Juice Feast-Day 37

My Juicy Olympics

I was watching the U.S. Olympic trials in men's and women's gymnastics this weekend and all of the athletes inspired me to continue my juice feast. Hour after hour, day after day, year after year, these athletes have exercised tireless discipline and made incredible personal sacrifices to pursuit of their goal of representing their country in the Olympic games. When they felt like quitting, they didn't give up. We they got injured, they didn't give up. When they wanted to sleep in or relax with friends, I bet they trained anyway. You know why? They all have personal RESOLVE. What an inspiration!!!!

I decided that this juice feast is a lot like the Olympics. It's a platform for achieving the best health I can attain. My own personal road to excellence. The Olympics start on 08.08.08. That's just nine days before my 92-day juice feast ends. I know I can make it. I just have to have personal resolve!

The following poem was found in Mother Theresa's room after she died...

Anyway

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self centered.
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you.
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight.
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough.
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them...anyway.

Good Stuff, eh?

Comments: This is day 37, which means I have 55 more days to go. Amazing! I'm a mere 9 days from the 1/2 way point! Yipee! I'm feeling really great today, and now that my water fast is over my skin has its juice glow back :) I had a huge BM yesterday after returning to juices from water. This turned into huge diarrhea last night. (At least it's moving on out, right?) I ordered Parastoy (a parasite cleanser) today. I plan to start it on day 45. Feeling really great about starting to add in some exercise, too.
