A Day of firsts.

Monday was day one of my juice feast and day one of this blog. I had planned to start the Global juice feast on 3/1/08, but God had different plans for me. Sunday night I had such vivid dreams about me trying to find food and being handed juices instead. I was even handed this dark purple brew with gold stars in it. When I woke up Monday morning I knew what I had to do.

I woke up late so I went all day without juice I just had water and some Vitamineral green. I ordered my mason jars online so I'm using polycarbonate bottles until they arrive, ( I know, I know ) I just wasn't prepared. I finally began juicing around 7pm and learned real quickly that I need an apron and a few paint straining bags ( as they are bigger than my little nut milk bag ).

Every juice I made was only about 28 oz instead of 32 oz. I suppose I will perfect that as the time goes on. I am going to make all of my juices at night instead of in the morning, it just works better for me.

I had very vivid wild dreams last night, but all had a personal meaning to me. I feel great today! I do have a white coated tongue already and used my tongue scraper this am. I started skin brushing this am too. When I started it I realized that I'm not really sure on the proper way to skin brush, I had heard long stroked towards the heart and I had heard small circles. I stuck with long strokes it just felt right.

I ordered a bathtub filter and I still need to get a shower filter so that I'm not contaminating my body with Chlorine while I'm trying to detox. I have a special friend who will be coming to visit soon and hopefully he will be able to put all of my filters on for me :).

So, that's how my first day went. I'm feeling good and I'm excited for this journey.

Many Blessings,
S.M.
