Day 30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Juice Feast Ends Here...

Oh my gosh its day 30 and Im so glad that Im at home to end this cleanse....
This 30 day journey for me was phenominal!! I dont actually feel that I have been this healthy nutritionally since well, EVER! I'm on top of my game!
~At the beginning of the feast I really didn't think I could do longer than 3 days-let alone 30...and so I feel really pleased and quite smug with myself at this point. Ive consumed nothing but fruit and vegetable juices, coconut water and superfoods for the last 30 days!

Ive dropped 10Ilbs- (not as much as I thought I would- but hey) I feel so much better in my clothes. My thoughts are much much clearer, my energy levels are off the charts, and I'm so proud of myself. Really I used to have so many excuses for not getting to work on my health. I had been looking for that extra something to raise my level of health and now Ive found it.
Ive had so much support during the last 30 days; and I want to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you for sharing your love with me. I could not have done this without you!
Ive learned so much more about healing the body, parasites,detoxing,rejeuvinating the body and most of all MYSELF! For me this Juice Feast was about re-jeuvenating/re-alkalising and re-fuelling my body...and thats all been taken care of. it really was a feast of abundance not deprivation!

Over the next 2 months I intend to give back to the community more and I will be updating my web-site with my new-found experiences- so watch that space! (www.newlifejourneys.com).

I will continue juicing for at least 2 meals a day and will move away from my vegetarian diet and into a healthy raw vegan diet- but this time leaning towards a raw percentage of 70%. Before the juice feast I had been juicing a fair bit and having a cooked vegan dinner and also experimenting with raw-vegan dishes. Now I know its totally sustainable and this diet provides my body with optimal nutrition and gives my body the fuel to live. Im going for it BIG TIME! as my mum always says One step at a time!
For me listening to my body has been the key, taking time out for myself and ultimately giving my body what its been asking for- for years!

I'm breaking my fast with soaked prunes and water and will slowly be adding solid foods back into my body over the next few days or so.....

THANK-YOU for taking the time to read my blog.
As I created this experience for me, I've also created it for you!

So, Be Well

Day 25-

Off to work again..........awoke this morning feeling real energetic! Im so pleased with myself these days- I cant believe im still going after 24 days. I love my new look and my new look loves meeeeeeee.
Ive had a strong urge to re-read a couple of books to strengthen my mind and to help encourage me on my journeys to optimum health.
They are: The sunfood diet success system by David Wolfe, and Spiritual Nutriton by Gabriel Cousens MD.
I wanted to share a paragragh with you from Sunfood diet success;

"One of the greatest values of The Sunfood Diet is that it opens you up to the idea that many of your other deep-seated beliefs may be totally false. The effects of adopting The Sunfood Diet disassembles your view of the world. Once you experience that eating cooked and artificially-grown food immediately detracts from the normal functioning of your body, you will begin to question many other aspects of your belief system. So, The Sunfood diet acts like a battering ram crumbling away the stagnated belief systems of your mind. It allows you to grow in new directions you never would have predicted. You will be ready to try new things and to test new approaches to life's daily challenges."


I have been thinking a lot these few days about my personal cravings.
What things am I attached to?... Which things do I need to let go of.....? Interestingly enough the same craving keep coming up for me every few days....(I swear I can smell them too) they are that strong.....
I see and can smell Coffee/Potato Chips/red wine. Now I have not drank coffee nor eaten potato chips for over 3years, but I have eaten chip shop chips last year! Plus I do really enjoy red wine!! ;)

I find that Im mostly craving (the crunching) action nowadays. So Im making a real effort to chew my juices more so that I may eliminate this craving, and to produce more saliva to kick-start the breakdown process in my mouth; as it should be.

Today I drank:
mineral water, msm + lemon and ginger
1 tbls aloe vera juice
my green superfood juice (greens + powder,coconut water,goji berries,1 apple, 1 pear,celery)
pomegranate seeds and juice with orange juice

and during the flight whilst working I drank MASTER CLEANSE.
FLIGHT TIME 10HRS 50MINS.......HUH
