Juice Fasting Day 4

So, back at work on Monday. I was extremely calm all day - is this because of the juice fast?

8:00 am - Had some juice. Just put in whatever I had - orange, lettuce, spinach, carrot, parsley, etc. Made extra for my thermos.

10:40 am - Drank the whole thermos. uh oh....

1:00 pm - Went to nearby cafe to buy juice. $5 for 24 oz. of beet, cucumber, spinach, ginger and carrots. This was not very good. Plus, the vegetables were not organic. I cursed myself for not buying two thermos at BB&B.... Stopped at Walgreens and bought another thermos. I will now bring two thermos full of juice every day.

5:00 pm - I want some variety!! I put 2 cups of spinach in a blender and poured hot water over it and blended it with garlic and spices. Garlic was soooo strong. I could not handle it. My senses are so heightened, one clove was super strong. I eventually got bored of this spinach broth and blended in 1/2 avocado. I was not too thrilled with this either, so just had some hot water with a organic sodium free bouillon. Every time I make something in the blender, I think, stick to the juicer.

Something made me ultra gaseous today. What was it!! Some people have a very difficult time during a juice fast, but I don't. I hardly had any pains. I am almost on day 5 when I will be 1/5th done. Wow, 25 days sounds like a long time away.... Tomorrow is my first colonic!!!! Must drink more water.

If you have a super strong blender, like the Vitamix, your soups and drinks will be wonderful. It's like what you said about Juicers, the better ones are worth it. Plus all the nutrients you gain by blending vs juicing. Keep up the great work, I'll support you each day=)
