DAY 4

Observations

• This morning I had a thin white coating on the tongue, but it seems lighter than before.
• Lips are still chapped.  I noticed this usually happens when I've done a fast of some sorts.  I can't remember the exact words, but I believe its the toxins coming out from inside the body (which also caused the white tongue)
• First workday:   All felt normal although at the end of the day I felt a little stronger urge to drink some juice (I did bring about 4 cups/2 pints of OJ to work and drank it in 2 sessions.
• At work, I  get a half hour for lunch (makes for a shorter day), so I'm in a little rush when I drink.  I think psychologically I need to slow down and not rush (in my head).  The reason I mention this is is I feel a little gas afterwards...and I've only had OJ the whole day!  I've noticed this before when I've just eaten a couple of bananas or apples at work....simple lunch, but still the gas inside. 
  
  Basically, I've concluded I need to mentally slow down before and after eating.  Or perhaps its working afterwards that causes the gas.
  
  A home, I drink my juice roughly the same amount of time...but I don't get that gas feeling.
• I'm having odd dreams again.  Sleeping a little better.  I slept from 8:30pm-6am.
• A raw vegan named Peter Ragnar says dreams are "toxins" of our brain.  Anyway, I did have some nonsense dreams (which I usually don't have or remember):
  
  Note:  I don't have premonition dreams...my dreams haven't told the future so far!
  
  Here's the dream:
  
  I dreamt aliens were coming down from space and overtaking the earth.  It was kind of a like a scene from a bad sci-fi movie.  Ships were landing and the aliens put us to work (basically doing some nonsense work).
  
  Oooo-h! 
  
  

I am enjoying reading your experiences, thank you for sharing them.


Last night I dreamt I was riding on the back of a flying dragon. 

Hehe, thanks 6pak!  And thanks for the tips.  Unfortunately, I'm not getting a lot of sun this week (because of work and it's cloudy and a little cold right now) but hopefully I can make up for it late in the week when I have some time off.

Yup, the valencias were indeed organic and from Earl's.  He has great sales as well (the valencias I had were the going rate at the time by the way).   I'll be getting more tomorrow (a friend picks up boxes and we split the produce).

Hi Emi!  That's funny about the flying dragon - cool!



DAY 6-7

• Sleep has been good lately.  I'm sleeping early and waking up early.  Am still waking up before my alarm clock.  I dreamt that one of my favorite songs in the past, Sukiyaki, was playing loudly.
• Finished all my oranges and the mandarins today!
• Energy level is good.
• I find I prefer drinking my juice using my mouth instead of a straw.  It feels more natural and the juice tastes better.  I'm guessing because more of the tongue feels the juice. 
  
  I had been trying to use my straw when drinking the juice (to just lessen the sugars touching the teeth), but had forgotten the straw to work one time.  So, I drank the juice from the jar and it felt good.  I felt I was drinking and going with the right timing for swallowing as well.
   

i want some cherimoyas tomorrow at the sf farmers market, any chance youll buy me some then ill come down have a picnic with you they close at 2 , how long are you oranging?

Day 8 - Post-Fast

What I had to break the fast yesterday:

• Morning:   water
• Noon:  OJ
• Afternoon:  2 apples.  These tasted alright. I noticed the nice apple smell as I was cutting them.
• Evening:  greens and avocado.  Wow, the greens looked so ....green! LOL.  It's just after drinking OJ, I hadn't seen live greens in a while ...it's almost as if looking at green sunshine.
  
  The greens and avo tasted, well, bland.
  
  So I drank OJ a couple of hours later.  LOL.    Yum!
  
  

Went walking the following day for a few hours (drank OJ the first half of the day and had a salad afterwards).  Beautiful day so I was able to soak in a little sun.

I agree with RGG, Rosal you look stunning post oj fast / feasting:)

Way to go , Rosal

Thanking you for posting sweetie, I've really enjoyed hearing about them(makes me want to join you now:).

 

Hey Harley, you are an inspiration for being a bargain-magnet (among other things)!  And I'm with ya' -- they're out there...

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I recently juiced some Navel oranges because I ran out of Valencias...wow -- they have even more water!!  But, it wasn't as sweet of course...

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I'm really loving fresh orange juice right now...I drink it everyday....Since I'm eating other stuff as well, energy is great but am falling sleeping much quicker (I guess because I'm digesting a lot late in the day).

I'm ordering at least another case for next week.

I want to do more OJ fasts in the future so I'll read up more on that to make sure I'm eliminating toxins efficiently, maybe watch sugar levels or what have you,  etc. 

So, Garfield22, perhaps we'll be OJ feasting/fasting buddies in the future. 

RGG, you're an inspiration!!
