Sleepless Night

Last night I was unable to sleep well at all. If I didn't know better, I would have thought I was hungry, but that sensation in my stomach was not hunger, but cleansing. Better not to feed it. I didn't have as much juice as I might of yesterday.....wasn't all that hungry and just got too busy, so today is going to be a very juicy day...but I just lay in bed, aware of the sensations in my stomach, and thinking good thoughts about them...they are cleansing sensations, the magic is continuing....just happy thoughts....even as I lay there unable to fall into sleep. And I was tired, and sleepy! So, yeah a bit frustrating, but I never let it bother me as that would only make things worse. When I can't sleep (which isn't often) I find just relaxing and lying peacefully is actually quite restful, and I do my best thinking on those nights. Last night I was too tired for any profound thoughts to come to me, but it was still a good night. I did get a little sleep, but I heard the milk delivery, heard the early birds chirping (I swear they start chirping at 3:30am....for at least a half hour, then they are quiet again til 5 or so. Closed the window, and our bedroom door, and put my arm over my ear.....zzzzz

So! Woke up hungry, had a good bm, weighed myself...a full pound down. ok! Went downstairs, made another lovely cantelope juice. These are different ones now, a bit smaller, so only got about 16 ounces of juice out of it, but it was a bit riper, oranger, and sweeter, the juice was so rich it was almost creamy. Very delicious, and yes, sweeter, but still seems to be fine with me. For some reason a juice of oranges and strawberries seemed to sweet for my system. Made me tired.

So, drank that, took 6 Primal Defense tablets, and then made my green juice of a full bunch of italian parsley, a bit of dandelion greens, fair bit of kale, most of a head of celery, large stalk and head of broccoli, carrots, 4 fuji apples, an orange and a lemon. It didn't make as much as I normally make, but that's okay. It's enough to get me through the day hopefully, til I can get home and make more. I am going to go back to the store and get more of those cantelopes. They are so delish and well priced. Also need more kale, parsley, and soon will need more carrots and apples. Do wish we had another full refrigerator as I don't have much room to store produce, but at least we do have one of those smaller, dorm size ones. It helps.

Feeling good today, good mood, a bit tired, and definitely hungry. Will have to get drinking my juice! No fiber drink til later, I like to take it a while after having the Primal Defense.

My birthday is coming up and we were going to go out for dinner to this new restaurant, which has organic vegan cuisine and raw cuisine, but I am not eating. I may call and see if they can make me some juice... or not....may just have to save this little outing for after my juice feast ends. I am hoping to make at least 60 days, if not 92. 92 would take me through August 30th, as I started May 31st. hmm......one day at a time.
