90 Day Juice Feast

Okay, I must start as I mean to go on as we jump exuberantly into 2012 ~ to do this I have begun a 90 Day Juice Feast!

Woah, I never thought I would be committing to something like this, after all it does seem an awful long time when you first look at it, but, when you look deeper, it is in fact not that long at all, with how fast time flies and all.

Only a 1/4 of the year and that will be gone in a flash and Spring will be here in all her glory!

Now, some of you may or may not know, that I have been on this road of rawsomeness for around 2 years now, with ups and downs and sidetracking galore, with it comes periods of denial about what I am actually eating when in the cooked food world.  These foods have ranged from home made veggie soups to the very un-friendly pork sausages when craving meat hits me (thankfully not that often) included in this was bread which became more frequent as did cheese...all with horrible and undesirable bodily effects like bloating, wind and palpitations.
Why eat it if that is what it does?  Well, addictions are hard to break aren't they?

So, here we go, with 2012 to be one of the biggest years for transformation and healing, I pledged to go the whole hog starting on January 1st. This feast will take me up to the end of March, and then in April I fly out to Bali for 4 weeks training with Elaina Love's Pure Joy Culinary Academy and the Raw Chef Certificate!
To ensure that I am not flying out with out breaking my feast correctly I plan to re-introduce solid foods in week 10, with one meal per day of a Green Smoothie, salad or soup, but remain at the level of 90% juice until week 12 when more solid foods will be brought in to get used to chewing again in prep for the course which is 3 weeks of gourmet raw (low Glycemic though).

How did I prepare to begin this feast?
Well, the week or so leading up to 1st January, I went high juice every day ~ eating an evening meal of cooked or raw foods that were vegetarian and a little fish on occasion.
In the last 3 days preparing I moved the main meal to lunch time so that my body got used to having a juice for supper.
The day before the feast began I signed up for 90 days membership of David Rainoshecks Juice feasting site www.juicefeasting.com
This is an invaluable resource for anyone wishing to do any length of juice feast and the information contained in the site is VAST!

I began to film my progress, which you can find on here through other YouTube videos, and will be filming almost daily to log all the ups and lows of this 3 month adventure.

Why am I doing this?
To fully engage my body, mind and spirit in the healing powers of juice feasting
To finally end my addiction to foods
To fully connect to all things in a deeper level and higher vibration
To ensure my body is at it's best to have the mercury fillings removed on the 21st February and continue to heal afterwards
To release that stubborn waste that is no longer serving me as it once did.
To end the pain of a toxic body
To further my knowledge and experience of the Live Food as healer and so further be of service to many who need guidance as they step onto their own healing path.

So far it has begun well and I have not had any hunger pangs or too much detox symptoms yet...If I feel a little tweak of hunger I grab another pint of juice or a large cup of herbal tea laced with raw honey!

Stay tuned for more as the weeks turn into months...it is going to be one heck of a journey

Namaste
