Day 6

Happy Monday! Today is day 6 of my juice fast (feast as one website called it) I am still going strong! I had one of the best runs I have ever had this weekend! I also have been going to bed at 9 or 10 and being completely exhausted! I wake up at about 7 or 730 by myself and I dont even need coffee to clear my head! It is fantastic! I have my morning warm lemon water and get going! It feels great! I can't believe I have lasted this long! I am proud of myself for the accomplishment. This weekend was fun and full of activities! Friday I went rock climbing....well it was more like scaling a wall on rocks. but it was so fun! I was really sore saturday morning when I woke up! Saturday I had to run 5 miles so I got up and watched an episode of Desperate Housewives (yes I am finally catching up with the seasons) and drank a juice and lemon tea. Then I went for my 5 mile run! I did a 8:40/mile and the best part was....i wasnt even tired! :-) I had planned on meeting Jo at the open market at 12 to uy more produce to juice because I had run out. So my post run juice was not as tasty as the other and went down kinda hard....hahahaha! She was running late so I decided to walk to home plus and get some tea I had been wanting to get and that they only sold at home plus. So I walked about another 4 miles on saturday and met jo at the market for some delicious produce! After leaving the market I was feeling kinda grumpy because I needed to have another rush of calories so I went home and juiced. I invited my friend Jessy (korean name jeongbae) to enjoy it with me. I blended in some forzen pineapple and spinach to make it a little thicker and it tasted like ice cream! it was so so so so good! After drinking that juice I went to Big sale mart to pick up some celery and greens that I couldnt get at the market and then hung out at minsus shop for awhile! It was great! I went home and had another juice and decided to go to the sauna! It was fantastic! I got a full body scrub and facial! (of course it cost only $25) I also sat in the steam room and hot pools....it made my body very very very happy! I went home and went to bed because I was completely dead!! When i woke up on sunday I felt energized! It was my cross training day so I decided to take a walk to the lake and starbucks to have some herbal tea! I walked 4 miles and journaled at starbucks for about an hour! It was a beautiful morning! I then went with Jo to cafe Hau so we could show them how to bake the cupcakes!! :-) It was a fun day! I really enjoyed being there and making new friends! The best part is they had an amazing juicer! So I made some delicious juice and could enjoy the day with new friends! Around 7 I was starting to get really hungry and being around baked goods and watching people enjoying them was starting to get to me so I decided it was time for me to go home! I went home and made some delicious rainbow juice (actually I drank 2 because I was feeling extra hungry) and then drank some bed time tea. I tucked myself into bed at 9 and I was out by 915! What a great weekend! I woke up this morning with a massive head ache but I got out of bed and drank somelemon water to wake up and had some juice. It was good and energizing. I took a shower and actually had time to facetime with mom and dad before I left for school! I have to confess I am wearing my workout pants at school today but the best part is today I have been complimented on being fashionable because I am wearing my north face jacket! I love Korea! After school today I think I am going to go to boxing! I am looking forward to that. I haven't been in awhile and I was going strong for a month and hoping I can get back into it! Ah there is a test today! Rice cakes...my co workers have just put out some fresh warm rice cakes and they smell amazing! I decided I am going to go home during 4th period and make some more juice. So now I am sipping on my lunch juice so that I am not tempted to eat any of these delicious cake!! :-) I watched a documentary called "Fat, sick and dead" about a man who did 60 days of straight juicing and how he changed his whole body and is now leaner and healthy! :-) I am downloading another documentary called "food inc." and I am going to watch it today! :-) OK time to get back to work! xoxox
