So much has happened in the past few weeks. I had a new office partner start ( Yeah ), we had our annual health dept survey ( and passed, double yeah ) and I switched to a modified juice feast.
My body wants to do a full blown juice feast, but my emotions are not ready for it. With the addition on 2 quarts of green juice daily my whole life is changing. Physically I'm losing weight, albeit slowly. My eyes are becoming greener and my skin is becoming smoother. The other big thing is that I'm having alot of old fears and emotions coming up to be released. Normally I would say this is a good thing ( and ultimately it is), but it is very hard to go through heavy emotions when you don't really have anyone to share your feelings with. My family and closest friends live out of state, so I have been feeling quite alone. Actually, this is one of the biggest emotions that I'm working on releasing and it is also why I switched to a modified juice feast. I really felt like I needed something cooked to ground me ( or push down the emotions ), I guess it all depends on how you look at it.
In the past I have been unavailable to friendships and romantic relationships, this is something I have been working on. I have recently found that some friendships are slowly leaving my life and I have been looking closely at this. I actually took some big steps to try and keep these friendships in my life because afterall, I want to be available for relationships, be it friendships or something more. I have found that no matter what I do or don't do, they are slowly leaving.
These friendships were wonderful and nothing bad happened, just people moving away and moving on. Thank you God for blessing my life with April and Peter, they will forever be in my heart.
Until next time.....

Day 7, What's a parasite to do?
Oh Boy! I am learning so much about me and my body every day. I am having some difficulty with juices that have fruit in them. It's not really blood sugar issues, ( as I check my blood glucose )It's more symptoms from Candida. My eyes get blurry, ( which is my common symptom of candida )I get foggy headed, I lose my energy, I get depressed and I get super hungry. So, I've been figuring out what I can do to modify my JF with keeping as much of the cleasing and rebuilding benefits as possible.
The absolute best option would be to make juices with no fruit in them. The only problem is that I don't like those juices so it would be hard for me to consume what I needed to each day. The second would be to add a tablespoon of raw hemp powder to each juice. This would add the extra protein and some fiber to slow down the absorption on sugars. The third would be to drink one or two green juices a day and then add a green smoothie with fruit for the rest of my intake ( Green smoothies with fruit never seem to exacerbate the candida ).
I will be working on clearing candida out of my body with colon cleasing and herbs. I believe that my body will become clear enough for me to add fruit to my juices at some time in the future, just not right now.
I will be thinking of my options, but for today I am going to be just doing green juices. Who knows, my taste buds might change so much that I may start loving green juices without the fruit. That would be wonderful.
I should mention that I am also PMSing right now, so, that may be why I am having some hunger and depression. It's not bad, I just don't feel like my happy self.
This morning I had 2 heaping tablespoons of Vitamineral green in a pint of water. My green juices for the day will consist of, spinach, celery and red pepper.
I am going to start rebounding today, probably just for a few minutes.
Detox symptoms/PMS symptoms are; some sadness, hunger, some pimples on my face and dry scaly skin my cheeks and a little fatique. I will do an enema today for sure.
I'm still dedicated to the JF, and all in all I think my "bumps in the road" are minor. Until next time.....
Many Blessings,
S.M.

Day 6, Global Juice Feast!!!!
Today is the first day of the first annual Global Juice Feast! I am so excited! I have to admit that I occasionally feel down during the day because, well, 1. I'm not eating, and 2. I don't have anyone to share this experience with. My realization is that I have so many people on the GJF site to share my experience with and who can share their experiences with me. I watched the video " the last supper" from David and Katrina and it almost made me cry. I realized that I'm one of those 255 people from the GJF site who is making history today. I feel really good about that, no, I feel great about that.
So now that I have an extra emotional boost I feel like there's no stopping me.
It is the end of day 6 for me and I have to tell you that juice feasting is so much easier ( on my body ) than fasting. If I start really feeling detox symptoms, I drink more juice and do an enema, WAHLAA!, symptoms gone.
I am starting to get hungry throughout the day, ( which is a good thing, it means I'll consume more juice )but as soon as I drink some more juice, the hunger is gone.
I have a little confession, I don't like celery juice, Bleekk!, YUK!, so I haven't been using it. I started to get some muscle cramps in my legs and I thought, how could this be happening with all of the great juices I'm consuming?. Well, I looked at one of my natural health books and it stated that celery will balance the sodium levels and greens will balance the potassium levels to help combat muscle cramps. In light of that information I will reluctantly add celery back into my daily juices, maybe just one juice a day won't be so bad.
So for detox symtoms I still have a brownish fuzzy tongue, occasional slight headache, some bouts of sadness when I'm hungry and some pimples on my jaw line.
I'm drinking 3 quarts of juice a day and 2 heaping tablespoons of Vitamineral green in a pint of water. Today's blend was apple and Collard green. I drink lots of water throughout the day, infact I'm more thirsty on the feast than before. I suppose my body is washing all of the toxins out with the extra water. I am still taking coconut oil, b12 tab, bee pollen, dulse capsules and some red tea in the evening. I will start taking a fiber and laxative cleanse called colonix. It should really expedite the release of my mucoid plaque in my colon.
I'll start adding some light exercise back into my routine next week. Right now my body is just adjusting to the feast and my schedule with all the juicing that I'm doing.
I'm wearing a pair of pants today that are starting to fall of of me. I have been pulling them back up all day. Hopefully in a couple of weeks I will have to buy a size smaller, WOO HOO!.
All in all the juice feast is going great.
Many Blessings,
Susan
