Juice Feasting - Day 4

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!
So glad to be giving myself this gift of health today on my 49th birthday.
I feel gratitude that I have been fortunate enough to have this opportunity in my life . . . to have this knowledge of how to live a vibrant, healthy life, full of light.
Yes, full of light . . . because the live foods we are juicing hold the light and energy of the sun, and when we eat/juice them in their raw, fresh state we take in that energy and light.

A moment of silence. On this day I can't help but remember my son Aaron who passed away on September 5, 2006, at age 22 from the long term effects of ulcerative colitis. It was my despartate search for answers to save his life that brought me to the raw/live food lifestyle to begin with. He is my shining light and inspiration.

Today's Juices:
1 quart - water, MSM, lemon
1 quart - grapefruit, orange, lemon
2 quarts - cabbage, spinach, cucumber, celery, parsley, apple
1 pint - young coconut water/milk
1 pint - pineapple (this was my Birthday Dinner) YUM!
1 quart - water

Supplements:
Bee Pollen, Royal Jelly, Kelp Powder, Chlorella, Marine Phytoplankton, Vitalzyme, Enzymes, B-12

Juice Feasting - Day 2

Started out feeling OK this morning but as the day progressed I felt myself going deeply a massive purge. I think I spent most of today in the bathroom. It's just amazing how much the body can release in such a short time (today!!) I think it's trying to do everything in ONE day! :-) Yikes!

By noon I was also feeling the emptiness not only in my body, but it was extending to a deep feeling of emptiness emotionally as well. By evening I felt depressed, with a slight headache and some stiffness in my body. I guess I'm well on my way into the cleansing phase.

Today's Juices:
1 quart - water, MSM, lemon
1 quart - celery, apple, cucumbers, lime, lettuce
1 pint - carrot, beet, ginger
1 pint - coconut water
1 pint - pineapple
1 quart - kale, celery, apple, zucchini, parsley
1 quart - grapefruit, orange, lemon
1 quart - water

Supplements:
Bee Pollen, Royal Jelly, Coconut Oil, Marine Phytoplankton

Exercise:

Juice Feasting - Day 1


Today is the first day of my 92 Day Juice Feast. I am so excited about this experience!

My body has been literally craving this juice feast for months now. I had thought I would start at the beginning of the year 2008 on January 1st, but the desire to start now has become so strong I can no longer deny it. The whole idea of juice feasting makes so much sense to me.

My goals are to deeply cleanse my body, mind, and spirit and transcend to a whole, new, more vibrant level of health. Specifically, repairing old physical issues/injuries, washing away toxic emotions, normalizing my weight, and strengthening my liver and thyroid.

I have been on a 100% raw/living foods diet for close to 3 years, 5 months now. My whole life has changed radically in every way. I have seen and felt the massive benefits of a plant based diet. Here is a brief summary of the main issues that have dissappeared for me on a raw food diet.

• Chronic Sinusitis
• Recurring Bronchitis
• Irregular Heartbeat
• Elevated Heart Rate
• High Blood Pressure
• Hypoglycemia
• Edema (especially in my legs, feet, and hands)
• Pain in my Feet (so bad that by evening I was limping)
• Chronic, Ongoing Fatigue
• Dry Skin
• Itchy Skin Rashes
• Foot and Toenail Fungus
• Skin Tags and Moles
• Gastric Distress - Including indigestion, heartburn, sore stomach, gas, and bloating.
• Hormonal Issues - Constant pain over my left ovary, heavy bleeding (sometimes for 30 days at a time)
• Two large lumps over my liver (this really scared me as liver cancer runs in the family)

All this has dissappeared . . . AND NOW . . . I look forward to a whole new level of vibrant health through juice feasting.

Today's Juices:
1 quart - water, MSM, lemon
1 pint - coconut water
1 quart - kale, celery, cucumber, apple
1 quart - apple, spinach, kale, celery
1 quart - carrot, beet, ginger, apple
1 pint - grapefruit, lemon, orange
1 quarts - water

Supplements:
Bee Pollen, Royal Jelly, Hemp Oil, Vitamineral Green, Marine Phytoplankton, Vitalzym, Enzymes

How I felt:
Morning: Sluggish
Noon: Clearer, but emotions are beginning to surface
Evening: Pressure in my head. Feeling fuzzy headed.
