92 Day Juice Feast Day 9!

Happy First Day of Autumn!!!

Wow!! Where does the time go?? It has been a fantastic week of juicing for me :) Last week I had a day of greens, watermelon, and pineapple, the perfect ingredients for releasing inflamation. Today my green juice was a combination of dandelion (a great detoxer), kale, lettuce, celery, spinach, beet greens, ginger, and apples. I mean, I went hog wild just grabbing anything green I could get my hands on from the fridge!! Oh, and I even threw in 1/2 a cucumber that had been in there for a while. The end result was an amazing juicy green concoction which sent my cells to orbit and back!

So here on my 2nd week of juicing really loving it. Especially since to date, I have lost 9.5 lbs!! Yippee! Lost 8lbs the first week and 1.5 lbs from yesterday to today.

I have tried to take a few walks, even if my Juice Feaster Guru (Angela Stokes) says you should not start exercising till day 45 - I just can't stay away from the beautiful scenery I live in here in Topanga. Besides, my walks are basically nice strolls, nothing too strenuous.

This weekend however, I did sort of overdo it physically. On Saturday I participated in the Coastal Clean Up here for Heal The Bay in Santa Monica, so I was constantly bending down picking up debris, cigarette buts, little bits of wrappers and plastic, bottle caps, etc. Needless to say I am STILL sore! Mostly my legs got it the worst. But it actually felt good to exert some dormant tissue! LOL...also, on Sunday I spent the day walking around and participating in the Day of Peace on the Santa Monica Pier. By Sunday night I was exhausted!!

Everything is going great! Last night I went over to celebrate my dear friend Cris' birthday and instead of cake we had an amazing carrot, apple, ginger juice!! She is also working on streamlining her figure. What a treat that was...we watched Dancing With The Stars on a wide screen in the rec room of her apt building and sipped our juice ;) It was awesome!
