To keep myself motivated and strong I re-watch some fantastic and inspirational documentaries. Starting with the film that pushed me forward and on to my quest for better health, Joe Cross' Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. Then I follow that with the sequel to that, aptly titled Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead 2. Other documentaries that keep my spirits up and on the right track are Hungry for Change, Forks Over Knives, and Vegucated. Vegucated is actually the film that convinced me to transition from vegetarian to vegan. In addition to these shows, I make sure to watch lots of funny movies and TV shows such as The Office US and UK versions, as well as Grace and Frankie. I need to keep laughing and feeling good.
Tomorrow it all begins and I think I'm ready. Seven days of no food and only juice. I can totally do this. In the words of Joe Cross - juice on!

July 6th - ps: Yesterday I stopped over Marina's to spend time with her and Mateo. While standing in her kitchen and chatting, Marina stopped, looked at me and said, "Oh my God. You look so thin!" (I'm down about 6 lbs. since we were last together.) I laughed and then Marina asked, in all sincerity, "Are you wearing a corset?" Um, with jeans, a t-shirt and flip flops? No, I was not wearing a corset. But oh man, what a hilarious response to all my hard work. One day left and I'm feelin' grand!

The best of goody-good-good luck! I've always wanted to try making juices (not going all out like you but simply for a meal once in a while) but I never knew what to make or what was good. Also the fact that I only have a blender and not a juicer might have something to do with it. I got J.J. Virgin's cookbook a year or two ago which has veggie juice/smoothie recipes but I never tried any. And again, I don't even know if a blender is sufficient. However, if you've got some yummy recommendations about things you think I could make, I'd sure love to receive some recipes (in an email if not here). I must warn you that I'm not looking for "sweet fruity smoothies" but was more interested in veggie juices or smoothies or whatever they should be called. That green one you have a photo of looks particularly smashing! Remember Dream Fields by the old Ritz where Terry tried to hire me as a Tarot reader? Well they had a juice bar and did something with (I think) lemongrass but I'm not sure - and I never got to try it sadly. Again, the best of luck with your endeavor and I would totally go along to a juice bar with you and Kat . . . if I only was awake during daylight hours.
