Day 32
Jan. 31, 2012
Tuesday AM

Physical:
I got to bed around 10:00- woke up twice, slept kind of restlessly. Didn't want to get up @ 6:00, but alas, I must! Juiced 1/2 gallon and got the broth from the pulp going- I LOVE the broth! Out the door by 7:00 to get the kiddo to the bus stop and off to the gym. Walked 30 minutes- probably too aggressive again- cuz I'm tired and feel kind of weak. But it felt good at the time :) Then did 12 minutes in the Beauty Angel- hey, I need all the help I can get!

I'm feeling much better now and much cleaner and less toxic now that the Chlorella's have moved out! Whew! Had a very successful colonic yesterday :) They didn't seem to do much good with the Chlorella's taking up residence. I am very tired today- I'm sure I'm detoxing at the next level- woohoo! I want a nap!!

Juicing:
I don't seem to mind the juicing much anymore. I'm sure it's due to the new Breville juicer :) It's a beast- so fast! It does waste more than the Samson, but since I'm making broth from the pulp I don't much care. And it seems to not make that much difference in how much juice I get. And I'm able to juice while making dinner for the fam. and get most of it cleaned up before the food is on the table- so I don't feel like I'm taking "extra" time to do it. I do my fruit juice at that time.

Psychology:
I'm forging ahead on my website- started another section. I'm too tired to clean right now, it's all I can do to maintain the kitchen.

I was so surprised when we went to the car this morning at 7:00- it was 43*!! Wow! Is it still January?! Even for February that is fantastic! It was gorgeous out, and the sunrise was beautiful to top it off :)

Day 31
Jan. 30, 2012
Monday AM

Was having severe computer issues yesterday :( Nothing can put me on my last nerve faster than computer issues!! UGH! But I'm thankful- so very thankful, to have enough warning to back up everything I want to keep! Woohoo!! And hubby is working on it as I type :) I think it's going to be okay, but if not, that's okay too. We have a great computer guy who will clean it off and restore it for $35!! The important thing is I got to save everything- whew! I have a really old back up computer that will suffice for work if I have to take this one to the shop.

Physical:
So I was up til midnight last night trying to solve my computer problems so I didn't get the sleep I would have liked, so I didn't go to the gym either. I was pretty tired all weekend, so I'm not upset about not going to the gym.

I'm still amazed at the solids passing through my body!! WTHeck! I'm not eating anything!! I thought the Chlorella family had all evacuated! I do feel better with each "passing moment" though! ;-) Love Cascara, magnesium and deep cleansing tea!

Juicing:
I feel like I spent the entire weekend in the kitchen! Between shopping, juicing, fixing meals and cleaning up- YIKES! I only drank 1 quart of my green juice yesterday, so I still have a quart for today. I think I will take a break from juicing today :) I drank 1/2 the quart for breakfast and am sipping on broth now, I also had some orange/grapefruit/kefir too. I had plenty of that as well, and tea, and I can always make a master cleanse or two if necessary.

There's a lot about juicing in the winter that I don't like, but one thing I do like is having the cold garage for produce storage! When I do this again in the summer I know I'll have to be making more trips to the store b/c of storage insufficiencies.

I made a batch of fruit juice yesterday with the Breville- really hit the spot: watermelon, grapes, strawberry with a splash of lemon- YUMI!! It was hard not to guzzle it.

Psychology:
Not getting things done as fast as I'd like is really making me suffer emotionally! It just seems to be taking forever to build my site and clean out the house!! There's not a whole lot left to clean, but I'd still like to get 'er done. Still TONS to do on my website though- that will be a long term project. I feel like I'm becoming an octopus with the raw food business (a tenticle growing for each area I consider)- so many areas to explore, so many things I want to do with it: writing webpages, writing ebooks, teaching classes, taking classes, writing my blog, keeping in touch with other blogs and forums... etc!

Day 28- wow! the time is really ticking by...
Jan. 27, 2012
Friday- woohoo!

Physical:
My face is starting to clear up a little :) Still have 1 big red zit on my right cheek. I'm noticing an improvement in the moisture content of my skin as well. I used to get calluses around my fingernails- it drove me crazy! But the worst part is I'd bite at it and pick at it ,and I would end up with sores around my nails and it hurt! If I put my hands in the water one time during the day I could guarantee this dry hard skin around my nails- it was maddening! I can't say it's completely gone, but it is much better. When I bite or pick at it it doesn't peel away down to the flesh like it used to- so no more sores!! YAY!! :)

Also- my chronic cough is gradually getting better. I don't have as many "hacking sessions" as I used to- yay again!! And coughing rarely interrupts my phone conversations anymore (I am a phone contact customer service rep!).

Slept well again last night :) And I did decide to workout yesterday. I did 30 minutes on the eliptical and went 4.15 miles! That's a record, and my pulse was lower than normal too! wow!

Juicing/ Time/ Money:
I'm not keeping track of money anymore- since I did it the first month and it was approx. $300. That includes the honey that I haven't used up yet, but doesn't include my order from Swanson Vitamins b/c those items aren't actually necessary.

My, did I say my? ...et em, my husband's Breville came today- woohoo!! not in time to use it before work though. But I had some time just now and made over a quart in just a few minutes!! This thing is a monster! I am very very pleased with it. It did the apples so wonderfully :) There was hardly anything to strain! What a great investment.

Psychology:
I've been very grouchy the last few days- poor Ken! A coupla things I'm thinking might be the reason why: not enough sleep those 2 nights and working out too hard (causing too much stress physically). I'm resisting taking my anti-anxiety meds, although Ken is encouraging me to do just that... I think he'd really like to see me calm down! I made juice with celery and spinach in it just now, so hopefully that will help too.
