  Day 71 of juice feasting in PDX!

  Last few days have been pretty good mentally, emotionally and spiritually! I seriously am ready to get back to the real world and incorporate all I’ve learned from this and put it into practice. I’ve lost so much weight, yahoo!, but really want to take this break from eating and bring it about into a new lifestyle change for myself. It will complete my goals that I had for this juice feasting. Balance, portion control and moving my butt will be key. Eating a mostly raw, living foods diet will be another. I have some BIG ideas of foods I really want to eat because I’ve missed them but I believe I will have some huge wake-up calls as to what I won’t be able to eat or won’t be willing to eat because they will make me feel like crap. So I will just have to listen to my body and be mindful of what I feed it. If anything, just actually getting to chew on something and swallow sounds delightful! =)

  We’ve really moved away from sweet juices. Pineapple juice was a big favorite through this feast but I find it way too sweet to drink now. Watermelon juice is another one that is way too sweet to drink now, makes me gag thinking about it. We get by with our trusty kale and apples still. Plus tomatoes and oranges have been tasting really good to me . Not a ton of stuff in season right now so it’s good to be bringing this to a close as I’m a little bored with the kale and apples. =)

  Marcus has been reading that agave nectar is not good for our bodies. It raises our insulin. I will be researching that myself and must say “wow!” to that. Coconut Bliss ice cream was a savior to me kicking my sugar addiction a year ago. Looks like honey might become more stylish.  =) Speaking of honey. We have a local raw honey source here in our little city. It is amazing honey! They have several varieties of honey: meadowfoam, mixed flowers, carrot, blackberry, raspberry, pumpkin. I think we’ve tried most of them and meadowfoam is my winner! So divine! Has a hint of vanilla flavor after a bite.

  Well that is all for now…cheers to juice feasting in PDX!
