Juice Feasting PDX

Today’s Juice Feasting adventure started out with a headache! I slept very deeply but when I awoke I was in full on detox mode. I also felt dehydrated despite drinking nothing but liquid the previous 24 hours. I woke up, made my juice and then spent some time in meditation and raising energy. I do a lot of energy work and healing which you can see at my healer blog which is listed on this blog. I found it interesting that when I was in meditation I could really let go of my physical body, to seperate the two.

I found that to be helpful because, when you can take those uneasy feelings of  detox and change. Or even those more emotional feelings that are surly to come up over the next 90 days and separate yourself from the physical body, it’s almost as if you can “disown” your physical sensations for periods of time, which I am surely to find handy as I go along this journey.

My Juice today consisted of:

1 Quart Kale & Green Lettuce

1 Quart Apple

1 Quart Celery

1 Quart Young Coconut Water (2 Coconuts)

1 Handfull of Bee Pollen

So I woke up, did my morning ritual and headed to my day job, as the day wore on the detox and “fast” feelings I’ve had when I’ve done fasts in the past got more intense as the day went on. Interestedly enough the juice didn’t taste very good either.

Then during the middle of the day I had a miracle happen, Mary delivered me a coconut and some bee pollen. After munching down on more bee pollen in one setting than I can ever remember and drinking the coconut dry I started to feel much better. As a bonus my 3rd quart of juice I had around 4:30PM really tasted good!

The take away for me on this is to make sure I have enough superfoods and nutrients in my body. If the juice starts to taste bad it’s probably due to not enough superfoods. Superfoods for me, so far seem to be the key to help get through the rough times. It’s now late evening and I’m feeling really good, I’m sure more detox is on the way but for now I’ll take what I can get!

I plan on concluding the evening with a long meditation and raise some more energy, and a good stretch!

Here’s to more magical Juice Feasting ahead!

Day 1: Monday, March 29, 2010:

Today is the start of 92 days of  juicy feasting goodness. I look forward to the end result but know that right now I must focus on the day to day, the moment I’m in now, so I keep pushing forward to that end result I desire. If I look forward 92 days I see all the beautiful, wonderful health benefits I will achieve but I also have my brain showing me all the things I will be missing out on too. Funny how that works, hee hee. I have been “getting ready” for this feast for about 2 years now. So yea, I have finally taken the plunge and I know that I’m truly ready now to see this juicy fun to the end!

This morning when I got up I had a quart of water and 2 caps of MSM. I then juiced most of my intake for the day. Worked out to be 1 quart each: kale, green leaf lettuce, apples, and celery. Today has already presented challenges for me. I’m a avid coffee drinker and my body has been yelling at me all day for attention. It’s letting me know that we haven’t got our fix in today. =) I also gorged heavily on cooked foods over the weekend…a goodbye to solids…which has left me a little toxic feeling.  Plus, I fed my tummy a large dose of greens this morning and I believe it was a little more healthy goodness than my tummy was looking for. So I have some queasiness sticking with me today. Luckily, I had the work day off so could take the rest I needed. I drank some apple juice and a decaf herbal tea to help ease the queeze. I also did some meditation work.

I’m starting this feast out weighing in at about 167 lbs. I would love to loose over 40 lbs on this feast and get down to around 125 lbs. Though, I’m not sure if that is ideal for my body size, height, etc. So I will not be fixated on a number.

Some goals for this feast: finally letting go of my emotional attachment to food, taking back control over my food intake…forever, reaching my healthy weight, cleansing out my body, reaching a higher vibrational state, letting go of my addiction to coffee and dairy (I already let go of sugar 9 months ago, yay me!), and just rocking out the new me!!

Cheers to Juice Feasting in PDX!!

Marcus Patman – 3/29/10

Juice = 3 1/2 Quarts – 1 Apple, 1 Green Kale, 1 Celery, 1/2 Quart Of Green Lettuce

It was a Monday so, the normal morning ritual of making juice. This was the first time I had started Juice Feasting on a full time basis for the next 90+ days or so. I haven’t set an exact number of days, I do plan on following through with the entire 92 day cycle as is the standard with Juice Feasting but, I want to keep things open as to not tie me to a specific number.

I learned that green lettuce juice doesn’t keep very long and isn’t very pleasant. I’ve mixed it with the Kale and Fruit juice before and it tasted fine so I’ll be doing such tomorrow.

Stay Tuned!
