Juice Feast-Day 14

The Gift of Resolve

It came today. The box of resolve I ordered last night. Thank goodness!

I REALLY sat on the fence for a while today, and very nearly threw in the towel. But instead of trying to distract myself or run away from the feelings, I just sat with them. I breathed them in deep and thanked them for what they were teaching me. Then a shift happened and I began to feel an increase sense of resolve. I CAN DO THIS!!!!

Help From Ganesha

Some of my resolve came the form of a dream I had last night last night. I dreamt about the Hindu deity Ganesha,who is widely revered as the Lord of Beginnings and Remover of Obstacles.

In my dream, Ganesha was standing in front me. I recall thinking of him only as the God of Juice Feasting LOL! My entire body was covered in heavy padlocks, and one by one, I unlocked the padlocks from my body and handed them over to him. Umm...wow...no interpretation necessary. Ask and you shall receive! I AM being assisted on this feast! Obstacles are being removed from my path. My body is being unlocked, unchained, set free! This feast is doing wonders for me, and I've got more work to do!

Keep in mind that I have nearly zero knowledge of the Hindu pantheon and dieties. Before my dream I was familiar with the image of Ganesha, but I actually had to look up what he represented this morning after I woke up. I'm feel so grateful to have this assistance! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Needless to say, when the Gods are with you, how can you fail? :)

Green Juice Stinks!

I've been SO hungry today! I think it's because I've been shorting myself on juice for the past few days and it's all catching up with me now. It doesn't seem like I can drink enough of anything (water or juice) to quiet my tummy. All I've heard all day long is growling and gurgling!

The smell of green juice is still bugging me,too. In fact, I've resorted to burning a candle in my kitchen after I juice just to get rid of the "green" smell. Today I was going to go all fruit juice in an effort to restore my appetite for greens. I really think that green juices are the key to this feast though, so instead, I opted to have my greens first in order to get them out of the way. It worked out well. Now if only I could slow down and quit gulping them down just to get them over with :)

Sleep & Dreams: 8 hrs, dreamt about Ganesha, Hindu God of removing obstacles (see above)

Exercise: 1 mile hike with dog

Sauna: 20 minutes

Energy: Good energy, but "on the fence" mentally until mid-afternoon about staying on this feast. I decided I'm all in! :)

Physical Observations: I noticed today that at least for the moment, I have almost zero body odor. No sweaty smell after hiking or sitting in a 230 F sauna for 30 minutes. It's weird, but my breath never smells either. Crazy...

Comments: Whew! I feel like I'm over the hurdle. I really wondered if I was going to make it. I've decided that this feast is my 2008 summer juice Olympics and there's only one way to win the gold---to go the whole distance! Besides, I'm super curious to see what happens both mentally and physically after 92 days of nothing but juicy goodness!
