Juice Feast - Day 6

Saturday, 06 March 2010

The Juice Fest continues! Darren and I are now seasoned juice makers, and are enjoying experimenting with different fruits and veggies. The juice making process is not too restraining, though we cannot go out for a long period of time without remembering to juice a couple jars to take with us. So, it just makes us have to be better planners.

One thing I'm dealing with is just being really cold. I was feeling this way, though, before we started the juice fast. I've been drinking a couple cups of tea every day, which is nice to warm up, but mostly I just bundle up a lot. I'm definitely looking forward to the Spring! Also, my energy level was kind of low today, but that's probably attributed to another night of poor sleep. It's just a symptom of being a mom, I think.

Darren worked overtime (at home) today, and his back is really bothering him. It could possibly be a detox symptom, but more likely attributed to the extra time sitting working in a chair. He's also finding himself a bit more stuffed up (sinuses) today, which I've heard is a common detox symptom. I'm finding my sinuses to be blissfully clear, and I'm hoping they stay that way after last year's horrific sinus infection. Ouch!

I think I will sort of miss the departure from the norm we've experienced during this fast. It's been kind of a time out to ponder and think about the way we do things and what our motivation behind our actions is. We've had some very deep conversations this week.

So, rolling into day 7 tomorrow... just enjoying the ride.
