Happy Leap Year!

Another birthday for my poor father who turned only 17 today. All his children have had more birthdays than him. We were 14 at the same time! We celebrated his birthday tonight at my parents home because he was sick. We had planned to go out for a nice meal and I am glad we didn't go because I would have been asking for a bowl to put my 'soup' in. 

It was a gorgeous day with warmer weather and plenty of sun. I got a lot done and it felt great. I had been feeling bad the last couple of days and realized it was time for an enema. Still feels funny to talk about that. Anyway, I did a coffee one early this morning which kept me going strong all day. I highly suggest them for when you have a lot to get done in one day. You won't lose your drive. I wasn't ever really hungry either so I had to force my juices down a few times. I did feel hungry, however, seeing the three flavored raw ice cream that I made for my dad. He hates cake so I made him what he likes only my style. He loved it. I wanted to love it as I forced back my savory nightly tomatoey green drink. I came home and desired sweetness. I made an apple/strawberry/orange/carrot juice. It was superb. I almost stuck it in the ice cream maker and wondered if it was legal to freeze my juices. Does freezing kill the goodness? I would so love some sorbet. I am going to have to find this out. 

Only one week left of juice. I was really excited for solids again but I had such a good day and was mostly not bothered by being juice only so I am nervous to stop. I feel like I could go longer now. I think when I get back from Italy I will try to get on juice for a little while. I wanted to finish out this feast at 92 days but it doesn't really work with ocean crossing air travel. We'll see how I feel when I get back. I will definitely be a monday and morning juicer. I'm just a bit afraid of the food issues I have had in the past. Luckily I have a friend to talk to for support and this blog, in hopes that people read it! My friend and I are going to hold each other up for this transition back into solids. She may be starting her own blog shortly as well.

Well, a happy leap year to all!, especially my father!

Well, I'm finally back! The internet has been down so I missed a few posts. I think I forget where I am in my juice feast too! Let's see, day 43. Wow. Well, my worst day so far happened this Saturday and boy was I surprised. I woke up feeling like I had the flu. I felt like such a jerk since I had just told a friend the day before that healthy people don't get sick and another friend I told that I felt like super woman and that I was immune to the flu that has been going around. When I woke up I think my foot was gravitating toward my mouth. So, I was at my friends house and I had my lemon water and a juice and thought I was feeling better and then worse so I went back to bed at 11:30 in the morning. I had the chills and woke a few times with the feeling of tingling throughout my torso. After three hours I got up and had a talk with my friend. She had been doing something while I was asleep and suddenly realized that she had an enema bag in her house. She had been doing at home colonics for her feast. She did an enema and felt really great. So when I woke and told her how I thought I was sick she told me that I was just detoxing. How soon we forget! So I had her go get me a bag and I did it and felt so so so much better. I did a coffee enema. I felt so clear and clean and wonderful. I could put my foot back down again. It was a humbling experience.

Sunday was another good day as was today, although I am quite tired and already ready for bed so I'm cutting out.

Cheers!
