Day 23

As far as the fasting goes, I suppose you could say that I have blown it....I have fallen off the wagon and I have eaten food. It happened at a shower for a dear friend and she had made a raw food dish and was so delighted because she knew that I would LOVE it and she couldn't wait for me to taste it. I didn't have the heart to turn it down. And that started my poor little palate hankering for the texture of real food again. So I proudly was on a liquid diet for 18 days. Since that time I have primarily benn juicing breakfast lunch, snack and then eating a tiny meal of salad and a seared piece of fish or a vegetable dish. I have not lost another pound but it appears that I haven't gained one either. I think eating a primarily raw food diet will remain my lifestyle from here forward. I do not tend to overindulge on healthy raw food as I would with a big Mexican dinner or something heavenly like garlic mashed potatoes. I am staying away from white foods right now, knowing that I have a weakness for these things.
I have another 21 days until I go to New York for my "big deal." Although I have blown my "40 Days in Juicing Jungle," My intention now is to pick back up and build momentum over these next days. I plan to alternate between the juicing of fresh vegetables and fruits and the lemonade of the master cleanse for the mainstay of my sustanance.......I will share that I never felt physically and mentally better than I did when I was not eating food. I felt vibrant, alive, clear, empowered, light and hopeful. That is why I think if I just pick back up an sort of start fresh from here, I will be the best I can be when I arrive in NYC. I am certain I can't make my ultimate goal now, but I want to feel like I did while I was not eating again! I still need to drop 20 pounds in 21 days, but I guess that just is impossible.....any thoughts?
