Day 12/13

Day 12 Juice intake

1 litre -- Mango(1)/Lime(5)/Orange(5)/Raspberry(1cup) Juice



1 litre Water

Nowhere near enough juice however I was resting at home with not much need for the calories.

Day 13 Juice intake

1 litre Water

1 litre Apple/pear/celery -- 1 tablespoon green powder

---

Still have to drink

1 litre Blood orange/raspberry/Lemon(Spanish unsprayed)

Okay so I learnt a huge lesson of feasting, DO NOT drink, even 1 drink!

I went thinking I would have 1 drink and then have water for the rest of the night. In actual fact I had 6 martinis, was still stone cold sober but was wide awake half the night my stomach just feeling odd. This morning I was so dehydrated. It was NOT worth it, but lesson learnt!!

In future I will go out, have a good time, dance, play, wear flat shoes and take my bottle of water!!

So I went shopping this morning to top up on fruits, it seems it takes a whole lot of apples to get enough juice

I got

10 Blood oranges

1kg Apples (I already had some at home)

5 organic lemons

Extra Olive oil Soap

This was £5 so pretty good I think!! Topped me up and basically will do me for "dinner" and in the morning.

I have been watching David and Katrina's daily video's they are so uplifting, I take time when I get home to get changed into some loose cotton clothing, walk around, put the video on and listen, let it resonate, feel the change, feel the words washing over me. Really make 20-40 minutes a day to listen and just ..well.. Be the future you, be you on day 92. But live in this day.

Truly awesome stuff.

I was thinking today about cleaning my body on the outside, normally I just use water and olive oil bar. However I got a few bits today to try out.

Locally made, Norfolk, Detox bath soak -- Local, all organic, small hand-made product

Mud soap

Olive oil soap

Orange oil/Hemp soap

A nice big Bodybrush to get to grips with the body brushing everyday!

Its nice on a Sunday to make some pamper time for yourself, drink tea, body brush, shower, do an enema. Rest, run, play -- enjoy the down time!

Day 12... Peace..Pampering and ....Party time!

So here we are Day 12, My work/working out schedule etc has been a bit hectic so not had time to blog and juice and train!! Will make time for sure over the weekend!!

Yesterday:

1 litre water

1 litre Orange

1 litre Mango/orange/lime

1 litre tea-- detox/mint/senna

Am finding a huge difference in getting the full gallon and not hitting it-- when I am drinking enough I don't feel hungry but it is very hard to do. I find it easy to manager on just water, so pushing myself to have the juice and enough of it is a challenge, but its getting easier and I feel supercharged when I do drink it all up!!

I have the day off today and plan on doing some real relaxing, as well as some work stuff.. body brushing..try the enema bag, lots of tea, juice fresh from the juicer yippee!!

Going to a birthday party later so should be interesting going out without eating/drinking alcohol, but I am up for the challenge! I know if I even try to drink I will end up being violently ill, so I am keeping sober and up for a good time, without the usual excess!!

I am sleeping really well, normally 11-6am and then I am fully alert and ready to go!

Nights where I haven't got enough juice I can barely stay up to 9pm I am falling asleep!

Otherwise I am feeling good, my skin is clear, hair/nails growing like wildfire and feeling pretty energetic most of the time despite my work colleagues constant concerns!!

I keep explaining its feasting, I am having all my calories.

Anyhoo I am off to body brush and go running.. so shall update again soon!

Day 9.. Hospital air..and Feasting thoughts!

Today has been a strange day, I had 4 hours waiting for my appointment, then had to have various drops put in my eyes. Not what I would be happy with or choose but I had waited so long I agreed to this. This stuff was bright yellow! I dread to think what was in it!


After this my vision was blurred and had such a migraine from all the lights and pressure on my eye I went home to rest.

On waking I felt a little better, my eyes were gunky with whatever this solution is. Hoping my body will clean it out and detox from it by itself over the next few days!!

Drank 1 litre water

1 litre melon/lemon/lime juice

1 large spoon green powder

Not much, not idea, but.. will make an effort to get my full amount again tomorrow! Definitely feel the difference. Although I am not hungry at all.

The thing about the feast is figuring our your priorities. Switching off the PC and TV for a couple of hours--or MORE ........preparing juices, meditating, reading, having a bath or shower/body brushing, lovingly giving yourself an enema -- whatever it is its about looking after yourself and making time for YOUR health and well being.

Will have a cup of senna mixed with my usual bedtime blend tonight, get things moving!!

I have been having Chamomile, Cinnamon and warm water before bed, this really relaxes me, warms me and gets me ready for a good nights sleep!!

One thing I have noticed is I wake up, AWAKE now. Before I woke up tired, clinging onto the duvet, grasping another 10 minutes or so!! I think post feast I will not eat in the evenings, just juice to ensure I still get this amazing rest and alertness in the morning!

Anyway that is all for now!

Side note: i forgot to mention its been hailing and snowing here!! Ha! I got off the bus to the hardest hail I have ever felt! It was mad! If we get anymore freak weather I will go out and take a photo!!

Quick Catch up Day 8 & 9 Today..woops!

Anyway thats all, will report back on Today a bit later

Love and Light to you lovely rawbies!

Day 7... Rest and Relaxation

Sunday is my ultimate day of rest!!

I Slept for 10 hours, and woke up feeling rested and alive!!

Okay so after consulting the lovely rawbies at Give it to me Raw-- It would seem a vinegar bath, running some tea tree oil through the juicer. Should be fine, I am still a bit dubious... but.. shall see.

I blended up some breakfast (juicer fear!) -- 1 Melon, 1 Very ripe Pear(Williams), 1 Lime, 1 Grapefruit

Strained this off, and set it to chill, Melon juicer is nicer cold!

Big pink glass of lovelyness!

I had a litre of water on waking, feeling good and very peaceful.

I am focused on resting my body and allowing my mind just to be still, its something I normally struggle with. So its really nice just to be quiet for a while.

I just made juice for the day ahead; apple and celery, carrot, ginger and apple -- masons to the top and sealed

Then a juice for my supper now: grapefruit, 2 lemons, handful of strawberries! Look at those colours, amazing and so yummy!

Juicy fun...and juicer MOULD!.. (NOT so fun!)

So I left my second juicer under storage for a while, now it has some tiny spores of mould, I have washed, scrubbed with toothbrush, vinegar and sat it overnight. Really annoyed was so looking forward to some serious juicing!!.. Am hoping it will be okay after soaking/cleaning.. doing a lot of googling!! If anyone has the answer feel free to leave me a comment!

Arrrgg..

Anyhoo.. so I went oldschool stylee.. and hand pressed some citrus for tea!

Here we go.. my lovely produce and my blood orange/lime/lemon juice!

The blood oranges taste great!! and I love lemons and limes; I recently read a book that said only 1/2 a lemon, I love them too much for that!! yum!

They are organic and from Italy, taste fab!! A little treat anyway.

Tomorrow the real fun starts!! (juicer permitting!)

Official Global Juice Feast (Day 6)

At last here is the global juice feast!!

I am all ready to jump in!! Yesterday I had 1 litre orange juice along with my normal water and green powder, I kept it simple, I still just wanted water.


Today I am aim to drink a lot more juices, water, green juices as well as going for a run and getting in some extra produce!

I am full of energy, happy, glowing. Vibrant, my kidney infection is clearing up well and I feel amazing right now.

I cant stop telling everyone I meet about how much my life has changed, I was buying tea and told the chappy all about the global juice feast and all the good vibrations, totally awesome chat, look forward to dropping in during my feast and chatting more to the guys at the local health store!!

When your healed nothing can compare to having your health, this time last year I couldn't even go to the store 0.5 miles away without worrying I would need the toilet, my chronic bowel disease was keeping me a prisoner in my home. I was so worried of having accidents constantly.

This morning I went out and just walked around and did my shopping, and it was a total blessing not to have to stop to find a bathroom or carry water and tablets. Raw is TOTAL HEALING. I am so so so pleased that I found raw a year ago! Is just amazing, I am only excited for even more transformation during this juice feast!!

Now ....more prep for the feast!

A gallon is around 4 litres each day, including the green juice and celery heads to be juiced daily.

Okay so here is what I got..at my lovely organic man


Blood oranges -- amazing and 25 p each! Italian, the colour is just amazing!

Grapefruit

Pears (local)

Greens -- lovely local flat leaf lettuce

Celery -- again local

Just to top up what I have, I also got some teas

Senna tea (I DON'T need it yet, no problem in that department!)

Ayurveda Detox tea


I now have a crate full of supplies, powders, coconut oil and various teas as well as the most important FULL fruit bowls.

I will photograph my bounty later, I keep opening the kitchen door just to gasp and peek in wonder!

I got a book today, Top 100 Juices

Just for inspiration on combinations, 92 days of fun! I need lots of inspiration, reading and fun!!


I have also put in my order for Angela Stokes guide to feasting, she is my Inspiration and was on of the big impacts in my raw transition, so yeah. She raw-ks! Big thanks to Ms Stokes!

Will post back later with juicy pictures!


Raw-k on guys!
