Rain and Cleansing

It has been raining here off and on, mostly on, for over 18 hours....not a heavy rain, just a steady one. Which is great for all of the plants, it is very green around here.....nice to see in this high desert area. The mountain supposedly are getting 6 inches of snow. I am happy to see the rain, I enjoy a rainy day, and appreciate the cooler temperatures. I love blue skies and sunshine as well, but the sun here is very hot, making it difficult to do much yardwork, etc. I am going to try and get up earlier during the summer.....but I go to bed rather late so it's going to take a conscious effort. My normal schedule is up later, to bed later...I have never been a morning person.

Got up a bit late today, so didn't make a green juice this morning. Made the Master Cleanse drink with 4 lemons, 4 limes and 4 oranges, and sweetened with half maple syrup and half raw honey. It is quite good. Glad to have something to fall back on as I don't always have time to make juice. I will make a green juice this evening. Good to mix it up as well.....helps to keep it interesting.

After having my fiber drink late yesterday afternoon, and then taking 2 herbal laxative capsules before bed, I woke up to my usual bodily rhythm of having a bm shortly after arising. That felt good, and now I feel clean and empty down there rather than backed up and toxic. Need to have today's fiber drink right now....no postponing it. And start drinking some juice. Yesterday I was in a crabby mood, and close to messing up....not tempted by food so much as just veering towards that messing it up, self-sabotage edge. I am not sure if I am drinking enough juice. I have been having only about 3 quarts of juice per day, and was feeling a bit hungry last night, so had a little maple syrup, and then a little raw honey, just to take the edge off. It was late and I didn't want to go to all of the trouble and mess of making juice. Wasn't sure if I was going to fall asleep easily when I went to bed, but even though it seemed like I might have some trouble, it didn't take long before I was asleep...and I slept well, though I was a bit chilly and could have used another blanket on the bed. But I didn't mess up, and today I am fine. On course and feeling much better.

Today has been a good day. Will make my green juice this evening.....and oh yeah, weightloss has been up 1 pound, down 1/2 and down one pound....so slowly but surely I will reach my goal.
And this afternoon...just feeling good....that wonderful juice feasting high. Glad it's back...
