Day five...

So, as it turned out juice fasting is not good for mammy's milk or baby, so I had to modify to an almost raw diet. I've been juicing along with fresh fruits and veggies, raw nuts and whole grains. Now, thats not to say that I have not cheated a bit, I have been eating bb&j on wheat bread (instead of whole grain). But other then that its been all raw foods until last night when we caved and got a PIZZA and then to make matters worse we rode our bikes to get ice cream... oh the shame. At least we did not take the car... lol! I only had 2 small pieces of pizza and we both had a big fresh salad.

Today I'm back on track. I have gone 5 days without coffee. The last coffee I had was on Friday at 12:30pm so I plan on ending my coffee fast on Friday. It is hard enough when I'm home but we are camping this weekend and I know it will be much better with coffee :)

The plan is to make fresh eating a life style for our family. I know the better we eat, the better we feel. And the better we feel the more we have to offer to each other and to those around us.

God bless!

Juice Fast Day 1 of 10

Hy Husband and I watched a documentary "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead". It was made by a man who was sick and over weigh, he went 60 days consuming nothing but freshly juiced fruits and veggies. By the end of his 60 day's he had changed his life. My Honey and I decided we would like to give his shorter fast a try and have started a 10 day fast... Are we crazy? maybe! We eat mostly natural, organic foods, we don't eat red meat at all so why fast? We are both terribly addicted to coffee and I eat ice cream and/or cookies every day. Our biggest issue is that we have no energy. We are both 30ish and should not feel so tired at the end of the day that we can's play with our kids. So the plan is to feel healthier and more energized at the end of our 10.

I will try to post daily of my progress.

Day 1:
Today I feel tired and foggy. I live on coffee so cutting it out is hard. I also love sugar (ice cream and cookies) so cutting that out had been hard too. I think the worst is feeding my kids. We took them to SubWay for dinner tonight and it was all I could do not to steal their food. But I resisted!

The juice is has been ok or even good until we juiced Beets and Kale with carrots, ginger and apples and it's making me nauseous. I wont be doing that again.

I have heard so many people say that they feel great at the end, even by day 3 your body starts to feel so much better then it was before, so I am waiting for that and leaning on my honey to pull me through. He makes it look so easy...
Until tomorrow,
Michelle
