Day 98 - Monday - fast day 10 (juice)

600 mls - coconut/spinach
800 mls - apple/celery
1,000 mls - carrot, tom, celery, sp. onion, spinach, cucumber & corn
1,000 mls - carrot, tom, celery, sp. onion, spinach, cucumber & corn

This was more juice than normal and I found it hard to get through the last one.  3,400mls in all doesn't sound that much but it's very filling.  I'm proud that I had 2.5 full sticks of celery in total this day, yeh me, I never eat celery but I love it in the juices.

I find it amazing that there is no hunger whatsoever, I'll probably do Thursday and Friday on water all going well.

Bye now

Great photo Jen, love the little pea kebab.

You are going along great Frangipanni, so nice to read your journal, when do you plan on starting your fast???

You are such a hoot Jen, lol.

Take care

Day 97

Day 9 (water/juice)

Ok, today I was sooooooo tired as I was awake alot through the night so by lunch time I decided to have some juice today instead of being all water, feel alot better now.

Water 1/2 day
800mls pineapple/spinach
700mls carrot, tom, sp. onion, celery, corn and spinach

Thanks for the information Frangipanni, I went a small amount yesterday and then again today, but still not much, I did notice that it's when I'm on water that I don't go. 

I'm now back on juice until Thursday which was to be water again but I'll take it as it comes from now on, three days on water can be a little tiring.  Not sure how long I'll continue, today is day 9 and my minimum amount to fast was 10 days so I guess anything after that will be fine, I don't want to have a hard time transitioning back to food.

Talking about food, I had the worst dream last night, involved me eating all this junk food (won't mention it here), I was running into all these takeaways and grabbing and eating whatever I could and I was enjoying it, then I was really upset with myself and disappointed that I'd ruined all the good I'd been doing, then I woke up YEH, IT DIDN'T REALLY HAPPEN, boy was I relieved, the funny thing was that I could actually taste the foods!!!

Weighed myself today and I'm 59.5 so I'm down another 1/2 kilo, I started on 68kilos so that's almost 10 in 3 months, yeh.

For dinner I'll have the same juice as before so that will be another 700mls, the vege one not the pineapple one which I found a little too hard on my mouth.

Take care and thanks for reading

Bye now

Today, day 96

Day 8 (water)

WATER

I agree Frangipanni, my posture really looks different now, I've always been a bit crooked but it was never noticeable when I was slim, my Grandmother had the same thing.

I had a laxative tea this morning as I haven't really been having BM's and I thought that this was a cleansing fast and if nothing's coming out I'm going to get toxic so I had a cup, it's completely natural and I really hope it does the job.  I've never done an enema and I know alot of people do them but with four of the kids at home all the time for the holidays it's not really an option.

Wow, twice in one day how unusual, take care all

Nature is wonderful and it shouldn't affect your little one but I'm not sure how long you should fast if your feeding???

Hope you feel better soon

(((hugs)))

So glad you're doing well GG, have a wonderful time meeting Kate and at the workshop, can't wait to read about it.

(((hugs)))

Ok people, I didn't desert, my internet went down (she says with gritted teeth and bulging eyes) so I got to do other things.

Still going well, I'm back on water now (day 2 today) which feels good.  My emotions have settled, yeh and all is good in the world.

On Thursday night when I layed in bed my stomach was like an orchastra, lol, the noises that it made was so weird, digestion I think, of juice.

Day 94

fast day 6 (juice)

700 mls - apple/celery
350 mls - carrot, beetroot & celery
800 mls - carrot, celery, tomato, spring onion & heaps of spinach (this was sooooo good)

Day 95

Water 3 - 4 litres

Ok, it's that time of the month again for new photos so here we go.





I do see a difference 

Thanks for reading and for all the support, it does mean alot.

Day 93

Day 5 fast (juice)

Thanks for the support Pinky and Frangipanni.  I've seen a vid by either Angela Stokes or Kate Magic about urine therapy but I'm sorry I just couldn't stomache doing that, hee hee.

That poor woman having it all over her body...

Ok I've had some emotions coming up today 'Anger' of all things, for some reason I've been angry pretty much all day and yelling (yes yelling) at the kids, I'm not an angry type of person and I don't go around like a mad woman yelling but I did today, I feel really spent now too, not good.  Tomorrow I'll try and get some quiet time just for me I think just to be.

I'm really enjoying the savoury juices now and I'm up to putting in a whole stick of celery which is amazing for me because I don't like it.

Wednesday

350 mls Coconut, berries & spinach (did not like)
700 mls carrot, beetroot & celery (lovely)
400 mls pineapple/pink grapefruit (did not enjoy very much)
600 mls carrot, tomatoe, celery, sp onion & corn (this was soooooooo good)

2,050 mls in all plus lots of water throughout day

I have these at four different intervals and they are very filling.

Take care and thanks for reading

Bye now

Thanks Frangipanni and Jen, it's funny I'm just not hungry at all I think it's more the 'sensation' of eating you miss in the first couple of days but even that doesn't bother me now.

My skin has actually broken out on my face and my psoriasis seems a little redder but I'm prepared for that because I know things can get worse before they get better.

As for the urine, I don't think I'll monitor it that close but it's pretty close to water colour just for the record, lol.

Ok, take care

Day 92

Day 4 fast (juice)

Well I had the worst sleep last night, Junior woke and came into my bed and then proceeded to wake throughout the night, not good.

When I woke up I had water and then about 1 hour later I had my coconut and large amount of english spinach made into a juice by blending and then putting through a nut bag, the bag has now turned green through the use it's had today, lol.

It was sublime...

Tuesday

water throughout day
coconut/eng. spinach juice
carrot, apple and celery juice
pineapple and eng.spinach juice
dinner will be carrot, tomatoe, eng. spinach and corn juice (maybe warmed slightly as a soup as I'm really feeling the cold now)

Lots of bms today, I tend to get stomach acid rising also, not very nice.

I weighed myself today and I was 132pds - 60.1 kgs, yeh that means I'm down about 17pds - 8 kgs since I went raw, wow, I'm feeling good.

Going to make dinner now, take care and thanks for reading

Day 91

Day 3 fast

Thanks Jen I appreciate that.

Well today wasn't as good as yesterday, woke up with a slightly hot head and my stomache felt a bit off too.  Have been drinking heaps of water through the day.  Went and picked up a huge bag of organic juicing apples, carrots, english spinach and pineapple for my juicing over the next few days.  I already have other things to juice at home.

I seem to have a headache now and I feel tired.  No BM's today!!!

I am so looking forward to juice tomorrow, I think I'll start with coconut and spinach, yuuuummmmm, I'm drooling now, lol.

Ok, I've got to go now and get dinner on for the family.

Take care and thanks for reading

You're doing fabulous Frangipanni although I find I rather mouth watering reading your eating, lol.

Dau 90 WOW

Day 2 fast

Awww you guys, such a great cheer squad I've got here, thanks a million.

Day two has been good, not hungry at all, drinking heaps and heaps of water, I slosh when I walk, lol.  Going to the toilet alot too in both ways.  I woke up this morning with the fullest bladder in the world, it took forever to empty out, I thought to myself if anyone touched my tummy I'd LEAK, lol.

Have been thinking about chocolate fudge and tomatoes and the smell of bread from the kids really got up my nose today, it's all I could smell which is weird because I haven't craved bread at all the whole time I've been raw, strange.

Well what's for dinner tonight.... WATER... and yes I had my water in a soup bowl with the kids, looked better than it tasted though.  I'm glad tomorrow is the last day of water for a few days, I'm looking forward to some juice, got a couple of young coconuts smiling at me in the fridge.

Ok, thanks for reading and bye.

Day 89

Day 1 of Fast

Doing  well, not hungry at all but my mind keeps telling me 'why are your doing this, you are doing enough already' type of things, lol, hopefully my good 'me' will hold strong.
