Lulu,
Yayyy, well done day two. I was gonna post pics of my flax bread, but will leave that for a couple of weeks till the fast is over. By then it is probably time for me do do my fast.

You might want to try this - Brag says in his book on fasting to catch some of the first pee for the day in a jar this way you can see the toxins that are being expelled from your body. He says that he lines them up on a shelf labels them and compares them daily. detox

I have started to collect jars for my collection laugh

so will see how things progress. I guess he throws them out at the end of the fast shrug

.

Keep posting

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

Well done LuLu, I am becomming inspired for my fast in July. How's the skin looking? Has it improved with your fast? You need a medal, 3 days cooking and cleaning and not eating................ thumbup

sorry to hear about the headache, side effect of the fast i expect. Well done again, enjoy your juice - take it easy though sip and swish it ( I guess you know that though?)

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

As Frangi said you are so inspiring. It's not many who can cook for others while fasting. Hugs to you. You deserve them.

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

Lulu you are doing so fantastic. I cant believe you are allready on day 4 (well 5 now).

I agree about the urine I dont think I could stomack keeping it and monitoring maybe not now but maybe later on. I have actually heard (there is a vid on you tube) where the women drinks her first urine to see where she is at. Can give you the link it has great info on raw Ive watch it many times.

Im still here chearing even though Ihavnt posted I have come in and checked on you a few times a day.

Lots of love to you and your family

you have to be joking Pinky - drink weee. Noooooo rofl

I just said to monitor it and check out the toxins you are ridding yourself of rofl

Hi LuLU,
yes the skin getting worse can often happen i read a story of a girl who healed her psoraisis along with many other ailments by fasting and raw foods on Dr Fuhrman's site, she said that 'she endured the preparation time for her fast (30 days), suffered through the fast and was so disappointed to find that her skin was not better infact it was worse .... She clung to Docs word and continued on with the diet he suggests which is basically raw with a few modifications and saw her skin gradually cleared and many of her other ailments were healed. She had psoraitic arthritis, psoraisis from head to toe (shows pics). She needs to do 3x water fasts per year now and lots of raw stuff to keep it at bay. So the treatment does work yahh

its just that our immune systems are shot for some reason... but on the up side we may not get many other things that are manifest internally, ours is external. Keep on going lulu

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

This made me larf! Urine therapy. hmmm. I've thought about it. I heard David Wolfe do a talk about it and he actually made it sound ok! But then when I was visiting the loo I looked down while I was peeing and thought... could I??? Nope, don't think I could. And I won't say never because every time I say never I end up doing it. For examples... "Diet of all raw food? That's the stupidest thing I ever heard, I'm never going to do that", "Give up drinking? Me? Are you mad? I'd never do that!" and "I'll never get married. It's just a piece of paper" and the last eg.. "kids, I'm not having kids. I'd make a shocking mother"

Frankly I'm not that bad at being a mum! And I'm married. And I've not had a drink in over a year and a bit. And I'm a raw fooder. Hmmmm. Never say never folks.

Lulu, sorry to hear you are having a down day. I hope that you have it better tomorrow. As a mum it can be hard sometimes to get the rest and relaxation needed. You'll be fine.

hi Lulu, Well done day 5 on juices and h20........ it is very stressful to do this and have a normal life, you are indeed a walking miracle lady. rose

Tomorrow is a new day ...... A really good sleep, warm bath and as you said some 'me' time will be the very best for you tomorrow, can you get someone to baby sit the little one for a couple of hours? Glad to hear the celery got a mention, it can be put in all sorts of juices even mixed with any of the fruits you mentioned, just like cucumber juice too can go in smoothies and you dont even know it is there and it will still work its magic cooling soothing effect. When you get back onto solids again (makes you sound like a baby huh) try it stuffed with macadamia and/or cashew paste, delish.

had a disturbing evening so did not eat al lthat well, Saw a bad accident on the way home and stopped to help, one guy had to be cut out of the car and was delerious and was quite badly cut about the head, he was trapped in the car for about an hour and a bit till the ambo got there, 4 ambulances, 4 CFS units and 2 police cars attended. 4 people were injured, 1 seriously - quite disturbing, so when i got home i sat with a hot pepermint tea, and had fish and potato patties for dinner what i cooked for hubby. Could not really be bothered un- cooking any thing for myself. i did not realize how shaken up i was. Sad

have a bit of a headache now so must go and do some stuff for work. Talk again soon

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 laugh

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

Heyyy Lulu,
i was wondering where you got to, my look at your posture as well - note the lean to one side now you are nearly straight, so not only will your skin benefit from the fasting so does your back - well done. You are certainly looking really good -
WELL DONE
by the way the people who were involved in the accident were reasonably ok. One a broken foot, the other a broken arm and leg the two girls were discharged from hospital after examination. I was quite relieved ... it did not look good at all.
regards
Frangipanni

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
