Well Lulu did not do really well  at all today! but another day tomorrow! (see journal) . I am starting to prepare for my fast this week,  by that i mean making sure that i dont have to cook stuff for hubby and grandies and ensuring there is heaps in the fridge. 
Sounds to me like you have something 'that is going around' to have all that muck coming out .....
Glad to hear that celery is part of your day now. 

How is my psoraisis... well, it is just red patches, very very little scale and my right hand has completley healed up, some of the smaller ones on my back have cleared and there is nice new skin there now.  I planned to take pics of my back today but did not quite get there, so will aim to do it tomorrow, so you can see what it is like.

Thanks for the 'pee update'  interesting huh?

Day 112

Sunday

Coconut/spinach drinks - two coconuts (all) with 1/2 bag spinach
handful of nuts
1 1/2 mandarins
banana
4 x flax crackers with avo & tom
mandarin (to clean out fudge bowl, yuuuuuummmmmm, lol)
handful nuts
mixed salad
lots water

Felt good to eat all this, I think I must eat more to keep myself full so I don't think of any alternatives, lol, though it's really not funny at all.

Today

So far jug full of spinach and pineapple blended together

I've got my flax soaking to make more crackers and I'm off now to have a piece of fudge, have a great day, bye now.

Have to make some of your flax seed crackers again, this time thicker, last time they fell apart.  Lol.

I am trying to think of what i can make for after my fast, cause when i get home i will be tempted by everything under the sun. And it will be so hard so i most certainly will fall in a heap.  It seems like the GS's have helped you , so will take that on board as well for afterwards.  Good Idea. I'll have to make sure i have lots of GS's so will need to go to the shops urgently when i get back.  I will have a car then yayyy.  That will make it easier.
I have tried towork out how to cook less for the old grandies and get out of the kitchen more as well, so as to lessen the temptation. 
(((Hugs back to you  )))and thanks

Hi Lulu

I think i will cry when my grandson goes on his first camp.  It will be a big milestone for him as he has had a lot of issues to deal with.  We are so close because of the medical issues and i just adore him. 

I have a batch of flax crackers dehydrating at the moment and cant wait till i can eat them.  I have been nibbling at them since they started. 
I did some modifications to the recipe
I soaked 1 cup flax seeds (1/2 light 1/2 dark)
in another bowl soaked 1/2 c sunflower seeds & 1/2c pumpkin seeds and a couple tablespoons of sesame seeds for 4 hours. Then mixed them all together then added 1/4 c lemon juice;
into the blender i put about 3/4c of the mixture above along with 1 granny smith apple and blended till smooth then
I added 2 destsp of agave and a salt to taste.  Then spread them onto the dehydrator and they seem to be quite delicious before dehydrating.  They have a sweet/sour taste. 
I just find the flax on its own a bit too hard for my tummy to handle.  At one stage there i felt like gagging when i ate them. 
  I am making these hoping they will keep till after my fast so that i have some thing to nibble on when i get back.

May be try leaving out the pineapple, My hand comes up really bad when i eat pineapple...just a thought, other substitutes that are reasonably priced.....I know it is difficult to find stuff that you like to help get greens in but the acid in the pineapples may be a problem to psoraisis.  You may like to check out  Karen Knowler -the raw food coach- www.therawfoodcoach.com - who suggests making green juice daily using cucumber, celery, spinach and another vegetable, Karen uses apples to flavour it.  Karen has links on her website  and to her videos which are well produced, the web site has a bit of info and some free recipes as well, may be that can help with the out break on your skin.  Remember after a fast things some times get worse before getting better.......  I am sharing your frustrations ..............    but keep the battle going it will improve i am sure eventually. 
(((hugs)))

Oh I am sooo glad it is just zitts!

crackers turned out fine have yet to try them .....dehydrated, thanks will run the dehydrator another 8 hours tonight to make sure they are dry!
Hope you are back on Raw today.  I must say i have found it hard this past week, must be because i know i have 9 days without food, and the thought of that makes me want to pike out of this whole thing, but alas I will be glad to have achieved this...

Friday Day 116

All is well in my raw world.

pineapple/spinach blended
5 x flax crackers with avo & tom
dried mango
handful of nuts
mixed salad
water
warmed green tea

Saturday Day 117

coconut/spinach blended (yum)
nuts
mixed salad

Haven't eaten much today as I've been soooooo busy, youngest DD's birthday yesterday, she came home from a very wet camp yesterday.  Birthday celebrations in the evening.  Today she was singing for Prime Minister Rudd (and others) and then went and got her ears pierced.  We got home and then my parents arrived for belated birthday cake (which I did not have) and tea/coffee and have only recently left so I don't have much time before I make dinner which will be mixed salad for me.

Jen I have to stay 'smart' with my attitude with this lifestyle and not get too engrossed with it or I'll sabotage myself, don't know why it just seems to be something I do for some reason...

Frangipanni, you'll do fine with the fast, surprisingly you don't feel hungry after the first day or so, I do hope it's not too cold for you though because that does make it hard.

Thanks for reading

Day 117!!!

Wow it's good to see you are still going strong Lulu..
