day 12: busy

hello juicy world! first let me say thank you to all you lovely people sending me twits and blog comments to ask after me, as i've been awol these past few days. big shoutouts to penni and dea for supportive communication :)

right. now let's get on with the show. i started my new job on monday and combining that with the juicefeast activities has been tough. so i'll admit straight off i've only skinbrushed once and haven't done any exercise, other than running for a train, since the weekend but at least i have managed every-other-day enemas. supplements are still hit and miss. i forget to take them and remember too late, as i'm in such a rush to leave the house. but... i take comfort in david and katrina's video in which they say that 92 days should be enough to get your routine down pat ;)

i'm still struggling to do the minimum 3 quarts (i use litres, which works out at roughly 1 litre=1 quart) but i am managing to stick to mainly vegetable juices, with 2 or more quarts of mostly veggie and a pint of fruit only per day. i'm also doing the msm-lemon water. i don't know if it's because i also use msm cream on my face and i have some msm body lotion, too, but my skin is very soft. fabulous.

i am starting to get a bit more energy, though i still find i get that afternoon slump and my brain is about dead by 5pm. not sure how to fix that. hope it fades away as the energy surge settles in for the duration.

i've talked to quite a few people now, in some detail, about what i'm doing and have had so much support and genuine interest; i'm quite blown away. i'm sure there are those at my new place of work who think i'm stark raving bonkers, but there are several of them who ask lots of questions and everybody is just rolling with it. might be because i made them all awesomeness in a glass on tuesday; i took 3 pineapples in, juiced them and handed out little glasses to all present. ha. and do you still like the stuff that comes in a carton? no, i didn't think so.

i'm not getting so many weird cravings now, though i do still want solid food. and carrie's photo of her dinner totally got me drooling. oh and i'm so making this sometime in june. and then i'll work my way through my gift-to-myself, the cafe gratitude recipe book (what a lovely book. really enjoyed skimming through it so far.)

and with that, my lovelies, it's time to prep my veg ready for early morning juicing.

keep it juicy!
