Well.I did it! 10 full days on straight up LIQUID. I feel.well, its not like there are fireworks going off or unicorns dancing around my apartment, but I feel great that I actually got through it all! Its kind of bittersweet that the 10 days are over its been my main focus, and although its taken up a lot of my time, its been fun to have a big project. I guess this just means I need to come up with a new, even more exciting project.
Its the morning of January 11th now, and I havent eaten any solid food since New Years Eve. Crazytown! Im not rushing to break the fast, though. Yesterday was Day 10, and I woke up this morning (the day Im perhaps breaking the fast) and made myself a lemon water and detox tea just as Ive been doing for the past 10 days. My body likes the liquid nourishment. And you know what? Ill probably make juice today, too.
So let me give you a recap of Day 10.
On Day 10, I woke up early and had a big glass of pear-orange-basil-greens juice that I had made the night before. I was meeting a friend at yoga at 10am so I wanted to have some nourishment in my body before the class. We ended up going to a 60 minute Power Vinyasa class and it was hard! The teacher kept us in poses for longer than Im usually used to, so it felt like a great workout. My energy level was fine to get through the class.
After the yoga class, we grabbed a fresh juice at a local cafe. They didnt have any green juice, but I got one made with apple, pear, orange and celery. It was pretty delicious. On my way home, I picked up ingredients for my last new juice of the juice cleanse! I figured Id go crazy with it and use pineapple. I also bought more almonds to make another batch of almond milk because though this cleanse is over, I LOVE that almond milk and cant get enough of it. Im wondering if you can OD on almond milk. Probably.
For the rest of the day I worked on various projects and had some business calls. I was in really great spirits for the day and it felt really productive, enthusiastic and hopeful.
I drank my pineapple green juice out of a champagne flute to celebrate the last day of my cleanse.
I had another burst of inspiration and motivation in the evening and ended up working until well after midnight! This cleanse has given me some hyper-clarity and motivation, and Ive had a few fun late-nights of working. I know, what a nerd. But really, who doesnt love creative inspiration? Something about being clean physically brings on intuition, ideas and razor-sharp clarity. Clean body, clear mind. Clearing out the old creates space for new possibilities. See why Im saying its bittersweet for it to be over? I guess I dont have to break the fast. 
Anyway.final stats!
Day 10 stats:
Energy level: Great all day and into the late evening hours
Exercise: 60-min power vinyasa yoga class
Sleep: Slept less hours than normal, vivid dreams again
Weight difference since Day 1: 7 lbs
$ spent today on juice ingredients: $18.06 (not including the almonds for more almond milk)
Feeling: Pretty good all day. Being productive makes me happy, so I felt really happy in the evening when I got a couple of things done (and bought Danielle LaPortes new book). I feel another awesome year of learning and growth coming on, and Im excited.

As I mentioned, Im still not sure when or how exactly Im going to break my cleanse. I will tell you that breaking my cleanse will involve fruits and vegetables only most likely a combination of vegetable soups, smoothies and juices along with introducing some solid fruits and veggies in. Thats how I recommend you break your cleanse, too. Easily, gently.
Im actually really excited to make juice now just for the love of it, and relaxing with it, and experimenting more. This documentation project has been challenging, fun and very rewarding, but Im looking forward to drinking some juice off the grid! I plan to keep juices as a part of my daily routine as much as possible. The nutrient blast you get from a fresh juice is unparallelled.
Thank you to everyone who has been checking in along the way! Reading your comments every day has been truly the highlight of this whole experience. You all rock! And Im wishing tons of love, persistence and success to everyone embarking on their own cleanse. Its truly an eye-opening experience in many ways.
For now Ill leave you with this quote that my yoga teacher read out loud to us yesterday. When she read it, I was likeyou are so SPOT ON, lady.
If we are not empty, we become a block of matter.
We cannot breathe, we cannot think.
To be empty means to be alive, to breathe in and to breathe out.
We cannot be alive if we are not empty.
Emptiness is impermanence, it is change.
We should not complain about impermanence,
Because without impermanencenothing is possible.
-Thich Nhat Hanh
