Juices, Supplements etc. in order of consumption
1 quart celery, spinach, pear, mint

1 quart romaine, onion, garlic, carrot, cucumber, celery, cilantro, hemp, kelp
I have been craving more kelp. I have been putting 1/2 tsp in instead of 1/4

1 quart spinach, strawberry, pear, cucumber
1/2 lb spinach, 1/2 pint strawberries, 1 pear, 4 stalks celery
This was OK. It sounded so good to me and then it only tasted OK.

I couldn't quite finish the 3rd quart. I only left a little though.

Weight
Starting 173.5
Today 157.5

Total of 16 lbs

Sleep
6.5 hours

Exercise
5 min rebounder

Physically
Same ol' same ol' with the stomach. I cut out the oranges to see if that is what did it. I was thinking about it and then Hanlie suggested it too so I figured I should. Of course it is my favorite tasting juice. Oh well.

I also have some really bad gas...it doesn't smell too good either. Eeew. I am not used to that!

Positive changes
Smooth skin
Losing weight
I brushed a skin tag off my neck with the skin brush
I feel like I have more energy internally

Detox
Lots of mucus
Rash along hairline
Dry hands
Coated tongue
Geographic tongue

Emotionally
Today was a good day emotionally. I felt centered and productive.

Cravings
None. We had company and they ate pizza and I didn't even want it. Of course it if was the kind of pizza I like that might have been a different story.

Trash Bag Tango
I had a big day with this. I can't tell you what it is yet though. I trying to take a picture but all I have is my cell phone camera which didn't do it justice. I will keep trying and keep you posted. Sorry to be such a tease, well not really. ;o)

Meditation
I did my meditation a little different today. I have these Water Crystal Oracle cards from Masaru Emoto. I randomly pulled a card which was the Brain card. Kindness was the word associated with it. I held the card and meditated on kindness for a while. Then I put the card under my water for 2 hours and then I drank it.

Ramblings
I found this adorable video on someone's blog yesterday and now I can't figure out who it was. I want to share it with you because it is just so cute. Apparently this woman found an injured lion and nursed it back to health. When it was healthy enough it went into a zoo or something. The video is the woman being reunited with the lion and you just can't believe it!

The Global Juice feast is only days away now and I am really excited for it to start. I have been making all kinds of friends on the Global Juice Feast site. It is such great fun and I love it. I started a group for Illinois juice feasters. It would be so fantastic if there were some people in my area that were going to be a part of this juice feast.

The picture I posted today is of Costa Rica. Ever since that Frederic Patenaude started posting about living and vacationing and running his online business from Costa Rica I have been wanting to go there. The weather sounds fantastic and I want to check it out. Just thought I would share.

Hubby is waiting for me so I am keeping it short. Have a great night!

Oh I loved that lion video. I'm a big cat person (we have three) and he was just such a CAT in that video!

I'm thinking of ordering The Journey and A New Earth. Is the latter worth reading in your opinion?

I lived in costa rica for a summer when I was 19-20. It was amazing. Costa Rica changes you and you never want to leave. :)

I'm so jealous you have a rebounder. I think I'm going to go buy one tomorrow hehehe :)

Hanlie, I think those books are fantastic. I recommend them highly!

Ben, You lived in Costa Rica?!?! Wow, that is so cool. If I didn't have kids I would take off tomorrow! I envy people who do that sort of thing with kids. I am not ready for that yet.

I got my rebounder at a fitness store for $30. The kids love it too. They jump on it while watching tv and they play on it all the time.

Have a great day!
