Day 5

Yay, Day 5!  So let me start out by saying that this juice feast is a beautiful, profound journey everyone should take up at some point their life.  Let me also say that it is also something that takes preparation.  I feel like EVERYTHING in my past has built me up for this moment!  The list goes on and on from my accomplishments, my mistakes and disappointments, my trials and errors, all the knowledge I've learned along the way.  All those times I have cheated on my diet have made me realize how terrible it feels to give up.  So everything is sort of coming together in this whirlpool of ecstasy.  I just feel really good.  I feel good inside and out, feel good about all of me.  I feel good about my choices.  Heck, I don't even regret any bad decisions.  I just literally feel at peace.  BUT, don't let that fool you!  On the flip side of things, really old emotions keep popping up.  I'll find myself in moments of despair, hopelessness, disappointment and distress.  "Yes, I feel empowered now, but can I really last 60 days?"  Then I have to remind myself that 60 days is gonna fly by! :-)

Today I had a whole cantaloupe, my all time favorite.  I will be drinking a trillion of these during my fast.  It's such a treat from Mother Nature. :-))  I also had a blood orange juice and made an orange, carrot and ginger juice.  Couldn't forget to also have some Vitamineral green, which I just mixed with water.  I am really hoping that helps push out all the toxic waste.

Speaking of toxic waste, we are all so clogged up in America.  I work in a kitchen selling typical American cuisine.  I'm talkin' burgers, phillys and a bunch of fried food.  Sometimes people ask me, "What's healthy in here?".  And I look at them like they're crazy!  They might continue on and buy a turkey burger and all I can think is, "They might as well buy a real burger, it's just as terrible for their health!"  Anyway, while people were ordering away with their terrible skin and obvious breathing problems last night, ordering a pile-high plate of fried seafood and fries, all I can think about is all the sludge coming out of my body even though I am not eating anything.  All the sludge comprising the blood of this meat eater who constantly drinks sodas and eats a huge majority of processed foods.  It was really grossing me out.  How could a whole country be so manipulated into living off of completely lifeless food?  And then I am reminded how just days ago I was guzzling liquor and stuffing my own face with terrible professed fucking foods!  UGH!  Just a reminder that processed foods are drugs.  Right now, I almost feel like I am on another plane.  This plane has barely lifted the veil of food lies, but I see right through them.  I think that's why I really haven't been too tempted yet.  The energy of the Universe is coursing through me helping me through this.  Thank You, Universe!

So Day 5 completed, 55 more days to go!
