Tonight is the night before...another Juice Feast. Am so excited. Woke up this morning...f*@cked! Yesterday's 'raw' food tasting, really did me in. Ridiculous how sensitive I am, not long ago I would have walked away from that mammoth lunch glowing with energy with a skip in my stride. Today I awoke late, tired, puffy-eyed, pale and feeling out of synch with the spin of the universe. Well hurray, tomorrow is the beginning of another cleanse, and if the last one is anything to go by - I can not wait!!!
Went to the market and bought: carrots, spinach, parsely, apples, pears, romaine, lamb's lettuce, celery and yummy cukes. Trampled it all back in a suitcase on two buses to arrive home. Realised I was locked out - I am not expanding gracefully with the Universe today, spent an hour banging on the door before my brother woke up to let me in. But now I am fixed up and ready to run tomorrow. All that was left was to empty the contents of my fridge so..yummy romaine lettuce, with luscious avocadoes and a hemp-seed/lime/garlic/smoked paprika creamy dressing with some sundried tomatoes!!! Yum! Then I was like "oh no!".I realised that there was still a stack of cacao nibs left in the cupboard and I had less than 12 hours to work out what to do with it. I put my thinking cap on and off the top of my head managed to make a fig, hemp seed, cacao and honey pudding with lots of vanilla and a dash of cayenne. OMG, I was singing to the pudding. It went "We'll meet again, don't know how, don't know when, but I know we'll meet again some sunny day." You know that Vera Lynn classic! My cacao pudding is so good, its better than anything I have tasted at Saf so far. I will be selling it under the counter, just ask for Poppy's moonshine pudding. I shall be taking some to a potluck next Saturday - thanks for the info Paz!
So I am so psyched for tomorrow. Its good to have the foresight this time around. Last time was very spontaneous and I didn't have a chance to have my last supper and spent the week lamenting not having one last salad so it feels good to have treated myself this time round. Can't wait to get back into enemas, skin brushing and gallons of the green stuff! Oh yeah. Food is fun but juices are so much more. I have missed it pretty much from the day I broke the last Juice Feast. I am gonna drink lots of hemp oil this time round to ensure I don't have any of the imbalance I suffered last time.
Peace!!

Poppy,
I had some dense food today that made me feel as yucky as you expressed with the saf food -I had raw chocolate and cashew cheese - way too heavy and my body doesn't like it at all!!!!
So sweetheart, I'm going to join you in juice feasting for two days before I leave here again - and I feel as excited as you do :-)
I drink green juices every morning for breakfast, but just the thought of sharing this with you and doing something together again, even for just two days - makes me smile and feel real good inside.....
I have a colonic scheduled for Tuesday evening, my last one before I go away - so the timing is perfect too :-)
Okay, lets juice it up real good......

Poppy, new JF just in perfect time, hurray for you! Catching up on these beautiful thoughts is wonderful as usual. I'm riding waves here too (I titled my post last night, before I came here to visit :o) ). Really feeling ACTION to be vital, too, and my words extraneous.. even as I'm overflowing, and so much is pouring out of every physical, spiritual, mental, emotional nook of my being.
OOo cacao pudding!! No doubt I'll want some of that instead of the trophologically-challenged "gourmet" stuff at Saf (was that harsh?) when I come to visit. Simplicity is most satisfying for me too. Big love x
My juicy sister!! :) You're back on the juicy wagon! Hehehee... I'm totally psyched to be juicing along with you again! :)
I love that you sang to your pudding. I totally agree with you; the last supper before the juice feast is mandatory. I'm so happy I had an awesome pesto dish before starting my juice feast. I think back on it and it makes me happy. I really wish I would have had some fattoush though.... soon enough though... only 15 days left! :)

Neeta, hurray for Juice Feasting again together! I love, love the idea of us doing it together also. Sending you pure love and getting ready for some juicy action. Bisous a toi...
Jenna, missed you, tell me you won't be gone so long again - getting so accustomed to the cosiness of your thoughts! Can't believe you are coming to London soon, of all places! Feels like a little gift, I shall have a moonshine pudding waiting for you! Congrats for getting to 60 days, what a terrific feat. I will think of you as I prepare my chocolati milk spesh tomorrow!
Ben, oooh am rejoicing in the fact that I am back in the fam, for the last bit of your juice run. 15 days left, wow! I had a second dose of pudding and now I can't sleep, and I am now contemplating pesto and courgette noodles, like I should be fattening up before the feast! Food on the brain as always - not good! Send you huge hugs, loving you! xx
