Dreams/ Lucid Dreaming: I had a dream that my mom bought a Vita-Mix, and was asking me if I would help her learn how to use it. When I woke up, I really wanted it to be true!

Positive Changes to note:

I felt very calm today. As I went through the motions of every part of my day, I felt very calm and collected. I was totally "in the zone" today.

Oh, and my libido is totally off the charts...(My libido is always higher than most women...so actually this is something Justin has to deal with, but he seems to have no complaints!)

Food desires:

Asian flavors - fried rice, sushi, pickled vegetables, sweet and sour mock duck. And Indian food today...coconut curry, dhal, tofu dishes...that sort of thing. And I thought about a few raw recipes I'd like to bite into today!

Daily Thoughts:

Watermelon Juice: Watermelon juice just works for me. I need to remember to make it for myself at least once a week, perhaps twice a week. It satisfies me like no other juice does. And it seems to help me detox too!

I'm not giving up: For just a moment today, I felt like finishing when I reached 30 days. My goal is 92 days, but I felt this tiny urge inside of me, trying to get me to quit. I'm sharing this to you right now because there are many of you who have decided to juice feast, and at some point you may feel the same way along your journey. It is up to you to decide if that voice is worth listening to, or if it is a "nagging"sort of voice that just wants to bring you down. I can't decide that for you, but I do understand that it is there. Some juice feasters have felt a very strong calling to end their feast after a certain amount of time. The urge I felt today was not that calling. It was just trying to scare me, or freak me out. And after I told myself I am not giving up and I am going to keep going...that feeling of quitting immediately vanished.

Greens: Yeah, couldn't stomach the greens today. I think it was the Pineapple Parsley Blackberry combo from yesterday that upset my stomach a bit. I learned my lesson. Fortunately I had no sugar imbalance issues, I felt really good with my juice today.

A Note About The Daily Juice Feasting Photos: Since I am daydreaming of warmer weather, and the emergence of springtime...if I find photos on Flickr that capture my daydreams I will be posting them for all of us to enjoy. Spring is almost here! After all, look at that beautiful watermelon patch! It reminds me of the watermelons I grew in my own garden the year before Justin and I reunited. It was fun to grow them...but they never grew very big!

Have a juicy weekend!
