Juice Fast~Day 4

I feel SOOO much better today than I did yesterday! I'm down 8 pounds since I started the fast, and have way more energy (though I'm yawning a bit right now...time for more juice, perhaps?) I had a lot of energy at 3:15 this morning when I got up to fix Bill & Taylor breakfast and get them on the road. I even contemplated staying up (though we hadn't gone to sleep until midnight-thirty!) I went back to bed at 5am, though. It just feels strange to be puttering around the house that early. I need to get over that...but I haven't yet. I felt much more groggy when I got up the second time, though. We overslept for church-woke up at 10 and should have been walking out the door by then. Ooops. Weather is strange this weekend, though (storm and tornado warnings) so I was debating whether we should leave the house, anyway.
I talked to Dad & Nonny this morning for over 2 hours about the juice fast, the book Quantum Touch I'm reading post Reiki level 1 training, and what I want to be when I 'grow up'. Luckily I had my bluetooth, so I was able to do a lot of chores while we were talking :-)
I waited until our conversation was over so that I could do oil pulling before I drank any juice. I can feel myself detoxing thru my tongue (thick coating...just feels strange and I have to brush multiple times throughout the day). Nonny said that her gum disease is completely 100% better since she started oil pulling after I told them about it 6 months ago. Amazing! We also talked about how and what to discuss with Bill and my teenage daughters regarding sex. We'll save that for a later post, though.
It's mid-afternoon and I'm going to get back to some chores, and maybe do some yoga. My body feels like it really wants to do some good stretching and moving. I'm not hungry today at all, really, and wasn't hungry yesterday, either. Yay :)

The power of love to change bodies is legendary, built into folklore, common sense, and everyday experience. Love moves the flesh, it pushes matter around.... Throughout history, "tender loving care" has uniformly been recognized as a valuable element in healing. ~Larry Dossey
