Juice Feast-Day 51

I'm A Little Trumpet...

<--- This was me...all day today. It was ridiculous. The dog wouldn't even hang out with me for heaven sakes. And to make matter worse, my husband thought the whole thing was a hilarious. He kept yelling, "good out!" every time I let one rip (there was no letting them out quietly). So after retracing my "juicy steps", I've come to the conclusion that I must have gassed myself up with the 1 Tbsp of raw honey I added to my rooibos tea yesterday. It was the first bit of sugary goodness (beyond fruit juice) I've taken in since starting this feast. My, oh my! We do become sensitive after going raw don't we? I can't imagine what a full blown meal would do to my system right now. That 1 tiny Tbsp of honey turned my colon into a fermentation station. Whoot! Whoot! Plus, I craved sugar ALL day long today. No more honey for me...for at least another 42 days!

Everything Needs Detoxing

Today it was time to detox my split ends :) I went to the el-cheapo hair salon, which turned out to be both good and bad. On the plus side, my haircut was practically free by today's salon standards. On the minus side, I ended up with "chatt Chuck", a hairdresser who has recently relocated to Duluth, MN from Malibu, CA. (I imagine he's probably still recovering from the shock). He chatted non-stop, apparently to the point of distraction. When I got home I noticed that the hair on one side of my head is now approximately 1 1/2 inches longer than on the other side. But hey, at least I heard some funny stories.

It's funny how the cleaner I get on the inside, the dirtier everything on the outside looks to me. My house, which ordinarily seems reasonably clean (spic and span by some standards) seems impossibly dirty right now. The energy needs lightening. It's too stale in here. It's time for a clearing again. My car suddenly needs cleaning out, too, as does the silverware drawer, my sock drawer, and the cupboard above the fridge.

Mucoid Juice???

I blended cantaloupe and blueberries today. Instantly I had a lovely blue/gray congealed blob in a pitcher. I'm not sure what happened, because I juice watermelon and blueberries all of the time. Just a word of caution. Unless you like your juice the consistency of psyllium/benonite, avoid this particular blend :)

Sleep & dreams: 7hrs. More detox dreams.
Exercise: 1 mile hike with dog, 20 minutes of light weights

Comments: Whoot! Whoot! Lifting weights didn't go so well today. Maybe it's because I haven't exercised for a long time, or maybe it's because my body is happy not to be toting around that extra 33 lbs and now refuses to lift anything heavier than itself! Am I losing too much muscle? Doubtful. I'm getting a lot of protein with all the greens I'm consuming...Hmmmm. Don't know what's going on...
