Juice feasting Day 28th ,Saturday November 26th 2011

This is todays video-Not talking about detox in this video~

What Is Detoxification?

Detoxification is the process of clearing toxins from the body or neutralizing or transforming them, and clearing excess mucus and congestion. Many of these toxins come from our diet, drug use, and environmental exposure, both acute and chronic. Internally, fats, especially oxidized fats and cholesterol, free radicals, and other irritating molecules act as toxins. Poor digestion, colon sluggishness and dysfunction, reduced liver function, and poor elimination through the kidneys, respiratory tract, and skin all add to increased toxicity.

Detoxification involves dietary and lifestyle changes which reduce intake of toxins and improve elimination. Avoidance of chemicals, from food or other sources, refined food, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, and many drugs helps minimize the toxin load. Those lifestyle changes are a direct result of choices you make in your life. Transcendental meditation has helped me make marked improvements in not only my health and behavior but all aspects of my life. I highly recommend you look into it .

When detoxifying your colon, it is also important to incorporate probiotics in your diet to replenish your intestinal flora.

Colon cleansingBowel movements are the basis of your health. If you don’t have at least 1 bowel movement per day, you are already walking your way toward disease. Man’s body has not changed very much in the past several thousand years… however man’s diet has certainly changed a lot. All the refined sugar, white flour, hormone/antibiotics-filled meats we constantly ingest constitute an assault on our bodies. We are continuously violating our bodies by eating terrible foods. Colon cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S.

So, all congestion and toxins must be removed, and it must begin with cleansing of the bowel.

One of the most frequent bowel problems that people experience today is constipation.

A constipated system is one in which the transition time of toxic wastes is slow. The longer the “transit time,” the longer the toxic waste matter sits in our bowel, which allows them to putrefy, ferment and possibly be reabsorbed. The longer your body is exposed to putrefying food in your intestines, the greater the risk of developing disease. Even with one bowel movement per day, you will still have at least three meals worth of waste matter putrefying in your colon at all times.

Disease usually begins with a toxic bowel. Those having fewer bowel movements are harboring a potentially fertile breeding ground for serious diseases. Infrequent or poor quality bowel movements over an extended period of time may be very hazardous to your health.

Tuesday we did Thanksgiving and I drank Juice and water~

Tuesday of this week my husband and I celebrated Thanksgiving....I juiced.....I took some video on Tuesday but for some reason when I download a video here It appears 2 times. I am wanting to add video,but it won't work. Our 2 boys wanted my Turkey and stuffing, so I brined the Turkey for all 24 hours from Monday am-Tuesday am . We then took the 20 lb turkey out to dry about 1 hour and tucked herbed butter under the skin. We added the turkey to the roasting pan,put it in a cooler with ice and traveled 1 hour to get it in the oven to our 1 hour am drive. the turkey was in at 11:20 am. All was perfect as the Turkey was finished at 3:45 .The sides went into the oven to warm,and all was done and all ate food by 4:30 pm or a few minutes after. I sat with my pumpkin juice and water and loved  all the power I had in me to not not eat anything ,nor care to snitch any bites. And that is a FACT~~~~
   Just went to the YMCA to get 1 hour of a workout in. I did some arm machine and a few sets of
 legwork. I continued upstairs to the treadmill and did 45 minutes of walk and slow jogging on and off. What a way to start Thanksgiving.
I have to put together some soap bags for my annual high school craft show. We set -up Friday mi-day and sell both Saturday and Sunday. I usually so pretty good at this high school and it's only 5 minutes from our house.

School set-up in 2010

same show other table view of my 2 tables

I think we are heading to see the movie Hugo in 3 D. I love movies at the theatre in the winter. I have no desire in the summertime  unless it's  absolutely hot outside and want to stay cooler with their air conditioning. So off I go to prep for my soap selling and go catch a movie...... Sounds good to me after I down a green juice.

Here is Video after  the TUESDAY Thanksgiving meal and my juice and water I had!

Juice feasting Day 10 and 11 of 90-120...........

Another green juice of:
2 leaves of Swiss Chard
2 handfulls Spinach
5 stalks of Celery
2 tomatos
2 carrots
1/2 batch parsley
1 apple
1 lime

My yummy Vegetable Green juice today is:
1 Red Swiss chard
4 Kale leaves
handful of Dandelion
2 handfuls Arugula
3 tomatoes
1 small zucchini
2 carrot
1 garlic clove

This green juice is a tad different from 2 days ago and that is what we have to do. 

What  you have to do is change a few ingredients to make your juice zippy and exciting.  In order to stick with juicing we all have to take our time make a juice taste the results before cleaning your machine.  If you don't like the flavor you taste,then I suggest adding something else that will please the palette.

I am feeling so great and that is super as I usually feel good . So many people have massive detox symptoms if an the SAD Standard American Diet, not me. I am actually having mild symptoms. I owe it all to a primarily Raw Food Diet these last 3 years.


  From Day 1 to now day 11 here are some of what I have experienced.......


Day 1 -light head ache-not to hard core
Day 2-4  I had eye twitching off and on 
with dry eyes from day 2-5 
Kinda into myself (quiet)
Mucus at the end of my enema today--To Much info; but fact 
Day 5-11-----Wringing in my ears off and on;
my back of my tongue throat area feels strange like maybe bumpy things
I can't explain the feeling.

I brush my teeth 3-4 days with little toothpaste. This SPRY can be found at 

nutrition health stores and it's a new choice since going to the dentist 1 week ago. 

My hygienist told me about this product. My dentist likes fluoride........ I prefer to differ.

Juice feasting day 8 and 9 of my 90-120 ...........

 This was another nice calm not rainy day in the Pacific Northwest and that is a great surprise. I make handmade soap and lotion and with our economy I slowed selling my soaps at craft shows. I would of sold at a show on Saturday November 5th however I chose to not go. If I would of gone it would of been a nice dry day. Oh well, we took that nice walk instead. I am so happy with myself thus far on my juice quest. I know it is my beginning ,but I find myself constantly thinking of nothing but what this is and will continue to do for my body. Let alone lose several pounds.

Yummy mid -day V-8 drink

My hubby broke this glass(after I washed it)
 as it sat clean on my counter!!

After my lemon water after I woke up I made some juices.This is my what I call
V-8 juice:
3 Roma tomatoes
1 slice red onion
2 celery stalks
1 clove garlic
lemon
broccoli stem
4 thin asparagus
8 fresh green beans
romaine leaves- 4
zucchini-1 small
cilantro -1/2 bunch
parsley-handful
swiss chard-1 huge red leaf...........It's amazing how 1 garlic clove is very tasty in a juice,try it it you haven't done so.

Day 7 on Juice feasting of 90-120 days..........

This photo of my drink in the car in my driveway before heading to Seattle was a

JUICE OF: Beet, broccoli, cucumber, kale, lemon, and apple. It was yummy and I love beet only once in a while as it is a strong cleanser for the liver. 

My husband and our 1 dog of our 3 dogs-we have 2 doxie's too,went for a walk in Seattle and had a refreshing day in the cool crisp Seattle day. This is a treat for us as this really is our wet season and we have been lucky to have dry days. I like taking the 1 hour drive to Seattle and walk this lovely huge acreage as this land used to be Fort Lawton a Prisoner of war camp for the Civil war.

After going to Chaco Canyon I am home downloading video and this info deciding what I will make to drink tomorrow.

Day three (3) Juice feasting ...90-120 days

My juices:  green juice-kale,cucumber,spinach, beet,lemon,broccoli and ginger. I ended my day with watermelon,mint and lime juice. All is good with no detox symptoms. I have had any signs of anything 

bad,as type this I really have a buzz as I sip my green juice. All I know is I feel great.

I also sip on throughout my day too. Have a great Day and Holla to all...............

Here is a wonderful recipe from the www.juicefeasting.com site, that is recommend by David Rainoshek

From David:  Here is the tea I make many mornings during the week, and it is perfect for drinking while Juice Feasting! It is energizing, immune-building, helps your body utilize oxygen, feeds friendly probiotics (because of the polysaccharides in the goji berries), and is antagonistic to opportunists such as yeast, mold, fungus, unfriendly bacteria, and parasites! So here it is:

Make 1 to 1.5 quarts of tea with:

• Ginger (Tablespoon) *
• Pau D’Arco (Tablespoon)
• Nettle (Tablespoon)
• Horsetail (Tablespoon)
• Astragalus (Tablespoon)
• Tulsi (Holy Basil) (Tablespoon)
• Goji Berry (small handful)
• Rooibos (Tablespoon)
• Licorice Root (teaspoon)

Boil water, and place all the ingredients in. Simmer for 10 minutes, and you can drink right away. Or let it steep for hours -  and just dip into it throughout the day!

You eat the goji berries!(except when juice feasting).......  Don’t throw them away 

Day 1 Juice feasting Oct 30th ,2011

Hi all,I am back.I am in need of a cleanse and juicing is my favorite way to do it. Its late and I don't have much to say except, watch me do this and see how far I get. I am almost not wanting to add a video ,however I feel this helps me get through my days in a row.

JUICE FEASTING SUPPLEMENTS AND (SUPER)FOODS

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU ARE DOING ON A JUICE FEAST is drinking 3-4 or more quarts of fresh juice each day, and supporting your organs of elimination through enemas, exercise, skin brushing, hot/cool showers, and adequate rest. Supplements are add-ins. Some are very powerful, effective add-ins, but they are still additions. We are not supplements fanatics. Supplements are useful, particularly for re-establishing balance when less than the best diet and lifestyle has been practiced for some years. But supplements can be pharmaceuticalized. What we mean by that is that many, many people use supplements like they use pharmaceutical drugs: to mask symptoms or to make up for poor diet and lifestyle. There is no substitute for a healthy diet and life. We are going to teach you through the 92-Day Juice Feasting Program how to access the most abundant life possible, that does not require heavy supplementation but creates well-being through drawing in the best foods, thoughts, conversations, and experiences. That being said, we have very carefully chosen some very specific and powerful supplements and (super)foods to add into your Juice Feast to help your body more effectively CLEANSE – REBUILD – REHYDRATE – ALKALIZE. Some of these items will break up scar tissue, others reduce inflammation, or pull agrochemicals and industrial toxins from every cell in your body, and a few are just extremely mineral dense to make up for deficiencies established over the years. Below we are going to review what these goodies are, and the potential benefits to you. Here and in the “Juice Feasting Timeline” section, we will cover what professionals suggest as a recommended amount for these supplements and (super)foods, and the amounts that we use when Juice Feasting.

Vitalzym: A Metabolic Enzyme

Vitalzym is a safe and effective alternative medicine formulated for individuals seeking relief from inflammation and fibrosis conditions. As we age, our body’s natural production of enzymes may slow. Supplementation with Vitalzym along with proper diet and exercise helps to maintain normal enzyme levels, balancing your body’s own repair mechanisms.* Vitalzym is a safe option for alleviating chronic pain and inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis and fibrosis. Vitalzym helps reinforce the body’s defense mechanism in the following ways: • Fibrin: Normal levels help guard against the formation of fibrin. • Blood: Enzymes help cleanse the blood of debris, maintaining blood health. • Immune Function: Enzymes help maintain healthy immune systems. • Healthy Circulation: Normal enzyme levels help promote blood circulation. • Reduce Inflammation: Helps your body repair damaged tissue, such as post-operative injuries, cuts and bruises. Reduces swelling and inflammation, which often alleviates pain, as is often the case in patients with arthritis or chronic back pain. On the Juice Feast: 3 caps each, morning first thing and evening about 1 hour before bed is what we do. This is a low dose of Vitalzym, and should be safe for everyone. However, Vitalzym does have a blood-thinning effect which could be unsafe for persons on blood thinning medications. As with all of these supplements, consult your health professional.

Natural Cellular Defense (NCD): Zeolite

Some 70,000 chemicals are being dumped into our environment, 65,000 of which are potentially hazardous to our health. We live in a virtual sea of pollutants, and carry many of these toxins within us. They can be found even in unborn children. A 2004 study by the Environmental Working Group identified 287 industrial chemicals in babies’ umbilical-cord blood, including 180 known to cause cancer and 217 that are toxic to the brain and nervous system. IN MY MASTERS RESEARCH to develop the most effective nutrient dense Juice Feasting program for my students to cleanse – rebuild – rehydrate – and alkalize, I recently learned about a naturally occurring mineral called zeolite, which has a unique, negatively charged, crystalline structure. Zeolite is formed from the fusion of lava and ocean water, and combines all four elements. It has been used for more than 800 years in Asia as a remedy for overall health and well-being, and is on the FDA’s GRAS list (generally recognized as safe). Zeolite is available commercially in a purified, activated form, in Natural Cellular Defense. The results of research on zeolite is very impressive: 1. Zeolite appears to prevent and may become an important treatment for cancer. In one study, 78 percent of the 65 participants with terminal cancer (all types) are now in complete remission for 12 months (LifeLink Pharmaceuticals, 2005). 2. It has a chelation-like effect in removing heavy metals (particularly lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic), pesticides, herbicides, PCBs, and other toxins from the body. These toxins are strongly correlated with the occurrence of a wide range of diseases, including cancers and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s, autism, and dementia. 3. Zeolite also improves liver function, indirectly improving elimination of pesticides, herbicides, and xeno-estrogens. 4. Zeolite appears to block viral replication, and may prove to be a potent anti-viral and general remedy for all viruses. To date, 40 anecdotal cases of herpes zoster have reportedly been healed. Preliminary anecdotal case studies suggest that it may help alleviate rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and hepatitis C as well as the common cold and flu. 5. Zeolite’s binding power was proven during the Chernobyl disaster, when tons of it were used to remove radioactive cesium and strontium-90 before they contaminated local water systems. 6. Zeolite creates a natural buffer in the system by establishing an optimal pH level (between 7.35 and 7.45), which in turn activates healthy brain function and a strong immune system. 7. It shows promise as an effective detoxifier for prospective mothers. Recently, at the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center, Zeolite was added to the protocol for the 10-day detoxification program for prospective mothers. In two women who just completed the program, toxins in their breast tissue dropped significantly – from 12 in one and 13 in the other to only two – over the course of seven days. Although anecdotal evidence and centuries of use in Asia suggest that zeolite is safe to use even during pregnancy and breastfeeding, its safe use in pregnancy has not been proven in double-blind studies. 8. According to testimonials, zeolite promotes a sense of well-being, clarity, and happiness. It appears to do this as a consequence of eliminating toxins and also, according to preliminary research, by increasing serotonin production. One study suggests that zeolite also helps relieve depression. 9. Anecdotal reports suggest that zeolite increases energy, immune function, and general health. 10. Zeolite neutralizes the formation of nitrosamines in the stomach. Found in processed meats, nitrosamines are one cause of stomach cancer. Another positive effect on the stomach, according to many anecdotal reports, is relief of acid reflux. 11. Testimonials suggest that zeolite captures triggering antigens, which cause allergies, migraines, and asthma, decreasing the rate and severity of these symptoms. 12. Zeolite directly absorbs free radicals and thus decreases free radical activity and damage to the body. This zeolite product is a clear, tasteless, and odorless liquid that, taken daily as oral drops, supports us in living healthy, happy, and active lives in an increasingly toxic world. For an excellent article on zeoliote, read Natural Cellular Defense and zeolite – is it the next big thing in nutritional therapies for cancer and chronic disease? by Mike Adams of NewsTarget.com On the Juice Feast: Natural Cellular Defense: 3 drops, 4 times per day in juice or water. It is easiest just to place three drops in each juice when you make your 4 quarts in the morning! NCD can be taken for the entire duration of the Juice Feast.

Superfood: Bee Pollen Granules

Bee Pollen is my number one favorite superfood. There are several reasons we include pollen as part of the Juice Feast: ONE: NUTRITION: Pollen is said to contain all the elements necessary for the sustenance of human life.  The San Francisco Medical Research Foundation estimates that pollen has more than 5000 different enzymes and co-enzymes, which is more than any other food in existence.  The high amount of enzymes, such as catalase, amylase, and pectin-splitting enzymes, make pollen an aid to digestion.  Some research suggests that pollen is absorbed directly from the stomach into the bloodstream.  Pollen is a vegetarian source of human-active B12, most of the B vitamins, vitamins A, C, D, and E, rutin, all the essential amino acids, the essential fatty acid called linoleic acid, fats, complex carbohydrates, simple sugars, RNA and DNA, steroid hormone substances, a plant hormone similar to a secretion of the human pituitary called gonadotrpin, 15% lecithin, and many other unknown factors.  According to research by doctors from France, Italy, and the former USSR, pollen is the richest source of protein in nature.  Gram for gram, pollen contains an estimated 5-7 times more protein than meat, eggs, or cheese.  The protein in pollen is in a predigested form and therefore easy to assimilate.  Pollen is also abundant in trace minerals, such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, manganese, potassium, copper, silicon, sulphur choline, titanium, and sodium.  These minerals are highly assimilable because they are bound organically from plant metabolism. TWO: COMPASSION: We miss chewing anything on a Juice Feast. This is one thing that you can chew on for the entire Feast, whether it is 7 days or 92. THREE: LIFE PRACTICE: This is a major longevity food. By eating about 1 Tablespoon per day, you will develop a strong positive bond with this food that will last for a lifetime. When buying pollen, get it from a reputable source, organic, and preferably from a refrigerator. It should cost no more than $12-15 a pound, and can cost as little as $6-7 when bought from the beekeeper. On the Juice Feast: 1 Tablespoon per day, maximum. Everyone who is new to bee pollen should start by placing 1 pollen granule under the tongue, to check for an allergic reaction. About 1/2 of 1 percent of the population is allergic to pollen as a food, but please check. If you are in doubt, please consult an allergist. Many people using pollen who have allergies during pollen season find a partial or complete resolution of their allergies by combining a plant-based diet and eating bee pollen as a life practice.

Day 9 of Only Juice.....

Oh my I am proud of me,and I have tried this journey at least 4 times only stopping anywhere from Day 10-Day 21, I will say I feel more in tune with who I am and what I am doing. It is a decision one has to first make up in your mind and only take 1 meal at a time or this path will not work....
Now I know I am only on Day 9 but this time I know it is working better for me this time as I feel I am in a TOTALLY  Mind Set more then any past time. I am feeling great a different and really energized so far except at day 1 when I had the headache. As I do have a slight headache this morning for a short while today -not bad though.

Here is what I do when I leave my home I make sure I take water always, a green juice second and I pretty much keep my nettle tea made at all time. Luckily I live near woods and nettles are everywhere. There is nothing like a glass of nettle tea and home grown mint~

Difference's That I feel: 
I feel really clean inside and out....Skin all over and so on 
I also feel Really at piece -No attitude
Very proud and loving

What I juiced today: and other liquid
24 ounces Nettle tea with mint
Green juice of  Tomatoes,swiss chard,celery,spinach,garlic,radish,cilantro,parsley, and lime -V-8 ish
lots of water
2 Rainer apples,(like golden delicious),butter lettuce ,2 celery stalks,small bulb of Anise, 5  leaves dino kale(Lacinato)
handful of parsley- Very sweet tooth friendly delicious juice

Recipe above with 1 extra apple added

Huge beautiful Butter lettuce,kale,parsley was from my own garden today!

Walked the water border kinda near our home and round trip was 4 miles and we will do it again .What a great walk. If I don't make it to the YMCA I make sure I walk near home or elsewhere. It really is a great way to end any given day good probiotic before bedtime too. I just so happen to have  new bottle since my other one is just about empty. I also keep these Live Probiotics in my refrigerator .

Bath,with dry brushing first. I also  have my wheat grass before bed like the 1.5 hours before crawling into bed as I talked about in the past-and  I take 2 capsules of this above photo before bedtime.

Oh I found a new tea treat idea tonight-I took 1 teaspoon of raw organic Honey and Washington bee pollen into ginger tea . I have to keep a spoon in the cup as I drink as the Bee pollen won't melt ,but great taste. In the past I also take the same teaspoon of honey and bee pollen in a Pyrex dish into a pan of warm water. What I do is slightly melt the honey and eat it all in one bite and it all dissolves into my mouth! YUMMO!!!

Day 7 of my juicing.......So Far so good.....

I started my day with an outside 3 mile walk by my home.........The day here in Washington State will be 82 outside and in this state that is wonderful.......Always a plus in my day. I start my day with water and a 1/2 of a lemon squeezed into the water with 2 MSM capsules. Enema's I only do every other day  unless I feel the need to do more days. I need to take time to juice so my first juice of this day was my Coconut water, grapefruit, orange and Vita mineral Green. Very refreshing on a warm summers day.
  As number seven is a luck number I can't imagine what will be better then concentrating and living a juicy life for a little while.

As of yesterday being that 4th of July, I can say I am proud. Why am I proud-I  will say in the past I would stay away from potlucks knowing I would most likely cave in and eat Raw at the potluck. No not this time, I really am dedicating my life right now in this moment to juicing and that is all I am doing right now. I am not however drinking all 4 quarts a day as being the standard requirement. I  have no desire for all that much liquid  and I am only 5 feet tall. I drink water too of course, and water is kinda forgotten when doing my juice. I am a big water drinker and always have been,as my body  actually craves water! Speaking of the  4th of July Raw Potluck in Seattle at an awesome Park with walking trails. I also met a gal from Penni S.'s RawfoodRebab that I had as a friend but we had never met in person before. The gal is Irina and she just joined RFRehab and I saw that she lives kinda close to where I live,so I friended her on that site. We had a great chat and I know we will be chatting and seeing one another in person as we have the same interest in many things.

I am so proud of me and I am making many juices always starting with a hearty green juice with kale or spinach as a base of my greens or a multitude of greens. I am also making most of my drinks low glycemic, as my body is not a big fan of too many natural fruit sugars.

How I feel today: I feel great but My tongue feels yucky as I am making sure I brush my tongue and use a tongue cleaner---Everyone juicing really needs one of these as our body's detox the tongue gets white and just feels terrible. I only had a headache on day1 so far as I am not complaining.........I feel and see changes in my body already. I just love juicing and wish I could tell everyone how great it feels to give our digestion system a break and see what our body eliminates when doing an enema......DONE :-)


For the rest of my day I made my V-8 Raw style juice:
tomato,basil,zucchini,spinach,kale,celery,cucumber, cilantro,jalapeno,lime ,garlic,1/2 small red pepper and pinch of sea salt and 1 teaspoon of  flax oil. This is a very nice drink very good as it's so full of yummy vegetables.I made 2 -32 ounce jars of juice this go around. I am heading to exercise at the YMCA once I read a little on my Juice feasting .com info I printed. I read every day on this to keep knowledge on juicing in my head. See Ya.

I blog for myself~but it is work

Tomorrow Monday March 28th, 2011will be another Day one adventure in the Dianne saga of a"Juice Feasting Adventure" in the Pacific Northwest. This is my journey and I need to write my plan in order to help me succeed. Now I have prepared myself with several recipes and tons of new reading material that keeps my brain happy with knowledge. What I did was buy a big spiral notebook that has pockets in order to put important info into them in order to help me through my journey. What my plan is to sit down every evening and plan my following days menu. So off to watch some T V before bed~

After I woke up I made: ~Salt water flush( it is good ) when needed

Juicing, this will be another round.The power had gone out 3 times in my area in the past 2 weeks and as a juicer that stinks. I don't have alternative juice places local where I live. So when the power goes out I am in a bind. And the "Whole Foods " kinda near me and still 1 hour away doesn't sell juice like other "Whole Foods" in other states make. I sure wish I lived close to juice making bars. I have 1 place that makes juice 25 minutes away, but it too was out of power.

 The cold grey days really make it very difficult to make 4 qt per day,so juice,tea and warmed vegi soup is what I did today.

What I had today:

Water with lemon and 2 MSM capsules.

Green juice of Pineapple,parsley,cilantro,cucumber,ginger and lemon
I also had lots of herbal warm tea

I am trying to keep up on my craft show makings and this is why I have been gone~I put these photos(muscle rub and healing salve) on this site was added correctly by me, but this program added them sideways. Oh well,the point is I have been busy getting things made like my healing salves and my muscle rubs . Now when I make soap that different ,those take me 1 month to cure before I can sell any to customers. So I am back blogging with a few shows left for the year~More time again.

Yep, messed up my weekend and ate non raw......Starting my juicing all over

What in the world am I doing to myself . I  over and over feel like a person that is not strong enough to think Raw/Vegan and only Raw/Vegan. I think mentally I am saying oh a little won't hurt me and low and behold I cheat and give in. I won't say what I did ,but I know I did wrong and now I feel like crap in my tummy.
You can almost always know I am a bad girl,when I avoid my own blog. My blog is a structured place for me to say my piece in becoming a betterin  raw foodie person as I know most always that I am and continue and strive to be, and to make better choices and learn from my mistakes. I am honest with myself and know better what is right verses wrong. I don't claim to be perfect ,but sure get angry with myself for letting my mind take a new direction. And the direction is a negative one. With this being said,I am a better me today then I was this past weekend. I will continue to stay raw,that is a given.

Things in my future days I will concentrate on:

* Don't let  the cold weather get me down

*Use my spiral notebook for journaling  -DAILY-don't forget

*Buy juice groceries 3 days in advance for 3 days of juicing

*Make sure my vegetable soup broth is always made and not run out

*Always drink no less then 70 ounces of water per day

*Drink decaf tea in the evening and take my probiotic caps before bed


I feel much better that I said my piece today......

Here is a few photos look outsing ide of my front door today. Snow is beautiful, however I don't want to be a part of it.

By the way I  water fasted in my first half of the day today Monday. My day started with a Salt Water Flush in order to rid some toxins and  to make the tummy get back to where it needs to be. My second half of my day was a pure green juice with NO apple or other sweet fruit. I used a red pepper to sweeten my green juice today.

32 ounces -Cucumber,celery,cilantro,parsley,red pepper, 1 carrot,lemon,ginger.
And I do feel way better.......A new Day 1 today!!!!

Eat the colors of the Rainbow!! Day 21

Eat the colors of the rainbow. It's easy to identify foods with the highest levels of antioxidants—they're often the most colorful. Carrots and sweet potatoes have plenty of beta carotene; bell peppers, strawberries and tomatoes contain vitamin C; tomatoes and watermelon have lycopene; and dark leafy greens like spinach contain lutein. Blueberries have anthocyanins. Red grapes have resveratrol. And the list goes on—so banish the beige!

Eating a serving of vegetables or fruit from each color group is one way to get the nutrients and fiber your body craves. You can buy them frozen, fresh, or dried.

RED: red apples, red grapes, raspberries, cherries, watermelon, cranberries, strawberries, pomegranates, pink or red grapefruit, rhubard, radishes, tomatoes, red peppers, radicchio, beets and red onions.

ORANGE and YELLOW: Carrots, pumpkin, yellow and orange peppers, corn, yellow tomatoes, squash, and sweet potatoes, peaches, nectarines, cumquats, starfruit, apples, apricots, cantaloupe, oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, mangoes, pineapple and lemons.

GREEN: Dark leafy greens such as romaine lettuce, red tip lettuce, green leaf lettuce, swiss chard, kale, bok choy, spinach, and arugula. Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, green beans, snap peas, edamame, zucchini, green onions, celery, asparagus, artichokes, parsnips, leeks, cucumber, collard greens, okra, green apples, limes, green grapes, kiwi fruit, honeydew melon, pears and avocado.

BLUE AND PURPLE: eggplant, purple cabbage, olives, raisins, blueberries, blackberries, plums, purple grapes, boysenberries, dates, figs.

WHITE: bananas, white nectarines, white peaches, jicama, palm, garlic, cauliflower, mushrooms, shallots, onions, white corn, water chestnuts and potatoes.

Happy days are here! Very hard at times to keep the mind on the juicing.It's a mental game every single day. All is good though. I feel so clean ,so fresh,so vibrant . As for what I have been juicing:

Top of the morning: Water ,lemon and 2 MSM Capsules. And all through the day water, when I leave the house my spring water is with me at all times. I always was a good water drink'in person,remembering to take my water when I leave the house is a must now. And a new habit I have gotton uses too.

Today I started with : Natalia Rose Green lemonade recipe:

Green Juice  Recipe (Green Lemonade)  64 ounces of this awesome drink
