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 8 Juicing.............All great!

I am trucking along on the juice thing. I really have it ,I really do FINALLY!!!!!! I absolutely have no desire to chew food and my mind is set to not think of food either at this point. Hip Hip Hooray! I am stoked. I feel so good,the sun is shining and I fell clean I mean really clean -in and out.
  You know the more I think about this journey the more I get why I really am doing it. Knowing that I grew up with everything  food wise meat included. Sadly I was brought up to eat everything on our plates as kids. I say crap on that . I will say I really never was a huge meat eater even as a child ,and could remember at Christmas for instance we always had Prime Rib ,I say So What. I ate it as we had to but never liked it and Thanks god I am now nor never was a fan of steak. Yuk I say,as I was more of a fish lover. Long story short as I grew older I chose to take a cleaner eating approach and we raised our kids with a balanced diet ,but as they got older they also chose to  eat whatever  they want. I myself really made a turn to Raw around age 49 as I am going to be 53 years young in Dec of this year. I love eating Raw /Vegan food and I feel so good doing so. Don't knock this lifestyle if you haven't tried it~




Lambs quarter from the woods
My lambs quarter juice with other stuff too




Today was another sunny 81 degree day -just beautiful......After awakening and drinking 32 ounces of water with lemon squeezed into it I made this~I made this wonderful amount of juice today from these ingredients: 2 Cup lambs quarters,4 dandelion leaves,1.5 cucumber,6 stalks celery, small romaine,1 small zucchini 2 limes, 1C. spinach 1 golden delicious apple....And this drink was not bitter either as lambs quarter is mild.



Discovering Edible Lambs Quarter Weeds
Lambs Quarters.thumbnail Surprising Lambs QuartersAs with any edible weed or wild plant don’t eat unless you are positive of its identification and that it has not been exposed to chemical sprays or pollution. So if you’re not familiar with lambs quarter refer to a good edible weed field guide or consult with someone who is familiar with the plant before eating it.
Lambs quarter can frequently be found growing in vegetable gardens, on disturbed soil, and along the fringes of fields and banks. The plants can grow to about four feet in height with multiple branches forming off of a main squarish looking central stem. Lambs quarter leaves often have a white, pollen-like substance coating their undersides.
Now the husband and I are going to give all 3 dogs outside since it is incredibly warm today and the weather is said to change tomorrow~


I always end my day with a bath and skin brushing. I also drink wheatgrass 1.5 hours before bedtime. Why 1.5 hours I don't know I just do it

Day 5 of juicing........I feel great!

Amazing ,I just did an enema and its amazing what comes out on just consuming juice juice.That is all I will say,and I feel great,but not as much energy as yesterday though.
People may ask why juice when you can eat just raw food and cleanse the body. That is correct ,although I have been trying to get pure Raw into my head since Oct 2008 and everyday since then I have almost all of my meals Raw. My days  always start with a smoothie or juice,most often juice. I am a huge fan of juicing. Although I am a huge fan I somehow drop drinking juices around day 10. My last juicing was 21 days but I really know this is right -right now.
After I did my enema I took my cleansing herbs and had water I made a small 12 Ounce juice of  : Fennel,lemon,ginger and kale. I have this drink at a place in Seattle and I love fennel in any of my drinks as it it so refreshing and fennel is great for treating congestion or conjunctivitis, stimulating appetite, treating colic in infants, preventing muscle spasms, and relieving gas. The nutrients in fennel juice contain essential vitamins and minerals that promote relief for an upset stomach and it is commonly used for cancer patients after chemotherapy to help rebuild the digestive system. Fennel juice is also good for eye conditions, such as night blindness or a weak optic nerve. In addition, if you add beet juice to carrot and fennel, the efficacy of all three creates a remedy for anemia and excessive menstruation.


Manganese

According to the "Juicing Forum," fennel juice contains manganese, which is nutritionally essential for helping to break down amino acids and produce energy. The Vitamins and Nutrition Center says manganese also helps nourish the brain, aids in skeletal development, and helps maintain sex hormone production and regulate blood sugar levels.
Zinc
Fennel juice contains high amounts of zinc, which helps to reduce intestinal spasms and increase movement of the small intestines, according to Helpwithcooking.com. Zinc helps to heal wounds and is also important in enzyme reactions. It is also particularly beneficial for skin health, maintaining a healthy immune system, and building resistance to infection. Regular consumption of fennel juice helps relieve skin conditions such as eczema and acne, and the zinc in fennel juice is effective for treating prostate problems, maintaining healthy liver function, developing muscle growth, and metabolizing energy, carbohydrates, lipids and proteins.

Vitamins

According to Helpwithcooking.com, fennel juice is a healthy source of vitamin A and vitamin B-complex. Vitamin A is found in some plant-based foods, including fennel, which supply beta-carotene. Lifeclinic.com notes that your body converts beta-carotene into vitamin A, which has antioxidant properties that rid the body of free radicals that cause tissue and cellular damage. Vitamin B-complex, which is made up of vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, and B12; biotin, choline and inositol, plays an important role in producing energy, maintaining a healthy nervous system, assisting in proper digestion, and maintaining healthy hair, skin and nails, according to healthandgoodness.com.


This is why I chose to juice again:
I want to clean my colon well
love to drink juice and give my body a break for the usual digestion process.
Challenge myself in this journey
loss weight and feel great
Stay Raw once my juicing is over

Starting Over Day 1 Juice feast all over again~

Well I must admit I went wrong a few days ago. I indulged into a salad with hubby and it was not here at home it was a Chipotle . I had a Romaine  salad no meat (heck no),however it had sauteed vegetables (onion with green peppers),lettuce, corn (dumb move) and the vinaigrette that they supply. All items are fresh ,but who cares when I was juicing , RIGHT~Why did I give in and let my mind take over in such a way! My body eliminated it that day once I arrived home. Loose stool which was to be expected happened. I am not giving up. I owe this to myself to succeed in my journey. An enema is on schedule today first because of my dumb move. I am starting juice day today with citrus  and Vitamineral green.  Maybe this will flush the other yuk out of me.

              Today I juiced :

2 grapefruit, 5 small oranges,1 teas. of Vita-Mineral green powder-Yummy stuff together. This made 18 ounces. It was a good start to a :

 64 ouncesThen for the rest of my day I had Romaine,kale,cucumber,celery,apple and lemon

ended the night with pure coconut water from 2 coconuts.Hubby makes a pudding or smoothie for a snack for himself.

"New beginning"

True Love is one thing that every heart makes a wish for,
It is something that you would want to give to one and all,

It is the only hope for a better tomorrow,

The only reliever for all your pain and sorrow.

It establishes a connection between your body and soul,

Gives you so much joy and happiness that you crave for more,

When you experience it you listen to the divine music that is so sweet to hear,

And you tread the long path of life, together without any fear.

Then the world down here means nothing more to you,

Coz what you wanted all your life is now with you,

You don’t have to strive hard to remain in the state that you are in,

Because now you are already reborn with a new life- "A new Beginning…"  by Nandini



Attitude and how one FEELS have a HUGE effect on the body. If we FEEL good, and actually believe what we're eating is good for us and that it will make us lose weight, it will!

So, attitude, and flooding ones body, one's spirit and mind with POSITIVE energy and GOOD FEELINGS no doubt have MUCH to do with weight loss success.
