Ummmm, no zuccini pasta on Wednesday, just a mixed salad.

Thursday

Cacao smoothie
4 x flax crackers with tom and avo
large handful of mixed nuts
2 x bananas
smoothie
mixed salad - cos lettuce, spinach, tom, grated carrot and 1/2 corn off cob, this was a really nice salad.

Everyone else had something I would have loved in my past life for dinner and it didn't really affect me at all, I looked at it interestingly yet at no point did I consider wanting to eat it, interesting.  I was probably too full on smoothie.

Still on my banana binge, hubby came home with a branch of bananas straight off the tree yesterday, he said someone brought them to work and no-one else wanted them so he got them, YEH FOR US, FREE FOOD.

Take care

Day 65

Friday

Smoothie
handful of nuts
raw carrot soup - 1cup carrot juice, 1 tomatoe blended together then add corn off the cob (about 1/3) and a little cracked pepper and warm over hot water
smoothie
mixed salad same as yesterday - and I enjoyed it just as much, lol.

When I was counting how many day I'd done at 100% this morning I almost had to pinch myself, it surely has gon sooooo fast, it's hard for me to comprehend sometimes but hey, who am I to question... I am very thankful

$4.50 work of dried mango  ohyeah
1/2 jug of smoothie - banana, coconut & blueberry
brazil nuts (too many, lol)
6 flax crackers with tom and avo

Not that interested in bananas today except for smoothie so that phaze may be over now.  My skin has broken out a little on my face too.  Other than that I'm feeling great.

70 DAYS

I'm still here all, still 100% too.

I didn't keep track of my eating over the past couple of days ooops, but it was the same as usual, simple food with crackers for lunch and salad for dinner.  Made fudge on Sunday and it will be all gone sometime this morning, lol.

Yesterday I felt like COOKED for some reason and I'm thinking it may be because my monthly is due tomorrow, I shall stay vigilant and just eat extra raw if needed.

I weighed myself yesterday and I'm 138 pds which is about a 12 pd loss over 2.5 months???  OK then.

Got to go wake the kids up now, take care and thanks for reading.

Bye

Hey Lulu, Maybe it's a good thing that you aren't needing to track what and how much you are eating? Sounds like it's becoming a more normal thing for you.

Hi Jen, you could be right, I really hope so as I'd just love to live this life rather than having to constantly keep myself in check.  Maybe I don't now... but must be vigilant.

73 Days

Same old stuff, not bored yet so this is good.

Friday

Mango smoothie
$5.00 dried mango
banana
handful of nuts
banana
cacao smoothie
mixed salad
water throughout day

Must make a mental note to DRINK MORE WATER as I've noticed again in the cooler weather I hardly drink any, this is not good.

My monthly came right on time as usual and I think I was a little less TENSE this month before the event, lol.

I've broken out again, on one side of my neck and on my cheeks, very annoying.  I have found that my nails are looking lovely, not in length (as I've broken a couple) but in their colouring, they look healthy and shiny.

Well I'm off to the Farmers' Market this morning to get some lovely food with the kids, they love sampling everything.

Have a great day and thanks for reading.

Bye now

74 Days

I'm so cold this morning, my nose and my hands, brrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Saturday

Half apple
five flax crackers with tom and avo
nuts
banana
smoothie - strawberry, blackberry, raspberry and banana (shared with all the kids so I only get 1 glass, lol)
2 Pesto stuffed mushrooms with mixed salad
water
warmed up green tea

I have also had a warmed green tea this morning to try to warm me up but I think my lovely cacao smoothie has now made me freeze again, lol.

Did some extra cleaning yesterday and will probably do some today as well, I'll get those kids working too I think.

Take care then and thanks for reading.

Bye

Thanks Pinky, I totally understand about being busy with kids, I remember sitting on the lounge for what felt like whole days at a time breast feeding James, he was sooooo greedy. 

Anyway, it's unusual for me to be here twice in one day so I may as well share something with you all, I've been digiscrapping for the last three months now as I find it hard to do any scrapbooking with my paper stuff anymore with a two year old getting into everything so I thought you might like a sneaky peak into what my family looks like.  It seems the more I'm raw I'm also feeling more creative.

Enjoy your look http://mitsybelle.blogspot.com/

Thanks Pinky, they are beautiful kids (I'm bias but that's ok).  I started having them when I was 25 and they just kept coming and coming, lol and had the last at 40, they are 18 (almost) 15 (going on 2), 14, 9 (almost) and two (going on 15).

Sunday

Warmed green tea
cacao smoothie
five flax crackers with avo and tom
mandarin (to clean out fudge bowl)
blended pineapple - this was sooooooo good but I only got 1 glass because I had to share with kids OHH
handful of nuts
mixed salad for dinner
water throughout day

I didn't get my coconut this weekend as I couldn't find any  shrug anywhere.

It is quite cold this morning and I'm sipping on warmed green tea again but I think that's ok if it warms me up.  I've really been feeling cold the last couple of days though.  Ummm, I might just make my carrot, corn and tomato raw soup for lunch since I'm cold, hee hee, I love that soup.

Ok, thanks for reading and take care

76 Days today

Feeling good, up really early (4.20am) due to junior getting his own bed (at last) and me trying to get him to sleep in it, lol.  This was his second night and he slept in it til 4.20 this morning and then crawled in with me.  The first night I couldn't sleep because he wasn't with me, lol, then he crawled in at about 10.30 and we both fell asleep.  I just love cuddling up on these cool nights, but hubby insists it's time he was out!!!

Monday

Banana
blended pineapple with pink grapefruit
handful of nuts
fudge
1/2 banana
mixed salad with one pesto stuffed mushroom
water throughout day
warmed green tea in morning

Boy that grapefruit goes through you, wow, I didn't know that happened, I was given a couple of them and thought I'd better eat them so I put one in my pineapple blend, tasted fine but I was on the toilet all afternoon, lol. 

My skin on my face and neck is still a little bumpy and I keep touching it so that doesn't help.  I didn't end up having my soup yesterday as I was full of the pineapple/grapefruit blend, maybe today I'll have it.

I had a dream last night that my pants were so big they just fell off without undoing them so I had to use a big belt to keep them up, a bit like a hobo or clown would, lol.  I hope I can just buy new one's myself, hee hee but I must admit my pants are getting very loose on me and I'm continually pulling them back up.

Ok, hubby's just getting up now, gtg, thanks for reading

Morning all... day 77, 11 weeks or 2.5 months

Tuesday

Cacao smoothie
$4.00 worth dried pineapple
handful of brazil nuts
fudge
banana and berry smoothie with silverbeet
mixed salad with about 1/4 avo on top
water

Fudge should be gone sometime today hee, hee, I only make it once a week, usually on a Sunday and it lasts til Wednesday.  It's about 20cm x 10cm x 2cm in size so I just cut pieces off as needed, lol.  I think I'll have to put some flax on to soak this morning too so I can make some more crackers today.

I'm wondering if I may be reacting to my perfume, I put it on my neck before taking the kids to school and it's in those exact places that I have bumps... I put it on more out of habit than because I need to so I might just stop using perfume for a while and see if the bumps clear up.  Another strange thing I have noticed (well I've noticed it for a while just forgot to put it here) is that when I bite into a banana my gums bleed... how strange is that, it doesn't happen when I eat anything else, just bananas.  Not heaps of bleeding just blood smudges on my banana, sounds icky doesn't it.

I've been dong alot of thinking about my upcoming fast so I'll be surfing the net to get lots of information over the next couple of days.  I can't afford to be spending hundreds of dollars on juices over the two weeks or so like some do so I'll have to find something that will work $$ wise for me and my health.

Thanks for reading all, take care

Lulu,

A great way to keep prices down when doing lots of juice... is to grow your own micro greens. Do wheatgrass, sunflower greens, pea greens etc. You can grow a tray a day for months on about $20 of bulk purchased seed.

And check out wholesale markets (like Rocklea just south of Brisbane City where the supermarkets and green grocers buy their produce). You can buy boxes of produce very cheap every day, and even cheaper on Fridays. Once on a Friday morning Piers and I got literally 20 cases of fruit and greens there for $100. It was silly. All the sellers try to sell off cheap all their produce before the market closes for the weekend to get ready for new supplies on Monday.

Juicing heaps is very expensive if you buy retail, but can be very cheap buying wholesale. For example organic celery here is $3.99 per bunch but I get it for $1.09 buying wholesale by the case.

Good luck! Enjoy your juicing!
