Revved Up


Now by body has readjusting to food, (finally!) I seem to be going into serious energy overdrive, like a revved up motor that has just received another dose of fuel thrown on to the fire. I do not know what to do with myself, it seems I have waaaay too much time with myself and far too many questions circling in my head. I need to sit down and think now, breathe, inahle and relax. the most important thing for me to address now is all these ideas spinning around me, they need to be moved into motions. The feast was all about elevating myself from the wintry cave in my mind, seeking inspiration, refocusing and gaining the confidence to act upon my desires. Now is essentially about striking while the iron's still hot thus respecting the glorious life-affirming postivity of mind that the juicefeast allowed me to connect with. I am so happy for many things right now, above all for the connection I feel with other people, giving and receiving novel acts of kindness. I smile ten times more than I ever have and have the ooomph of a fired up kid. I need to be moving from London within the next week or so and pressing on with my life, drawing my paths in the sand.

Juice breaking is still weird. My eyes have a huge apetite and yet my stomach wants very little. After my water lemon and MSM combo, 1l Green Juice in the morning I am not hungry again until 6pm at which point I wolf down a small cucumber, seaweed and tomato salad and then thats it for the day. The salads are divine, but food is really not what it was cracked up to be for all the duration of the feast. Neither do I remember ever being so detached from food in my life. And its quite scary because it leaves me a lof of spare time on top of my minimal sleeping hours. I am very nostalgic about juicing. I feel like I want to jump back in or at least do half a week juicing, half on solids.

I am craving Spring, for renewal and sunlight and fresh air and running outdoors. I find that I am always cold especially with all the green juices and smoothies and desire more than ever to bathe in blissful sunshine. I have been reading extracts of Arnold Ehret's "Ratinal Fasting" and I am bowled over by the clarity of his system; fresh air, sun bathing, singing, walking, mental purity and exhileration of the mind are all essential factors for optimal living. I know I have the diet factor nailed for the time being, but I want to expand so much more on the other aspects. I love nature, but I rarely respect my desire to immerse myself fully in natural settings for long enough periods of times. I do miss that. See where I am going with this? Hm.

Today I had:

1l Lemon and MSM Water
1l Pure Water with Psyllium
1l Carrot and Spinach Juice
Handful Grapes
1 Persimmom Fruit
Cucumber, Tomato, Dulse, Paprika, Lemon Juice and Garlic Salad with Microgreens
100ml Green Smoothie...(made a litre but was waaay to full to drink all this)
