Day of Enlightment

I had such a wonderful realization yesterday. I was a bit out of balance yesterday because of the quart of OJ that I drank the night before. I only brought one quart of green juice with me to work and I finished that off by 11am. I found myself being very hungry and having some blood sugar issues around noon. I found out I needed to stay later at work than I had planned and I wasn't able to run home to pick up another juice. I made a very conscious decision to eat something so that I could make it comfortably through the rest of the work day. I shared some food with a friend and I had some vegetables and noodles. My blood sugar balanced out and I was able to make it through the rest of the day.

Here is the incredible part; I used to be an all or nothing person. In the past I would have had the thought of, " Oh great, I just blew it" and then would eat a pizza and a chocolate bar. In the past I would have used this 'stumbling block' as a reason to sabotage my efforts at becoming healthier and happier. The difference is that this time I made a very balanced decision and I didn't beat myself up over it. I still drank another quart of juice when I returned home ( I did munch on some carrots later that night )and I knew that this was just part of my journey.

Here's what I learned from yesterday;
1. Fruit juice alone is not balancing for me at this time.
2. Always bring at least 2 quarts of juice to work.
3. I truly want to be the healthiest, happiest me that I can be.
4. Self Sabotage no longer serves any purpose for me.
5. If you run into a bump in the road, acknowledge it and move forward.
6. I love myself! I love myself enough to let go of being an all or nothing person.
7. I will let my body tell me what my juice feasting journey will entail, and I will listen.

For those of you who know me, you know this is a huge transformation.

I will not be starting over, instead I am continuing. I believe that day 4 was the most important day on my juice feasting journey and that it should not be deleted. I am continuing with day 5 and I am so grateful for the changes that have already taken place. This is truly a life transforming journey and I am honored to be a part of it.

Many Blessings,
Susan
