Juice Feast-Day 60

Another Milestone Reached


Today is day 60 on my juice feast! Groovy! It's crazy to think that no solid foods have passed my lips for since May 18th (Ok, except for that lone tortilla chip, but I'm not counting that because I rinsed my mouth out and I never swallowed! )

As a way of celebrating my juicy success (at least in my mind), Chris and I bought a membership to our local Whole Foods Co-op. Our co-op isn't part of the "Whole Foods" chain (not to take anything away from them), but rather a REAL member-owned food cooperative. I'm super psyched! I've wanted to get a membership since moving here 10 years ago. Why we waited so long I'll never know. Well, actually I do know. We thought it cost $100 a year so we never wanted to pony up the cash. As it turned out, we were wrong. The cost of a lifetime membership is a $100.00-just a one time fee! And it's SO worth it! We get all kinds of member discounts, special member-only coupons, monthly specials, and voting rights at annual meetings. Plus, it's a joy to shop there. They just built a fabulous new L.E.E.D. (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified building, so our greens just got "greener", too!

My husband and I also took a spin around the local shopping mall today. We've got a good friend getting married this weekend and were looking for some new duds. What a joy it is to shop weighing 35 lbs less than before. I could have gone crazy with all of the summer stuff on sale! HOWEVER...I didn't. I'll worry about improving my wardrobe once my body reaches a stable weight. In my mind, that equates to another 30 lbs of weight loss, but who knows where my body is going to decide it feels best. Maybe more, maybe less.

Juicy Diary-Day 60

(today's juice & supplements)

32 oz water

12 oz rooibos tea + 1 Tbsp raw honey

12 oz pineapple/cherry + MSM + b12 + Parastroy

32 oz water

25 oz orange juice + Parastroy

32 oz water + chanca peidra

Total Juice = 37 oz (0.29 gallons)

Total Water = 108 oz water (0.84 gallons)

I really went light on the liquids today-partly due to all of the running around I did. After today I'm fully restocked with fruit and greens and ready to go to town for the rest of the week. I like giving myself and my body a break every so often by throwing in a few days of water fasting or just light juicing (although I'm going to need at least a little bit of juice each day for the next few weeks due to the parastroy). It really seems to renew my appetite for the juices and it gives me a break from all of the clean up and prep work in the kitchen.
