30 Day Juice Cleanse

So:  I had written a journal entry for this, but by the time I went to save it, it told me I had to sign in to do that, so I lost the whole thing.  No big deal, this edition will just be much more brief I am embarking on a 45 day Odyssey on Wednesday, May 21st.  I intend to do a 30 day juice cleanse, followed by a raw food diet for 15 days.  This is a major undertaking, given my compulsive eating habits in the past, but I am hoping that it will rejuvenate me and provide me with spiritual connection and insight.  If my body is a temple for the Holy Spirit, then I have some work to do!   This isn't my first cleanse.  I did a 14 day juice cleanse back in February, and I felt better than ever before by the end.  Increased mental clarity, more energy, better/deeper sleep and a more balanced emotional state were some of the 'side effects' that I experienced!   I've done mono food fasts here and there, and I've done the Naturopathic Brown Rice Diet in the past.  I've also taken many herbal tonic formulas over the years, so I can do this cleanse without over-taxing my organs of elimination or going into a serious healing crisis.  Or so I think!  Perhaps we will see what this cleanse has in store for me. I managed to lose over 80 lbs and have kept it off for about 5 years.  I'm currently 30-40 lbs overweight.  The problem with this is that I'm a herbalist and am itching to open my own practice, but people want to see a vibrant (skinny) and healthy practitioner.  I am healthy and energetic regardless of my size, but most people still equate healthy with skinny!  I know plenty of skinny people who are in much poorer health than I am, but that's another story for another day.   That's it for now; I will update soon!
