Day 20 Baby ------Juicing and only juice............

Oh my what a good feeling I have in side of me and all around me. I am much happier, less stress, just overall a calm about me that I really like. I really have had no major slow downs or let downs. I think most of all I had a white tongue,and those hard white things that get in your throat that are known to make bad breath. My throat or maybe it's the back of my tongue that gives me the most icky feeling in me. Most of this journey is actually fun and exciting. I go with the flow. I choose my juices 2 days at a time in order to keep my produce fresh. I have wasted some greens by purchasing too many and they go bad before using them . And I bet this happens to many of us from time to time.

Today is a Monday morning and I will be making some morning wheatgrass first. I will also drink 32 ounces of lemon water and my vitamin D 3 10,000 I.U.( required Monday - Friday) via doctors orders..I really need it as the sun forgot to shine much this Summer 2011 here in Washington state.

I missed a few blog days because my husband and I were preparing for a garage sale and had the sale last Friday and Saturday. Saturday it rained quit hard so we basically had a Friday sale. I did sell my large bird cage to a gal that morning though so that made my Saturday and OK one~And I made $160.00 on that.

Day 15 of my Juicing.........

All I am intaking at the moment is green juices,water,tea sometimes and my own made Kombucha only maybe once a week. I just sprouted some wheatberries for some rejuvelac. I really stick with the juices first. Again today I opened my day with water  and lemon,followed by an Enema,my Detox tinctures,green juice,and water. Best way to begin a day.  I wish everyone could experience what juicing and only juicing can do for the body. Not only have I been making juices ,I have been making Kombucha  and I have a batch of Rejuvalac in my Oven (dark place). When I make Rejuvelac I make mine with the Lighter wheatberries as this is what Ann Wigmore suggests. I do not love rejuvelac but using it is great as a natural probiotic. I also take the Rejuvelac and make cheeses and I still might do that for my husband,as he likes my cheese too.

On the other hand not to confuse what Kombucha and Rejuvelac are- My husband and  I love Kombucha. As some people say Kombucha resembles beer. I will tell you I hate beer and never drink beer as I can't stand the taste. This here below Kombucha is some good stuff.
Fresh made Kombucha some has fruit in the bottles.
Now as for a Kombucha recipe I will tell you quickly our favorite tea bag combo. I use 8 tea bags Organic ones. I use 2 black teabags a 6 green tea teabags. You can do what you want but this is a great beginning mix.  Sugar is in this recipe but it gets eaten up by the fermented mushroom that is in this awesome drink.

I am so thankful that I have the power in me and the get go to do nothing at the moment but concentrate on liquids. I not only feel great I feel powerful. I get 8 hours of sleep naturally. I use no alarm clock and haven't for some time now.I absolutely so far have no desire for food -Zippo none-

What I juiced today:
 Spinach,kale,dandelion,red pepper,cilantro,parsley,ginger,1teaspoon of Hemp oil and lime 45 ounces

Butter lettuce,cucumber,celery, few kale leaves,pear,ginger, and lemon 32 ounces


Watermelon yummy-watermelon,mint and lime 12 ounces

Tons of water---
Finally had wheatgrass 1.5 hour's  before bedtime.

Day 21 of juicing......

OMG, Warm water with lemon juice. I like warmer water over colder water in the A.M. I have been playing in the kitchen. I am making my first batch of Kombucha. I got a starter scoby ,but it sank in the mixture and didn't stay flat so my batch which is 8 days old (and still brewing) started a new scoby. My batch started a new scoby on the top as the liquid had a good amount of the stringy yeasty stuff that Kombucha thrives on and  this batch is some tasty stuff. What I did was buy several glass bottles with a latch top.  I took two bottles and put a piece of dehydrated pear slice in each bottle, and one of the two bottles has hibiscus flowers and the pear slice. I took my made scoby and the remainder Kombucha back in the Oven to brew a few more days. I mean I buy Kombucha in the bottles all the time and enjoy the flavor, but nothing compares to freshly made Kombucha. I have a new Raw favorite.

So wow between Rejuvalac, Kombucha and ACV Water I am a happy chick with alternative choices. I now have instant some  probiotic drinks .Can I tell you what NEVER to do as I accidentally made myself vomit. Oh lord about 1 month ago I drank about 1/2 bottle of the GT Kombucha and before bed I took my Live refrigerated probiotic, not thinking that I just double gave myself a probiotic kick. Well lets just say I got up at 3:30 am a vomited. I can't tell you the last time I vomited. I am quit healthy when it comes to sickness. I don't get colds either since our grandaughter moved out last June 2010. Tomorrow I will take photos in the AM as the light of the room is nicer.


As of today I stuck with Collard, Kale, Celery, Cucumber, cilantro, parsley, lime,and ginger, juice all day......And I had plenty of water. I would love to get bold and attempt 1 day of pure water,but I haven't come to do that yet.
