day of The Juice

Today is done, and I have to admit, I am glad. Lots and lots and lots of freshly juiced vegetables today. Lots. Think, a quart at a time, and several times. That's a lot of juice, folks. Although my body is not responding and feeling better yet, my vegetable crisper drawers are a lot emptier, so that must be a good thing!

Actually, today was a day when I could use support, and I appreciated knowing that a lot of people out there (aka, you) care about me and this journey! Most of the day today, I was just exhausted and worn out, and even took a nap. It feels like this must be part of the road I need to walk, but geez, how gross is that? I want to be vibrant and full of energy, and out playing!

In reality, however, my workout today consisted of, oh, about a minute of half-hearted jumping on the trampoline. Sigh.

I also had a follow up visit to learn the results from the sleep study that I did last month. Turns out, I have sleep apnea, the mild to moderate variety. Evidently, this translates, for me, into having my sleep disrupted an average of 24 times per hour. Yikes. Small wonder I don't feel well rested in the morning. I am scheduled to get a CPAP machine next month, which is supposed to treat the apnea 100%. This will be great, as long as my hyper-sensory self doesn't implode from the stress of having something strapped to my face all night. As you may be able to tell, I have some misgivings. On the other hand, my dad reports that using a CPAP has been life transforming for him (he no longer even craves a Sunday afternoon nap!). My body's state of affairs is poor enough that I am willing to give it a try, and even hope for the best.

Real food tomorrow! translation = no juice = happy Jenny

May the Force be with me, and with you.
