Tough day to fast... long meeting, big buffet, delicious looking dessert and I'm drinking a kale, cucumber, celery juice. Add the heat to the mix. Anyway survived... Looking forward to the weekend to break the fast. Peace 

Start Day 3

Day 3,

I went to bed early last night with the thought of getting a good night's sleep, well I did but it was a little short. I was awake at 3:00 but is has been good, I got a lot done that needed to be done. I drank a little master cleanse while I read. Keep drinking the master cleanse or a close approximation.

I make about a half gallon's worth of master cleanse so I can always have it at the ready. Today, I will go out for an early morning run, some juice of celery, kale, spinach and ginger and then off to a lunch meeting... Yikes; I guess for me it is BYOBOG (bring your own bottle of greens). Happy juicing.
Peace

End of Day 2

Finishing up day 2.
The day was not smooth and it had nothing to do with the fast, it was just a little off. Met a friend for lunch, I had juice and she was nice enough not to eat something in my face. Later I went for a run, but it was already a little warm. I think my body had a bit of a fit, feeling real hungry, and the master cleanse was not helping, so I had this massive veggie juice: celery, beets, spinach, wheat grass, kale and some other green stuff with a hit of ginger. I went to Whole Foods, they call it an Earth Goddess, whatever, some times it is nice to not have to clean out the juicer (all the time). Feeling much better now.

Earlier today had lots of  master cleanse and had 2 cucumber, spinach, apple juices. Take care.
Peace 

Day Two

Feeling pretty good. I woke feeling clear. What strikes me with a fast is how clear I feel, I mean mentally, I just feel clearer and it makes me wonder what am I eating or what is in our food that fogs.

Starting off with some master cleanse, then I will do some celery, carrot, kale with a hit of ginger and after the fog lifts (outside) I go for a run. India, one of my daughters that will not claim me on Facebook, understandable, is doing the fast with me and is out running. I want to have a veggie juice waiting for her when she gets back. Peace

End of Day one

Feeling a little munchie tonight, my mouth is craving flavor. First day is always hardest for me, it is not that I feel hungry, just longing for that sensation; and that is why I do this. The sensation I want is sweet and crunchy, like dark chocolate surrounding a piece of coconut. Does that sound good or is it just me? I call that a vegan fantasy.

I stopped in Whole Foods and they had more reasonably priced cucumbers today. I find my sense of smell is heightened during a fast. I think it is my body reaching out and saying, maybe he can't smell anything that's why he's not eating, so the body kicks up the sense of smell. The smell of strawberries was exquisite.

This evening we had a cucumber, kale, pear juice, it was fine, not as delicious as the juice earlier but a good juice. I have been drinking tons of the master cleanse and visiting the bathroom all day.


Peace and Love

Breakfast

This is going sound crazy but I juiced this awesome juice this morning of celery, yellow bell pepper, spinach, dandelion, apple and a hit of ginger. Delicious. Also just pounding the master cleanse.
Day one - Hot off the press.
Just read an article in the New York Times (Sunday Review) which spoke of the nutiritional value of the foods we eat and how we are "breeding nutrition out of the food." If you can find the articule great but if not don't worry but it has some significance for our juice fast, think about adding dandelions, purple/yellow carrots, crab apples, arugula, scallions, the green parts, and herbs like parsely to your juice mix. Make sure the dandelions have not been sprayed with pesticides. I got a ton of them in my yard.
Remember to drink plenty of master cleanse and water.

I am going out for a run and then going to experiment with celery, yellow bell pepper and spinach with a hit of ginger. Stew Leonards did not have cucumbers yesterday, kind of weird and Whole Foods wanted $2.99 a cucumber, sounds like we should buy cucumber futures.

Happy Juicing
