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
