Days 3 and 4. There's "Roadblock" and there's "Utter Train Wreck"

What's a girl to do?

We were finishing up the very last rounds of judging this bleeping national recipe contest - naturally this meant two days of eating, eating, eating. Even at small bites, it was a lot.

There's being flexible. But this was derailment.
Now... my life isn't always like this. But between the two days there wasn't much juice:bites ratio; and being the kinda gal I am I do think there has to be  *some* boundaries before you call something a juice feast.

So what I've decided to do is to make a sort of 'weights and balances' list of rules to follow as to what will constitute my juice feast. You can find it here. I think for any of us with real, actual lives, this is probably beneficial - it occurs to me that unless one has complete control issues or is blessed enough to work at a health and wellness center like Tree of Life or is doing this vocationally, there is going to need to be flexibility. Without the guidelines, though, flexibility can turn into ghetto-claiming-credit-for-something-you-didn't-do-or-did-half-arsed.

Today's Menu:

• 1 Cup Fresh Juice Base
• 1 cup the stuff I made for tomorrow
• another cup the stuff I made for tomorrow (tune in next time!)

assorted other:

• You don't want to know. Seriously. But in all fairness more than 50% was raw fruits and veg, so at least there's that.

OBSERVATIONS

I didn't track today because I couldn't face the facing of the music.

MUSINGS and HINTS

• Life doesn't always cooperate with one's hopes and dreams, no matter how small they may be.
• My garden is busting - I even got 6 new potatoes out of it in random places when weeding. Thank-you-kiddos!
• Make your own list of guidelines - allow for some derailment, and make a plan to how to get back on the horse if the train is unavailable due to destruction....
• Flexibility only goes so far.
