Today is the last day of my 92-day juice fast! yay!
I feel really, really good; very strong and healthy. I've lost 57 pounds, which is wonderful. But I'm also very glad it's almost over -- I miss eating.
But I don't miss the way eating made me feel -- heavy, heartburn-y, unable to sleep at night, and out of control. So, starting tomorrow, I'm going to ease myself into a nutritarian diet. I don't want to lose all this healthy progress. Yes, I want to eat again, very much! But I also want this to continue -- the weight loss, the energy, the healthy glow, and the peace that comes from knowing I can do and am doing something good for my body for a change.

what I'm drinking
It turns out most of my favorite fruit juices have pineapple in them. This one I made tonight -- yummy!
1/2 a pineapple
1/4 a lemon
2 cups red grapes
Soooooo delicious.
I also made this for tomorrow morning, and I had a sip to test it:
2 apples
2 pears
2 cups red grapes
Oh, yes, most of my favorite juices also have grapes in them :)

what I drank today
I've lost 55 pounds so far!
Today I had two vegetable juices and a fruit juice. My vegetable juices are pretty much the same:
Base
4 apples
6 carrots
6 or 7 stalks of celery
1 cucumber
1/4 a lemon or lime
8 oz red leaf lettuce or spinach
Then I add one of the following: a slice of red or green cabbage, 1/2 a bell pepper (any color), or a tomato.
This morning I made two veggie juices -- one with red cabbage and one with green cabbage.
I also had a fruit juice -- 2 pears, 2 apples, 1/4 of a lemon, and 4 oz spinach (spinach changes the color of fruit juice, but not the taste, and it's VERY good for you. :)
Oh, and I made another fruit juice for tomorrow morning: 3 carrots, 2 oranges, 1/4 of a lime, and 4 oz of spinach. Carrot may be a vegetable, but it goes into a fruit juice at least once a week because it's so good for you and a little sweet.
Not ALL my fruit juices have greens or sour citrus in them; it just so happens that all of today's did.
