Day 4 Juice Feast

Whew... finally a chance to sit down. Today has been a busy day off--drive way east to a disappointing farmer's market, drive way west to another farmer's market, walk a mall looking for a juicer, stop at 5 more stores looking for a juicer, go shopping for groceries, clean the poopy bird carpets, change the bedding, flip and rotate the king size mattress, wash 4 loads of laundry, clean out the cupboards of sad food, clean out the fridge of sad stuff and raw that won't last, clean the fridge and the freezer shelves, reorganize the fridge, take out 4 bags of trash, clean the dehydrator trays and mesh sheets, store the dehydrator and food processor, sweep and mop the floors, and...make 3 pints of juice that took entirely too much squeezing. It was like I couldn't stop...

Today I had:
4 pints carrot, spinach, apple
1 pint coconut water with green powder and MSM
3 pints pear, celery, spinach
(and that, once I drink these last two pints I just made, is more than a gallon, finally!!!!)

Decided I really need another juicer at home. Took the cheapo to work and am doing juice in the blender and nut milk bag here.... I can't do that for 3 months. It just takes too long and I have a full time job and all the household stuff to do. Still having a hard time deciding on a juicer because the low RPM masticating juicers seem to take a long time and a lot of effort according to reviews...although they do leafy greens well.

The Breville juice fountain has good reviews and is super quick, but I'm unsure about leafy greens. Plus, the Champion and most any juicer have teeny juice cups, while the Breville has a 50 ounce juice container.

Felt good all day, but now my feet are tired (understandably) and my stomach is gurgling -- first time that's happened so far on the feast.

Not really craving any foods, but I do get a hankering for them if I consciously think about it. Like if I drive by McDonald's and think "hmmm, what would a cheeseburger taste like?" then I kinda want one, but as far as true cravings without my mind entertaining the thoughts to begin with, I've had none.

Oh, this morning I woke up and realized I hadn't dreamed in quite a while, like weeks or a month even. I may have dreamed, but I have absolutely zero recollection of it, which is odd for me. So I drift off back to sleep for an hour...and have a dream!!

Also, driving around, I had a very clear thought that no animal should have to give up its life just for me to eat it when there is so much other food available. In an emergency situation, I'd do what I had to do, but that's survival, not pleasure. Why should I kill a cow or chicken or pig just so I can indulge my taste buds? It's just not right to me.

And with that... I'm off

Lord, I pray that my addictions to the wrong foods will be completely broken during this process. Heal me, please...
