So I decided to do a 24 hour juice feast. I had already started it unintentionally by making a melon juice 4pm monday and then drinking Kombucha all night and not eating. I wanted to see if I could do a full 24 hours. I am notoriously bad at fasting so I was very forgiving with myself. here's how the day panned out today: woke up, had juice of 3 oranges. 11am had green juice (which was actually made in the blender and strained) 1pm more of the green juice 3pm melon juice (kombucha tea some… Continue

today i tested myself physically and i succeeded. i felt a lot of energy. i walked (hiked really) down to the farmer's market with one of my dogs. we got a whole bunch of greens and lettuce and some tomatoes from the early greenhouse grower. it was a good hike up those hills.

later today we worked on getting some supplies for the worm bin. we are going to make one so we can put some compost into it. plus, worms are really cool and i want to do it with my students next year.

my stomach was acting up over the weekend from getting stuck in a traffic jam with only dried fruits. it is finally better, but I am craving fresh fruit.

here is my food log today:
breakfast: lemon water, green smoothie (mango, peach, kale, almond milk, hemp), banana

lunch was 2 pumpkin seed crackers, a raw veggie burger, arugula and spouts. cherries and this pu… Continue
