Juicing | MY PLACE - POETRY , AFFIRMATIONS & MORE

Well I attempted to post this a couple times, however my computer was not cooperating with me.

So just a little update:

Day 2- Hungry as a bear, woke up with massive headache, took some pain killers which worked. I grumbled through the day feeling angry at myself when I smelled food I liked. I still resisted. It was difficult cooking dinner for my family as everything smelled even better than the last time I cooked the same meal, however I stuck to juicing through it and again developed another headache before bed, this time I decided to not take anything for it.

Day 3– Felt much better about the morning juice, it was delicious ( carrot, apple, beet picture above). Yet when lunch time rolled around I definately had some taste bud resistance and a slight hint of contemptment with the green(kale) juice which I drank twice more that day ( blahh). I also noticed a slight rash under my chin and on my neck in the afternoon, not itchy or anything just bumps, maybe a detox reaction. I was exhausted and totally without energy when I finally got home at 900pm . I crawled into bed at 10pm(which is about 2hrs before my normal bedtime), knowing I had to listen to my body.

Day 4: I am starting off with a great amount of energy and feel pretty good. I did have a slight headache when I got up, but it may be because I got up earlier today so I could juice for my day at work. Really amazed iI havent chewed a morsel since Sunday, this ten day juice fast may actually be a sucess!

My Ten Day Juice Fast – Day 1

I’ve decided I’ve had enough and I need to make some drastic changes for my health to ensure I remain healthy, happy and disease free ..I’m not getting any younger after-all. I still have a few good miles ahead of me and to do my body a favour and make that transition seamless, I need to help myself now. My journey begins with a 10 day juice only fast, however I can only hope that those ten days are just a beginning to a 30 day juice fast..crossing all my piggies here! I’ve been semi sorta working my way up to this for the past two months! WISH ME LUCK!

Well today I began my journey of my 10 day juice fast. My morning started with hot fresh ginger tea with lemon( 2 cups) and a chilled carrot/apple/ginger juice that I squeezed last night.

The carrot apple juice was amazing I must say. I will be looking forward to the next one, and for snack I am supposed to have a coconut water(which I forgot to purchase) so I will tough it out with tea and lemon water.

Lunch will bring me to a green juice of kale, cucumber, celery , apple ginger and that one I’m not so sure about yet. I will provide a full update before I retire each evening on my progress.

Last thoughts of my first day of juicing.

Well I made it! It really wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be for my first day, no crazy detox nightmare. I’ve been working up to this fast for about two months I suppose when I first found myself adventuring out on a four day all raw food diet. Then I experienced a detox stage as the absence of my morning coffee was replaced with a headache filled four days of hell that systemically rolled out instead of my anticipated energy filled gift I was to receive with this clean eating change.

I knew but still I wondered..how is this supposed to be good for me?

Now I am more prepared as for at least a month or more Ive been cutting out many of my dearly loved “wheat” foods and eating much healthier. Only real comment is the prep time provided for these juice recipes does not reflect my “actual” prep time, especially when I am juicing two or three kinds of juice as I have been. So much longer!!

Anyhow, Ill be heading off to bed knowing I ate more vegetables today in one day then I have in he past week, I’m a feeling good!
