Today was quite unlike anything I've ever experienced. I met up with the WLIR squad (including fellow juice feaster Philip, of lovingraw.com ), Carrie & Raw B, Nancy, among many others! I met several new people...its so exciting to know that there are highly motivated people who share many of my visions. There was so this incredible flow of energy in the room.

There has been so much synchronicity the past few days thats really pointing me towards actively creating change of my own. I'm really busy with school, but things only get done when people actually do them.

I don't really have anything else to say about today. It left me quite speechless. I was in a really big hurry to leave because so much was said and I was so inspired that I felt weird just sitting there, even though I truly enjoyed my company...

So many books to read, things to do, people to connect with...I'm stoked.

Oh, and PS? Bonobos is 100% raw vegan! Who knew? I sure didn't. Its pretty awesome that they're sneaking raw food into people's lunches everyday.

Today was the first day the rice cravings went away. I hope they're gone for good. I feel like its time to transition back to blended foods & solids. I've done some thinking, and I don't know that 92 days without fiber is really best for me. Even when my green consumption is really high, I'm still thinking about solid (raw) foods a lot, probably to a point where its not healthy. Its no way to foster a good relationship with food.

Juice Feasting has been hard for me. Not in the realm of cravings, or getting the juices in...but the preparation and the fact that I have to haul around 3 quarts of juice/mason jars all day long. When I've already got all of my stuff for work, it adds up to a lot.

This has been a fabulous, fantastic experience on what is only the beginning of an amazing journey of health & enlightenment. I got so much out of my feast and have really been able to critically examine my relationship with food.

In lieu of the soaked prunes, my first "solid" meal will be a green smoothie. I'm going to follow the remainder of the feast breaking protocol to include juicy fruits for the next phase, and tender greens for the last. I'm pretty excited about eating again. :)

I will still be making regular posts to this blog, and am so very blessed to have shared this adventure with all of you.




Post Script: (Feb 3, 2008)
The above italicized text was published last night, then removed. While I haven't changed my decision to break the feast, I will be doing so after 40 days (Saturday will be Day 1 of Feast-Breaking). My first meal will be the prunes, as I will have the time to procure them after all. :)
