been a bit lazy on the blogging front lately. i've wanted to step away from it so i can get on with some other stuff. i have so many downloaded files off juicefeasting.com to read through, and the rainoshek's videos to watch, and everyone's blogs to read that when it comes to writing up my own blog i've kind of lost interest by then.
i've also got two books on the go at the moment and they've been rather neglected, so i'm trying to get back into them.
then of course there's the new job. it's not tiring or demanding just yet as my big project (the thing i've really been hired for) doesn't kick off until 1st april, so i'm just looking after a couple of small things in the meantime and trying to learn as much as possible about my big project in advance. but getting going with the routine, general settling in and having to catch a train every day is enough to be getting on with! my underling (heh) is sweet and well-meaning but needs a fair bit of hand-holding which i currently find endearing (whilst acknowledging that i might tire of it eventually) and it means the control freak in me is pacified as i get sight of everything, but it does mean i have to be prepared to be stopped every time i pass his desk... which is every time i go to the bathroom for a pee. and as you'll all know, on a juicefeast that means at least once an hour. roll on solid foods...
today we went out for lunch to wagamama. i figured it's somewhere YummyHubby can have his beloved stinky fish soup and i can have fresh juice and since we don't get to eat out, or even together, much these days we should make an effort. however... i also somehow managed to order myself a miso soup. it's white miso, so slightly less full on. i picked out the seaweed and tofu and just drank the broth. i know it was really naughty but, you know what, i really enjoyed it and i felt completely full for the rest of the afternoon, which was the first time in three weeks, so if for nothing else it was worth it!
a couple of things to note from the last few days. i did my first herbal enema. i bought some slippery elm from neal's yard as i'd read in ben's blog that he'd used it. good lord. do people actually drink this stuff? man, just having it in the enema bag was stinking out the bathroom. gross. anyway... i don't know if it helped, but as it's supposed to be good for you i will continue to use it once a week or so. i have some red clover, too, which i originally bought for YummyHubby to drink as an infusion to help with his eczema, but i've read that it's good for enemas, too. it's a strong detox herb so why not?
i've been trying hard to get more greens in, and less fruit. i've noticed furry teeth over the past couple of days. it's weird as the front of my teeth feel superclean, smooth, just brushed - all day long. but the backs are totally icky. i've bought a second toothbrush and some more toothpaste to take to work so i can keep that in check.
haven't been able to face the green superfood or zeolite recently. i've upped my bee pollen and honey intake instead. i know they don't achieve the same things but at least there's some superfood going in. i'm also wanting salty foods, so i'm adding a pinch of salt to green juices here and there. also still making my 'thai soup' tea from time to time, which is a great way to get salt.
despite hating celery like very few things on this earth, i've stopped noticing it in my juices. i think perhaps because i'm so heavy-handed with the mint or parsley or sometimes limes in my green juices, but i just don't even know it's there. this is good.
are we caught up? cool. love to all x
