Day 9

I felt great today! I had my sunrise juice (20 oz), then a coconut water with pear, grape and apple juice, then an awesome spicy green juice for lunch, lemon-lime crushes throughout the day, some herbal tea and another green juice for dinner. I did eye the avocados and was wondering if they were mine or Eliza's. Googled whether or not eating an avocado would mean I broke the juice fast. Didn't get really clear information on that. The nice thing about today is that I thought LESS about food and wasn't that hungry. I think that yesterday was the day after an 11 mile bike ride and perhaps I was genuinely hungry and hadn't replenished my calories properly. I don't know, but I'll try to stay vigilant and pay close attention. My class last night with Ken was super - twice we meditated and the group seems quite nice. I will be spending every Wednesday evening with them. I shared about my "food addiction" and also about my juice fast. It's a bit like an AA meeting, but with a more Wellspringian spiritual bent. It will be helpful for me as I continue on this journey. Today, while raining heavily, I walked nearly 4 miles over at Wilson Park. I thought I would try to walk between heavy rains, but ended up being caught in one. Oh, well, it was refreshing. I did yoga with Amy at St. Davids - what a great feeling! The class was an hour and a half and I was feeling really good. Once my stomach continues to shrink, I'll be able to bend forward across my thighs again - that will be so nice:) I thought I might have a difficult time making four loaves of banana bread, so I made it in my mom's kitchen so my kitchen wouldn't smell like baked banana bread. It wasn't so bad, until it came out of the oven and I had to take the loaves out of the tins. Some was left on the bottom and all I could think was how delicious grabbing that little bit with nuts and chocolate chips would be. I DID NOT...
