Happy Easter everyone. Well, I indulged a bit today and took the holiday off from my usual marathon juicing. I wasn't really planning on a vacation but it just worked out that way. See, in order to get to yoga on time I only was able to make two juices at home, both of which happened to be the fruity ones. By the time I got home, cooked an awesome (not that I tasted it, but it looked divine if I may say so myself) Easter brunch for Michael, I really just wanted to go outside and enjoy the weather rather than spend another hour juicing. So I was a very bad JFer and played hookie and made NO green juices!! I did walk out to Pure and get one greener juice, but it also had fruit in it. Oh well, I definitely don't recommend it, because I felt a little unstable all day -- not hungry unstable, but like I had had two much sweet and nothing balancing it out. Sleep was also restless and light, but I feel fine today and figure it is all part of this big experiment; pushing the boundaries and seeing what happens -- kinda fun, actually!

I am also teeming with ideas for my upcoming wedding in August. My excitement to plan something other than my juices for the day and when I am going to shop for juices, etc., etc., is so strong.

My visions for the future are also super clear and feel very possible. One thing that I have gained --other than all the nutrients from the juices on this cleanse-- is confidants and clarity. I think I needed this challenge to get over my fears around future decision making (namely, whether or not to have kids, buy property, where to go professionally -- you know all that "adult" stuff :).

JFing has turned out to be such a rewarding experience in so many more ways than I imagined before starting! With only 7 days left (it went by SO fast), I look forward to just enjoying myself, reflecting on what all of this means, and getting clear on how I want to proceed from here now that I have pushed the "reset" button many times during the course of this amazing journey!

Many thanks to you all for listening, sharing and lovingly embracing me.
