gearing up

i've set myself a to-do list, ready for the big day. i'm starting this weekend with a few of the things on the list and i'll work my through the rest over the next week. so, my preparation involves:

order ph strips and enema kit from the fresh network

buy glucose testing kit from chemist

set up weekly order with the organic produce company

clean out the fridge to make space for all the fruit and veg

buy a big-ass wooden fruit bowl and empty one of the wicker baskets to contain the stuff which won't fit in the fridge

buy small juicer to take to work

get hold of liquid zeolite (update: have decided to get ground instead of liquid, more on that in a later post)

find a place in the house where the rebounder won't shake downstairs's ceiling too badly (it's been decommissioned since we moved in here as the floors are so flimsy, but i'll give it a go...)

i'm very lucky - those lovely stars aligning for me again, for which i'm truly grateful - that i'm swapping jobs and the first week of march is my week off between finishing at one and starting at the new one. so a paradigm shift commences on many levels of my life. but it also gives me the amazing opportunity to spend the first week of the juice feast with time to spare to start it all properly and give myself the chance to set myself up for success. i will have to do stuff, lots of paperwork and organising ready for my new career but no 9-5 to fit in. plus, once i start the new job i'll be able to go in with a set of behaviours that have been settling in over the previous week. so much easier to present myself to a group of people as 'loulou who doesn't eat solids or drink coffee' rather than people who know me thinking i've finally overstepped the normal barrier, which was looking a bit hazy in my case anyway, what with those glasses of swamp gunk i'm so fond of...

so, thank you! universe, for pulling this all together for me. i'm so excited, and a little nervous. i can't wait to begin!
