Post...101


Oh my I totally missed that my last post was 100!! amazing, cant believe I have been blogging that long!!


Today has been another water day, not by choice but just exhaustion!


I have tonight prepared carrot/apple/celery juice, enough for tomorrow and packed enough water also.


So I am all set up for tomorrow.


Drinking green juice tonight, get my fix of greens!


Still feeling good, happy and content.


Salt cravings, so upping the celery and spirulina! Yum!


That's all for today, working on website is taking up a lot of time right now!-- Will post a long one tomorrow evening.

Clean on the inside..and the outside...


Quick checking in for today

Had a lovely time playing with natural soaps, my skin is so so clear right now. Got that raw glow for sure! Tried a Mud soap from Lush and a Olive Oil soap, all handmade and organic! Mmm that was lovely on the face!
The mud soap was mainly for my kiddy instincts..writing in mud on the shower screen..covering myself in mud..and leaving muddy handprints was all far too much fun!

Had a lovely long shower, alternating hot and cold, body brushed. Washed my face with olive oil soap and then put on my own combination of oils-- Olive, jojoba oil -- fabulous!

Also trying out a natural deodorant, TEO another lush product. Fairly cheap, no aluminium etc etc. Smells amazing, lemon and ginger scents!! Have road tested it today, not smelly, no sweat patches, fab!! I did reapply it twice in the day as I LOVE the smell..mmm lemony!




Today

1 litre Lemon water

2 cup Lemon tea

1 litre water

1 Spoon Spirulina

Pretty much water, I felt tired and like all I wanted was water.

Have prepared for tomorrow, mango/lime juice and Grapefruit/blood orange/spinach juice

Also made my mate this lovely juicy concoction, raspberry/mango/lime! zingy!!-- spoon of spirulina for extra high raw buzz!


Hopefully be ready for juice drinking tomorrow, I only had 3 hours sleep so amazed I have had energy to train, clean, prepare juice and do some work this evening. No way could I have gone with so little sleep if I wasn't juice feasting!!

Anyway that's all for today!

Day 14

Okay so here we are, its not been easy all the way but I think I have got the idea of preparation and day to day temptations now.



1. Preparation

Making time to stock up on veggies -- even if this means going out of your way, walking the long way home or getting up early to check you are MORE than prepared

Taking time to juice for the day ahead. Turning everything off, putting music on loud and focusing on the job in hand, without time limitation or any other concerns but making the most nutrient dense tasty juices!

For me having a decent glass at work has been a big help, as small it sounds. Having a tall glass at work means I can have my pure water or juice whenever without spilling,dripping from my mason. Also makes me feel good to take my glass with me into the staff living room at lunchtime to have my lunch.


2. Not putting yourself in negative environments

For myself

Not out drinking

Not in a smokey environment

Not where food temptations are!


So if this means finding new fun, walking, running--dancing, reading, taking long baths, spending time with a loved one. Then it has to be done!!

I am lucky to work near lots of nice outside grassy areas and tree's, soon as its dry enough I will be going outside for me 30 minute break rather than staying inside whilst everyone reheats last night meals!


You just cant continue to do what you would have done before the feast, this is about transformation!!

For me this has been making time in the evening to have "me time" whatever that is. Even if its just being in silence for an hour, tidying or going for a walk. Reading a new book, whatever is it-- using time in a positive way!


3. Keeping your goals in sight

Keeping your goals in mind

Feeling the good vibrations and knowing where and WHO you WILL become through this process.

Be satisfied in the day and be strong in your convictions.

Dont just TALK about the change, BE THE CHANGE, right now, today!!!

These are the things that stand out most to me right now anyway at this stage.

So far today I have had 1 MC drink, man this is good stuff!!

I made the mistake of having one late last night, I was up for two hours feeling the heat just moving through my body, was so weird, nice, warming but..I was alert and couldn't get my head down. Wont do that again!!

It is so so good though, Dave and Katrina suggest using local raw honey. I did this along with 1 Spanish lemon and a good sprinkle of cayenne!! These lemons I got yesterday are amazing, they are this golden colour, the flesh inside looks like orange, the taste is so intense and almost buttery... amazing!

I have been doing the MC warm as it was suggested on the GJF notes for yesterday, really is nice warm and certainly gets you feeling tingly inside!! Have been so freezing what with the wind, hail, storms etc.. its nice to feel warm inside!!

Anyoo More later, up early, now going to buy more apples, it seems 15 goes in a blink!

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!!
