Day 3
I woke early this morning at 5am with excrutiating pain in my left leg. What started with a pain behind my left knee yesterday by midnight last night had turned into whole leg pain. It felt like the nerves in my leg where being pinched and for a while I imagined some kind of blood clot. I have to admit I felt quite worried and tempted to see a Doctor. Thankfully a hot epsom salts bath eased the pain some what and by mid morning it was gone. So strange!!
On a positive note my weight this morning was
133.8kg....thats another loss of 1.5kg. Total for 2 full days is
2.8kg (6.2 pounds)
When i drove the kids to school I noticed I could move the seat forward.......normally my stomach is pressed hard against the stearing wheel. Obviously lots of fluid loss in my stomach!
What I drank today
250ml water, 2 tablespoons bentonite clay and 2 teaspoons phylium husks
500ml water, lemon, msm
300ml detox tea
1L swamp water LOL thats what it tasted like. Celery, sunflower sprouts, green capsicum, lettuce and carrot juice. Really hard to get down
1L watermelon juice
1L watermelon juice
500ml water, honey lemon msm....I really couldn't stomach any more juice tonight. I so wanted to drink more greens but I had some nausea
500ml water with 2 tablespoons bentonite clay and 2 teaspoons phylium husks
Not the full 4 Litres of juice today but i just couldn't fit it in.
Around lunch time today I was overcome with emotions. Tearily I had to leave work for 1/2 an hour and have a good cry. It started when my Dad rang and next thing I was filled with so much love and greatfulness to my parents that I couldn't hold it in. It came from really deep and I just couldn't stop it. Strange for me as I'm not known for my emotional outbursts.
I was really tired this afternoon but about an hour ago I had a burst of energy and did some much needed house work. Actually I feel really good tonight apart from a dull tooth ache in the tooth I have a mercury filling in. Interesting!
Still having mild heart palpitations when i lie down.
I still can't believe I'm actually doing this and doing it well.
Yippeeee!!!! For me this is a real breakthrough!
Now my legs better i'm hoping for a good nights sleep and some sweet dreams.

Day 2
Well after a very sound and peaceful sleep (except for 3 trips to the bathroom) I jumped on the scales. Todays weight 135.3kg down 1.3kg in just 1 day. No doubt fluid but still a good result.
Today I have had
15ml Bentonite clay and 2 teaspoons phylium husks (to help slow down diarreah)
500mls water and msm and lemon
750ml pau d'arco tea
1L celery, cucumber, wheatgrass and grape juice
1L watermelon juice
1L watermelon juice
1L lettuce, carrot and barley grass juice
1 niacin
1 co q10
The full 4L (1 gallon) of juice today Yippee!!
I had a mild headache for much of the morning but this afternoon I feel great. Some hunger...no not hunger but desire for food today but it is mere thoughts. I have no temptation to stop.
Still weeing like there is no tomorrow but no further watery bowel issues
Already i feel different....my knee is less painful and i feel healthier already.
I have had cramping in my left leg this afternoon and it feels abit weak...not sure why.
I'm feeling a little disapointed that I didn't wait to start the global juice feast on March 1 and part of me wants to stop and say I'll just do it when everyone else does, but somehow I feel this would be a cop out and a return to excuses as to why i shouldn't do it.
I'm very surprised at how well I do feel actually. In the past when I've done a liver cleanse I've had really bad reactions. Mostly severe headaches, weakness and nausea but so far so good. I wonder if the herbs I had used in the past were too harsh for my body or the cleanse too deep too quick
I feel blessed to be doing this!! Yeehaaa!!!!!

Its now the end of day 1 Juice feasting and I feel better than I expected. I can't believe I'm actually doing this finally. I have a surprisingly steady motivation cause I really want to change my life.

Today i had

7.30 am 3 cups Pau D'arco tea
9.30am 1Litre celery, wheatgrass, lettuce, ginger and apple juice

4pm 2 cups of water with lemon and 1/2 Tablespoon MSM and 1Tablespoon Beepollen
6pm 1Litre carrot, celery and lettuce juice
Total 3 Litres juice. 1Litre short of my target 4L but i found it quite difficult to drink so much. I hope over the next couple of days to work up to the full 4Litres
I also took 12 x spiralina
1 Magnesium
1 Niacin
1 co q10
Wee wee all the way home.....oh my goodness I have spent half the day on the toilet. I'm kind of glad i didn't drink the rest of the juice. I wonder how long it takes to get used to to the huge quantity of fluids?
I've also had diarreah since lunchtime...from reading the literature this is entirely normal.
Detox symptoms
Very mild headache this afternoon. Some tiredness and mild nausea and stomach pain.
Positives
Less swelling in my feet this afternoon
only 1-2 minutes of heart palpitations when I had an afternoon nap
Negatives
The green juices will take a bit of getting used to
Running to the toilet every 1/2 hour
I experienced no real hunger today, infact i felt bloated for most of the day and extremely full.
At around lunch time i started to think about chocolate, chips....all my binge foods but it only lasted a few minutes and i felt no real temptation.
When I came home from work the kids were making omlette for dinner and it smelt good so I went out on the verandah to drink my juice.
Mild acid reflux symptoms tonight probably because i layed down straight after drinking my last juice.
How do I feel....very excited and happy to be doing this.
I CAN DO THIS! YES

In the begining
If someone told you that to regain your health, lose weight and possible save your life and change your destiny all I you had to do was drink 4 Litres of raw fruit and vegetable juices each and every day for 92 days, would you do it?
This is something I have been pondering for the last month or so. I mean i need a miracle. Not something that just feels good for awhile but to do something that changes my life forever.
Today I weighed in at 136.8kg (300.96 pounds) Not only was it the heaviest I have ever been but I felt so tired and miserable. My knees hurt from carrying this weight around and i feel like an old women.
IT IS NOW TIME TO ACT...TO CHANGE MY DESTINY!
Tomorrow I intend to start a planned juice feast. I am informed....I've read everything available to me on juice feasting. I have my fresh organic produce ready, my juicer assembled and here in my blog I plan to write about my journey.
Join me if you like as I head out into the unknown. As I attempt to change my life. This journey is sure to be bumpy but I am so excited and can't wait for tomorrow to start.
