Hardest Challenge

My most difficult challenge in maintaining an all raw, blended juice diet for 92 days is going out on a date with my lovely wife, Christine.

This afternoon she mentioned the prospect of me having a bowl of lentil soup when we go out together tonight. I said no, because it would lead me to eating again.

If I sit there while she eats, she will feel awkward, like I am staring at her eat. Plus, there is an added level of energetic, emotional communion when two people both eat together. So this is really hard for me. I really want to connect, at the same time, I am really feeling like this could truly be sustainable for the whole 92 days. I am feeling fantastic, clear, happy, energetic, alive, full of humor, I am growing spiritually, and I haven't felt better in a long time.

So we are going to go out and eat together, and I am going to have the delicious Rose Lemonade that they serve, and I am going to look into her beautiful eyes and laugh and talk and smile like we always do. I am going to make the conscious effort to connect and commune around the experience of eating, just without chomping my jaws together and swallowing food.
