Juice Feast-Day 33

Emotional Fits & Starts

Today was weird. One minute I was crying and the next minute I was dancing around with my Ipod feeling on top of the world. The crying was a nice release for me (the dancing, too). Very cleansing. I really needed it! By the end of the day I felt exhausted. I hope it happens again.

Major Water Retention

I feel swollen and puffy today, like a pig (no offense to my porcine brethren). It feels like every drop of fluid that I'm taking in is staying in. I'm peeing a lot though, so I don't really get it. I've had so many wonderful "slim & trim" days lately, that today having some water retention makes everything feel extra jiggly. Ugh...It's not my favorite. Still, I honor the process of this feast, and I'm grateful for whatever happens to me each day. I trust that my body knows what it need to do. I wonder if it's resting and regrouping for the next 1/3 of the journey.

Sleep & dreams: 8 hrs. I didn't wake up very rested today, even though I slept 8 hrs. I remember a partial dream. My husband and I were driving down the road. He said he was lost and almost simultaneously, I realized we had driven over a cliff. Now we were plummeting down through the tops of some very tall pine trees. As the car flipped over I remember thinking how tall the pine trees looked. I couldn't see the ground beneath them because they were so tall, and thought to myself it's going to seem like forever before impact. I experienced the continuous sensation of falling head first. I remember closing my eyes to wait for the impact and wondering if I would die instantly, or if I would feel anything at all. I became lucid at this point and stayed with the feeling of falling for a few seconds. Then I got scared and woke myself up. I think I was afraid of what would happen if I stayed with the feeling...

Exercise: no

Sauna: no

Energy: Like a faucet. Sometimes a trickle, other times full blast.
