Five Day Juice Feast - Day 5!

Friday, 03 December 2010

Today was a busy day, with homeschool activities, Joe's hockey and my yoga class and workshop in the evening. I'm really glad I did all my juicing yesterday, because it was nice to not have to run home to make another juice.

Darren juice fasted along with me today. I forgot to get him on video, because we hardly saw one another today. But, being that it was his first day and I was on my last, he experienced a little more of a challenge, though he stuck with it. He just said by the late afternoon, he kind of felt like he was "jonesing" and felt like he should eat something. But, knowing we're done tomorrow, he wanted to just finish out the day. We'll both have one more juice in the morning, and then when we get back from Joe's hockey game in the afternoon, we'll break the fast with some fruit or something simple.

I finished off the week with a gentle yoga class, and a very well-timed juicing demo workshop at the YMCA. I really enjoyed both the yoga class and the juicing demo. It was nice to have somebody else make the juice for a change! I did notice, though, that since the fiber wasn't strained out of the juice, I felt a little different shortly after. I guess that fiber is powerful stuff!

So, it's been an interesting experience, once again. I'm thankful for my friend, Tracy, who joined me this week. It was nice to have someone going through the same thing, and I really appreciated the support. Now, I'm more interested in how the next few days will go. It's been nice not feeling bloated for five days. But, one cannot juice forever, so I'll continue to work on finding that balance with food and examining all areas of my life to maximize my health and well-being. The journey continues...
