MY HEART GIGGLED

Sometimes I'm doing things considered

crazy by others, but then my heart giggles.

That's when I know I am doing the right thing.

Today makes Day 10,
the last day of my
juice fast!

I started out strong,
but by day 3 I was
doubting I could do
it. By day 6 I was
dreaming of tables
filled with breads and
huge tubs of butter
all just waiting for
me to eat, barrels of
yogurt and honey
calling my name.

I started to waver.
Mike voiced his concern,
he worries, but I didn't
want to quit., not after
coming this far.

I've walked for miles
just to be away from 
the house, the kitchen,
food.
I've drank gallons of water
and herb tea.
I"ve run the juicer three,
four times a day processing
tons of vegetables and
fruits.

And now?

Well, my skin looks
pretty good, I have tons and
tons of energy, my clothes
feel looser and my mood
is happy. My sleeping didn't
improve, but then I never
sleep much anyway.
I can't say I would/could do
this more than once a year,
but I'm glad I did it this time.

My favorite afternoon juice:
1/2 pineapple
3 pounds carrot juice
2 inches fresh ginger, optional

Run through juicer, chill. Can mix with seltzer water if desired.
