Juice Feast Day 11 & 12 of (60?)

Good Day Mates!!!

Pretty good days Friday and Saturday. Friday, I worked all day and came home and had some of the rest of my juice prepared for the day. Relatively easy day for me. I feel really good, well nourished and energized. Saturday was another surprisingly easy day for me. I made all fruit smoothies as I was craving this Pineapple, apple and pear smoothie I made Friday. So I made two quarts of it. Nothing but pure sweetness. I also made a quart of orange juice, and a quart of grapefruit juice. I will get back into the greens today(Sunday). In fact, I will make today nothing but green drinks to make up for it. Maybe.

Yesterday, I noticed while running up and down the stairs at my house that my knees were no-longer hurting. No pain at all. When I started this fast I actually had to use the railing while walking up and down the stairs because of sharp pains in both knees with each step. NO MORE PAIN!!!

Last night, took a fundraiser bus ride to the casino. Everyone on the bus was drinking and eating and having fun. I sat alone in my seat with my red cooler and two quarts of juice. A guy asked me if I had "fried chicken" in the bag (I just laughed and said no). I even won a nice bag of mixed candies from a raffle drawing they had on the bus. I said to myself, what am I going to do with all this. Well it was easy. I looked around me and everyone was festively indulging. I just asked the talkative friendly lady in back of me if she wanted some. I will tell you it was like a group of piranhas on a piece of meat, I had no problem getting rid of that bag of candy as the nice church ladies garbled it up with no problem (they did politely ask me three times if I wanted some).

As soon as you get off the bus and walk upstairs there are nothing but restaurants and a really nice buffet (which I had a voucher for). I walked (okay sprinted) by all of them and went straight to the poker room and chained myself to the seat with everyone around me getting drunk until it was time to go. The alcohol smells were horrible. While sitting, I had two green teas with lemon during the five or so hours I was there. No major food drama at all. When I got back on the bus I had some juice waiting for me in my cooler bag and I was fine.

MINOR DRAMA: When I got home from what appeared to be restaurant row at the casino at 3:30 am, I walk in the house (I was all alone) and on the kitchen counter was a large pizza (probably my favorite food other than potato chips) box with square slices inside (yes I looked inside and even smelled it). Standing there all alone, no one watching, by myself, It went through my head what it would be like to garble down a slice or 10 but there was no emotional or physical connection to it. So the drive wasn't there the mind was all alone with it's fabricated drama. Without the body and emotions the mind I'm finding is weak. I'm committed with laser focus.

Today I'm gonna hit the gym and go to the movies. Movies typically mean popcorn extra butter and a large refillable High Fructose Corn Syrup I mean Soda. But today I am going to attempt to sneak a bottle of fresh green Juice to sip on into the theater. If that fails no problem I'll just leave it in the car for when I come out of the theater.
