So close to victory!
Only two more days and I have finished this goal I have set out for myself. I’m in that final stretch and I can see the finish line and it is nothing but strength and persistence that will help me soar through it!
Today was a good day with juicing. I didn’t write down my juice menu before bed last night, I just played around with it in my head and decided to go with a carrot juice base today because I hadn’t done that one in a few days.
Breakfast Juice: Carrot, Pear, Cucumber, Celery, Collard Greens – made about 2 cups of juice
Lunch Juice – Raw V8 recipe from prettysmartrawfoodideas blog. It called for carrots, beet, tomatoes, spinach, cabbage, red & green bell pepper, celery, onion, garlic, kale and chili pepper to taste. This made over 4 cups of juice and I drank at least 3 of them. It was very good and had much more flavor than most of the juices I had been drinking.
Fruit Juice: Watermelon, nectarines, peach
The fruit juice tasted really tangy to me today and others said they tasted the sweetness to it. I wonder if my taste is changing from the juice fast?
Today I had a negative confrontation with people that are really close to me. I’m going to leave out all the juicy details because I’m not trying to put anyone down, but I was definitely in no mood for it being 8 days in to my juice fast. How often are we affected by the negative things that people who are close to us say to us? How often do we let those things run around and around inside our heads? Why do people need to be hurtful and say things like that to you? What ever happened to just talking instead of trying to post blame or curse at you and put you down? I couldn’t handle it. I got my things together and exited the building as quickly as possible. I still don’t know what to do with it now other than just move on and put it behind me. I have no fault in what happened and I have to let go of the things that were shouted at me.
Along with changing my diet and health in the future I also need to take closer look at the environment that my life takes place in and think about where I want to be in the future. This is an excellent thing to happen because my juice fasting group gets to set goals for their future today! I guess I should get started working on that now.
