza again while fasting. I did start my period tonight, so maybe that has something to do with this sudden short sited weakness!? So I'm off to clean the kitchen and then to bed!

It's late & I'm tired so this is going to be brief:)
Today I enjoyed-
1qt cantaloupe juice
1c coffee
1 pint grape, cucumber, celery juice
1 pint apple, cucumber, chard, lettuce, zucchini juice
It was hot again, so didn't drink as much juice. Feeling good, rested during the day & in the mood to 'organize' tonight:)

DAY 6
Hot day today! We ended up spending half the day at the beach and although I did feel a little hungry, I didn't drink as much as normal today. I think it was so hot that water sounded better then juice:)
Today I enjoyed-
1qt cantaloupe juice
1qt orange juice & coconut water blended with ice
1 pint green juice
msm, 1tsp 'superfoods' green powder, bee pollen
It's getting late but I think I'm going to do a mud mask, dry brush, take a shower and oil up my slightly sunburned skin before bed. Hurray for another good day!

Dry Skin Brushing
I recently started dry brushing and I LOVE it. At first I wasn't so sure it was doing much, but after about a week my skin felt softer and my 'problem areas' like my upper arms which are always bumpy, were smooth!!
It is best to do it first thing in the morning before a shower and put on body oil after ( I use Aura Glow or coconut oil), it also makes me feel more awake, like it wakes up my whole body. I bought my brush at whole foods for $6 or so. Here is a general video on how to do it, there are lots of videos and websites on it if you want more info:)

Day 4 & Day 5
Day 4-
Yesterday I enjoyed-
1qt melon juice
1 coffee
1c veggie broth
1qt cucumber, apple, celery, chard, celery, lettuce juice
1qt same juice
msm, spirulina, b-complex
Dry brushed, netti pot, saline enema. Felt ok today, but I was busy and my mind was a bit out there, very forgetful. I had a bad sinus headache, but my husband gave me a message and it went away! yay! I resisted yummy Mexican food tonight that my family ate:) My hunger is pretty much gone, and the mental hunger has not been to strong.
Day 5-
I enjoyed:
1qt cantaloupe juice
1qt green juice
1qt orange juice & coconut water blended with ice and vanilla extract
This morning I broke our French Press, so no coffee today. Maybe it's a sign:) It is the 3rd one I've broken! I also napped for 3 hours with my 2yo, so I drank less then usual. It was nice:) Now I'm staying up late cooking for my family since it's been so hot during the day...baked yams, making spelt bread, and maybe some zucchini bread. Surprisingly, it's not that hard to cook and not eat it, as long as I don't taste it I'm good:) Felt pretty good today, a bit grouchy in the evening.

Day 3
Today went ok, I felt the need to rest a lot and luckily my husband was off work today and my mom is in town so I was able to take a nap with my 2yo:) I also was able to dry brush, used the netti pot and a saline enema today...
Today I enjoyed:
1qt cantaloupe juice (yum)
1c coffee
1qt pineapple, cucumber, celery, kale, cilantro
1.5 qt apple, cucumber, celery, cilantro, chard
1.5 qt veggie broth
spirulina, msm
I made a pot of veggie stew, it was very yummy ans I was able to use lots of veggies from my garden...peas, zucchini, chard, herbs, broccoli and potatoes. I enjoyed drinking it, but it did make me feel a little hungry. Not sure if I'll drink broth much more, but I am about to harvest lots of cabbage, so we'll see.

Day 2
I didn't get on line last night, I went to sleep with my kids:) But here is how yesterday went...
I enjoyed:
1qt water w/lemon
1quart melon juice (I think it was called a 'Santa clause' melon , sooo good!)
1c coffee
1qt pineapple, lettuce, cucumber, celery juice
lots o water
1qt cucumber, carrot, beet, apple, lettuce juice
1qt chard, celery, cucumber, apple, cilantro
bee pollen, msm, 2tbs flax oil, spirulina
I dry brushed in the morning and oiled up:) We went to the beach and on a short walk through a beautiful eucalyptus forest. I stretched and meditated a little on the beach while my family played in the waves. I didn't drink much while I was out only because I have to pee like every 20 minutes:) I felt really good all day, which was a surprise on day 2, but in the late afternoon my energy left and I felt the need to rest. It took me a long time to fall asleep but just laying there felt nice. I was craving fats in the evening (like nut butter or avo) but had a couple tsp of cinnamon flax oil and it actually helped! Overall today went great!
