Day 11-decided to "photo document"



I slept like a rock after about 3 am. Before that I had to get up a few times to use the bathroom. I actually slept until 11am! Woke up sore, and not very interested in juice. I luckily had some pineapple/globe grape mix that I had premade from last night. I sipped it slowly and tried to remember to chew. I felt better after a few hours. Opened a coconut and sipped on the water as I feel thirsty and water isn't cutting it. Made a thick mix of finely ground psyllium husk with some juice to make it palatable. I was very surprised how decent is was! I can't usually tolerate psyllium, I used a bit of the juice below and mostly water. I also ground the husk in the coffee grinder to get it super fine.
Made a blender full of juice:
pear, green apple, fuji apple, 1/2 cuke, 1 head celery, 1 lb globe seeded grapes.
I am using 1 lb of spinach for this but will blend in 2 lots so the greens don't oxidize as much.
Also had 16 oz of chick pea miso put in blender with fresh scallions from garden, yummy!
Another 16oz of broth before bed. I made a quick veg broth with oat groats and then strained it and it was lovely. I have been taking "Avena Sativa" which is oats, so I realized I can use the oats that I have to make tea and broths. Duh! Oats are soothing to mind and body. They are good for depression, anxiety, irritability, hormones, sexual desire! They are also soothing to the digestive track. I also had 10 oz of herbal tea (dandelion, licorice, and other herbs with oats)
When trying to go to sleep the last few nights I am "haunted" by some of the really dumb things I have done in my life. I keep wishing I could go back and change them, or at least forget them and forgive myself. Then I realize those things got me to who and where I am today so maybe they were necessary. I think about people that I judge for their actions and I then think about how others, especially my family might perceive me through my actions and I feel frustrated and ashamed. Those things are a very limited part of who you are and only a small minded person would believe they know a person just by observing some isolated events. It is one of the things I really do not like about myself and I always feel that others do it to me. Weird. Well, now is the time for changes!
