Day 141 of my juice cleanse

By Kim Smith
Happy Halloween! Day 141 of my juice fast! :) Since it's my birthday I made a special juice - delicata squash & carrot juice with pumpkin spice. Yum! I'm into my last 2 weeks of just juice. I'll be coming off the juice fast on Nov. 12th - a few days after my 5 month mark. It's been a joy & I'm looking forward to doing it again (but not as long) next year. It's such an amazing cleanse! I have to say I feel incredible! I don't feel at all like 46 years old today! If we didn't have to run our store we'd be at Disneyland today!!! :D
