30 rocks

Before Roscivs got sick I made "new month resolutions", one per month. To incorporate a new behavior, do it for 30 days. This month I had enough energy and incentive to try a new month resolution again. I am lucky; I made it: for January, I have juiced every day!
   Yesterday, in fact, I did a one-day juice fast. I ate only juice. I even managed to make a tasty savory dinner juice.

♣ Dinner Juice: asparagus (4 stalks), bell pepper (1, yellow), bok choy (1, baby), cilantro (handful), cucumber (3, peeled), garlic (1 clove), ginger (0.25 in.), lime (1, peeled), green onion (5), parsley (handful)

For my dear readers who might be :-? or :-7 about this juicing thing, well, I was too. But
 a) it is part of the GAPS protocol I'm following
 b) St. Pear (my doctor) kept recommending it
 c) a friendquaintance (a friend of Roscivs' from Jr. High) started juicing daily (without any particular health need), and then
 d) I heard about it from my dearest L. Fractal

and it's totally working for me.
   I think it will be easy for me to keep at this. I'm going to maintain my daily breakfast juice and escalate to a juice fast every Tuesday.
   I have had more energy this month — more enough to do a new New Month Resolution for February. I haven't decided what.

Wintry Day Summary

Today I woke (11am), then I juiced (celery, beet, carrot, apple), then I bundled (-1ºC) and walked (1.5 mi) to my phototx (255 mJ).
   I walked home (1.5 mi) with a stop in at the local apothecary to buy bentonite clay and kelp powder. I add these, in rotation, to my nightly baths.

Potion #009

♣ Today's juice was apple (3), no egg yolk. I'm afflicted with a poison|bug. My 100.2ºF body is eliminating from both ends, resulting in 6 pounds lost.
