Ode to Orange Juice, And Other Thoughts

I tried blogging earlier today, and I just kept getting a blank page. So - here's the whole day's update for you!!

Day SEVEN!!!

I woke up this morning overjoyed that I was going to be drinking something NEW. Fresh Squeezed ORANGE JUICE! I went through 7 oranges by 11:30, and 11 today. It tasted *fantastic*. I took some with me on all of my errands this morning - orthodontist appt, ballet, target. . . but, i was fading so fast -the orange juice was not sustaining me at all. By the time I was checking out of Target, I was shaking and felt really dizzy. (It's amazing that the lemonade really does give you all that you need - that was apparent today!) I was almost worried about driving home. I decided on the drive that I was going to need to eat something. I made myself some more orange juice when I arrived home, and then went about preparing the vegetable soup for supper. The smell was intoxicating (a bit misleading, since it was incredibly bland!) and I finally partook of solid food at about 2:00 - with the vegetables not even completely cooked. I decided - why wait?? ;-) I'm feeling pretty good now, although weaker than I did all week. . .? I'm thrilled that I've slimmed down a bit - my face is looking pretty good - not completely clear, but I have hope that it will continue. My organs are certainly a lot cleaner than before and I'm hoping that as time goes on, I'll continue to see the benefits of my cleanse. Milo and I will be doing another one in the not so distant future, and I am **SO** happy to hear that so many of you are looking into it! I know that you won't regret it. My one lesson that I learned is to be careful of who you tell . . . some people are so interested and supportive, and some just think I've completely lost it!!

Last day's stats:

Weight: 111, not a lot lighter, but slimmer!
Face: I'd say 70% better.
Teeth: I never measured, but they've continued to get healthier!!

COMPLETELY WORTH IT. And now - I know that I can do *ANYTHING* that I decide to do. That was worth it all by itself.
