60 Day Juice Feast – Day 45
Wow, today I fit into a size 6 pants… I haven’t been this size for over two years. Crazy to think that in a year I’ve gone from a size 14 to a size 6, just through the raw food diet and some Juice Feasting. I haven’t weighed myself for while, so I’m not sure where I am at in regards to weight loss, and it feels good not to know – its nice to let that go for a bit.
My good friend Blair Boudousquie of Wild-Health.com broke his Juice Feast today, after 60 days on juice! He had a remarkable journey, and you can see him talk about his feast as well as eat his first meal by clicking here. Congratulations Blair!
60 Day Juice Feast – Day 44

20 oz. spinach/apple juice
10 oz. herbal tea with stevia

60 Day Juice Feast – Day 43
Today has been a good day, a juicy satisfying day. I’m correlating a lot of my enthusiasm and hunger to the weather. On days when it is colder, I find myself less motivated for both making and drinking juice – its a little bit of a reluctant push to get myself to do it. Today, actually, I was so not in the mood for making or drinking juice at all. Definitely still enjoying the feast, although I feel that the next 60-92 day juice feast I do will be when the entirety can be done during very warm summer months. I have been thinking the past few days that it would be nice to do a 60-92 day feast at least every other year, and to do shorter ones in between. As I got to goofing around with that idea, I playfully estimated that this would equate to 2400 – 3680 days of Juice Feasting during the next eighty years of my life, or a total of 6.57 – 10.08 years of Juice Feasting over the next eighty years. That’s a lot of juice! Oh, the juiciness of life, eh? We’ll see how it all unfolds, but its fun to play around with numbers 🙂
60 Day Juice Feast – Day 42
Ahh… I’m filled with the holiday spirit even though I’m in southern Arizona… I have discovered holiday music on pandora.com (which if you aren’t familiar, you simply must investigate!) and it brings so many memories… the holiday season was nothing less than absolutely magical and enchanting for me as a child.
60 Day Juice Feast – Day 41
Wow, this blog has now officially been visited from every state in the U.S. and over 50 countries. How grateful I am for the technology of computers and the internet that allows me to share this juicy experience on such a far reaching basis! It is also an indicator that people around the world are ready for this information, and ready to claim their vibrant health and radiance!
60 Day Juice Feast – Day 39
Today was a lovely day of sleeping in, and then a nice trip to Tucson to see ‘Into the Wild’… what an AWESOME movie, I highly recommend it!!
60 Day Juice Feast – Day 40
Day 40! 40 is kind of a special number… I remember reading about people who did 40 day fasts and it seemed like such a feat, to go that long without food. While feasting is very different than fasting, it’s sort of surreal to think that I’ve gone 40 days now on liquids..
Today’s Feast, in order of consumption:
32 oz. green juice w/ lemon, ginger, cayenne, turmeric and salt
32 oz. spinach/parsley/apple juice w/ spirulina and salt
2 TBS coconut oil
32 oz. orange/grapefruit juice w/ 1 TBS MSM
2 TBS bee pollen
28 oz. parsley/apple juice
60 Day Juice Feast – Day 38
Twas a nice Friday indeed, complete with no shopping trips whatsoever Today’s feast was very simple – I liked it that way. I really havne’t done a whole lot of complex juices during this whole feast. But that really works for me at this point – prior to this juice feast I’d been eating pretty much 100% raw food, but it was all very complex dishes made by the Tree of Life Cafe – amazing and delicious, probably some of the best raw food in the world – but complex nonetheless. I was definitely looking forward to the simplicity of a juice feast, and it has been very satisfactory to have it that way. I am very sure that I’ll be eating simply when I return to food.

60 Day Juice Feast – Day 33
Yesterday was another crazy day – so much has happened this weekend it’s mind blowing. I have transformed more in this last weekend than I ever would have thought possible. It seems like it was ages ago that it was Friday.I had a big blow of some news that came of my family yesterday and it was super intense. I had a little more nibbles on some different food items, so that plus this news gave way to an even deeper trigger and thus healing than the day before. It’s been an amazing weekend of healing in soo many areas, it’s unbelievable. The biggest lesson, I think, was letting go of the egoistic ideal of having my first juice feast be a perfect juice one and giving up beating myself up for making mistakes. I have a renewed sense of enthusiasm for this feast.

20 oz. orange juice
60 Day Juice Feast – Day 32
Wow. Intensity on Day 32, holy guacamole. Yesterday was the most powerful day of my juice feast so far, perhaps one of the most powerful days I’ve ever had. I was hitting a lot of emotional stuff in the earlier part of the day – feeling really distraught and irritable. While running some errands in a nearby town, I was having, for the first time, some issues with blood sugar dropping and was getting a little dizzy. Luckily, as David has advised me, if one is in that situation on a juice feast and they don’t have access right away to juice, an emergency measure is to get one of those Odwalla juices.
60 Day Juice Feast – Day 31
Yesterday I wrote a bunch of decisions for days 30 – 60, because the second thirty days are going to be even better than the first thirty! Or so I’ve decided 🙂 I’ll be upping my exercise more, getting better rest, drinking more water, and much more!
I’ve had a chlorophyll-ish epiphany today. And it is that I’m not getting enough chlorophyll!! I’ve recently discovered that the green juices I get from the Tree of Life Cafe, while wonderful, don’t actually have as many greens as I thought – they are primarily cucumber and celery with a few greens added in. A wonderful juice no doubt, but I estimate I’m probably only getting in about 1/2 lbs of greens per day when I’m supposed to be getting 2 lbs. This will be a big shift and I anticipate great results by turning onto more chlorophyll. I also realized that my cravings for bee pollen is probably my body trying to get more protein – now I understand why!
60 Day Juice Feast - Day 30 *Halfway!*
All day today has been a prolonged experience of soaring gratitude and appreciation for me. There is nothing more rewarding, adventurous, and fulfilling as creating radiant health and non-causal happiness! We are so blessed to have the opportunity to be overflowing with the goodness and prosperity that health bring, in order to help other people. I can’t seem to find an end to my gratitude for everything in my life and the world that has caused me to follow this path and the means to be able to share it. Thank YOU for this opportunity!

60 Day Juice Feast – Day 27
Wow, now that I look at these pictures side by side, I guess I do look quite a bit different. I didn’t really notice as dramatic of a change, considering I see myself day to day. But here we go, Day 1 and Day 27 after 4 weeks on juice!! You can click on the pictures and they’ll come up a little bigger. My hair looks a little wonky in both pics, haha… time for a cut, methinks.
60 Day Juice Feast – Day 26
Today we attended a wonderful event – a day seminar by David Rain (http://www.juicefeasting.com/) and Mike Adams (http://www.newstarget.com/). Sooo much information was covered by these two awesome guys, I don’t even know where to start. David did a wonderful presentation on Juice Feasting, of course, and Mike’s talks are always great. I’ve seen Mike speak three times now – first at the Best Weekend Ever in L.A. in September, then at the Raw Spirit Festival in Sedona in October, and now here – his website is an incredible source of information – he is giving us all quite the gift with it. Among the many new things I learned today, a lot of statistics and studies were shared pertaining to David and Mike’s talks about reclaiming our health and vitality. It is estimated now that one in three children will develop diabetes.
