This photo of veg's is so pretty I would think it was fake,but in reality I did something unthinkable.You know I love juicing and I am in the juicing spirit.I headed to Seattle to PCC and Whole foods and bought 3 days of Organic juicing supplies.Then I came home soaked all my veg's.ALL VEG'S by the way NO FRUITS .I went to my Zumba class while the husband mowed the lawn.By now its 8:30 pm .BUT when I went to exercise my hubby before mowing set up my table outside with my jars,juicer knife strainer, plastic bags(line my juicer),garbage can and all thing needed to juice.I wanted to do this outside because of the amount ,and the mess I knew I was going to encounter.Oh Did I say it took me and hubby 2 hours to juice ,Strain and clean up the supplies!Yes 10:45 pm I was in my house again.

Now as you read this and see the photos you are probably saying ,um juicing 3 days in advance is not good for the nutrition in those jars Dianne.And you know what I have to say~If Dave The Trucker did this and he is alive and losing weight and feeling good ,then I can do this too.It is August 12th and I am starting my juicing with these green juices .Actually I think it will be more like 4 days worth of juice........I will let you know~

2nd Juicing Day

I started my morning with lemon in 32 oz of water. I first did an enema ,cheaper then a colonic right now.I felt the need and then around 12:00 noon I made my juice of: 2 pink grapefruit ,1 orange and mint juiced,Yes, no greens. Always brush your teeth after citrus drinks ,so that the enamel on your teeth don't get messed up.

I am on a quest once again to freshen up my body and feel as cleansed and forfilling as can be.I love juicing and I can't say it enough.The more a person juices the more your get more energised and its a wonderful feeling.I have taught myself with inner talking that food will always be there.I mean the chewing kind of food.As we know it juice is food in its greatest form too I might add.

I have to step back to last night though,my hubby and I played racket ball for 1 hour,then I did the treadmill for 1 hour.I usually jog for the whole hour anywhere from 4.1-4.7 speed,but last night I only walked with very little jogging. I thought that was weird.......NO ENERGY! I think it was due to this fresh juicing day....just low on energy.Oh.I try and burn no less then 650 at the gym ,but I did do the racketball ,so I burned something there.....not much but something. I also did the PRECOR brand elliptical like ,10 calories per minute calorie burning machine ,and I did 15 minutes there. So between the treadmill and elliptical I only burned 550 calories .Then I came home a fell asleep on the couch....This is NOT LIKE ME to fall asleep after exercise.That is when I got up and made my apple drink heated on low.I don't count calories ,but like to burn no less then 650 calories per gym as I already mentioned.

The day is not over and I will make a green drink for my midday meal.~My P.M.juice was pineapple,spinach,tad ginger,3 stalks celery, 1 golden delicious apple.......Finished my 32 oz water from the am that I made and drink all day little by little.

Juicing for the next 10 days.....Nov 1st-Nov.10th 2009

It was 1 year that I started eating Raw foods. I started on Oct 27th 2008.My goals are to deeply cleanse my body, mind, and spirit and transcend to a whole, new, more vibrant level of health. Specifically, washing away toxic emotions, normalizing my weight, and strengthening my liver and all the internal organs .

I started drinking green smoothies and making more salad's incorporated juicing when I went online to Craiglist and found me a Champion Juicer ,since I heard they were a great Raw Ice Cream maker and also did decent juicing.Cost was $125.00 for me ,but new they cost about $235.00 or more.I am happy with it . I also want a new juice maker that the pulp will come out drier. If you juice you know what I am talking about. Now ,I am going to do a 10 Day juicefeast with a handful of folks . I have done 2 juicing sessions before. One was for 10 days another was 13 days. Wish me luck .I will need it. . Today Nov 1st is day 1 and so far I made a juice with Coconut water,dandelion,spinach,parsley,beet, cucumber, and Kiwi.Not a super loving taste ,but its tolorable. I am sipping it as I type this out.

I ended my first day with 3 glolden delicious apples 1 small piece of ginger juiced in my Champion,and lightly warmed and topped with cinnimon, it was like hot apple cider,but not HOT! Yummy too..

4th day on my Juicefeast

I am so proud of myself.I have been juicing green vegi drinks and fruit juicing too.I am totally satisfied and feel great.I have newly incorporated 1.5 average hours at the gym 5 days a week.And I plan on sticking with the exercise.When I hurt my back with the trainer fellow in 2001,I stopped and really never went back at a regular ongoing time frame.Oh,and did say I gained all of that 40 lb weight loss and gained more this time around.
I realized since I started raw eating in Oct 2008 it wasn't until the 3rd week in January of this year 2009 until raw was the majority of my main meals.HIGH RAW is what I considered myself.
A local friend and myself plan on sticking with "Raw Eating" to our best ability.
Since this is my 4Th straight day juicing I am not putting a time on how many days I will stick to this.I am feeling good and as long as I feel good I will continue my juicing.Since I did 2 Master Cleanse episodes.one was 10 days and 1 was 12 days,I know I can do this at least that long.
