Infared Sauna: 35 mins
Walk: About 2 miles
Dinner Party with neighbors: This was my first time being invited over to somebody else place for dinner while JFing. Michael forgot (?) when we were invited that I was not eating solids. So we forewarned them not to be offended that I would not be eating (so tough --they are Greek and make the most wonderful, fresh, wholesome food!) but bringing my juice instead. As beautiful as the food looked and smelled, I was really at peace with just my juice. I brought down "bleeding hearts" and put it in my wine glass so I could feel included and fancy too!
Baby Time: 2hrs -- NO, I am not pregnant, but these same friends have the cutest 5 month old that I got to hold and kiss and eat up for two hours. Actually me playing with the baby and not eating was a blessing for the parents, because for the first time since she was born they were able to enjoy an uninterrupted dinner. See, we JFer's are such a blessing to the world! :)

Today was the BEST day since starting the JF. I had colonic clients back to back all day with just one two hour break which I used to treat myself and sauna. Energy, spirits, clarity, mind, body were working seamlessly together. I did not feel my usual dip in energy at 4 o'clock, nor did I feel much hunger or cravings. I was on FIRE and loving life despite the rain and misery outside.

On days like this I feel like I could just juice for life and never go back to all the complexities and complications that come along with eating solid foods. JFing just feels so easy, so right and so GOOD!

Maybe I am feeling so strongly about this because of my dream last night? I dreamt that I was at a family dinner while JFing, but could not help myself and ate a piece of bread without anyone looking. One piece turned into two, three, four pieces. I remember feeling out of control, similarly to how I feel in real life with food (only at night) -- this feeling of deprivation, like I am never getting enough until it's too late and I feel sick. In the dream I am doing this and immediately my whole body begins to swell up, as though I am having an allergic reaction to the bread. And then the regret sets in, just like in real life.......hum, seems like I am definitely still working on this demon. But I am so thankful that my dream world is gently affirming the fact that JF is what I need to be doing right now for my self in order to finally let go of these deeply ingrained patterns that are clearly still holding on for dear life.
