Day 30!!

The final day of the juice feast.  Weight today is 62.2kg (137.12lb).  A slight gain, but a fluctuation which I've become used to.

Yesterday I had my normal 4 quarts of green juice.

I feel sad, actually - in a weird way I'm going to miss the simplicity of simply drinking fresh juices each day.  I feel as if I may spoil everything by eating solid food again.

Of course, this isn't the end of the road for juicing and me - I plan to continue to drink fresh juice at least once per day from now on, and I could also see myself drinking juices for a whole day here and there, if I find myself short on time or inspiration to prepare meals, or if I'm simply on my own and not feeling like planning a meal.

Yesterday I spent some time in the kitchen, making a big batch of kraut (great for probiotics), soaking 2 big batches of seeds for fresh sprouts, and I prepared a batch of almond feta, which I plan to sample in a few days' time.  For the next couple of days I'll drink my juices as usual, and later in the day I'll probably nibble on some fresh, juicy fruit and perhaps try a little blended vegetable soup.  After that I'll reduce the number of juices and gradually increase the soup, or perhaps try a fresh green salad.  So basically I'll be consuming the same ingredients, but with the fibre left in.

Later today I'll make some flax crackers.

Tomorrow I'll post my final weight and picture, and post my findings on the nutritional breakdown.

I feel a little flat; surprised I don't feel more elated that I made it through 30 days.  I think I feel I've failed because I didn't do longer.

More tomorrow.
