Day 10 of Juice Fast

DAY 10!!!!

I cannot express how proud I am of myself for completing my 10 day juice fast.  I never imagined I would be able to do it.  The key was definitely taking it one day at a time and staying away from cooked foods or situations that involved cooked foods.  This has been an eye opening experience for me in so many ways.  I have learned so many new things about nutrition and overall care for my body that I had never known the previous 36 years of my life.  This was incredible.

Tomorrow I get to break my fast.  I will start out with either a fruit juice or a green juice in the morning.  Then for lunch I have already balled up two personal sized watermelons that are chilling in the fridge.  I can have as much of that watermelon as I damn well please!  I might also throw in a juice from Vitality if I have the time at lunch.  Dinner….oooooooo dinner… Dinner will be a huge, humongazoid, gigantor salad with all the fixings I want from seeds and sprouts to bell pepper, onion, carrots, cauliflower, cucumber, broccoli and anything else I manage to find at the store tomorrow.  Then I am going to drizzle it in various raw food dressings to see which ones I like the most.  I might even bathe the salad in the stuff if it is nonfat all raw ingredients.

As for today I tried to stick to some of my favorite juices to remember why I started on this journey in the first place.

Breakfast Juice: Beet, Celery, Cucumber, Beet Root Tops, Apple, Ginger

Lunch Juice: I made Dan the Man’s Green Life Juice and chugged it down: Spinach, Cilantro, Kale, Celery, Apple.

Fruit Juice: I made a recipe I found online called Perfectly Sweet: Carrots, Orange and Grapes.

Results of my juice fast:

I can do anything I put my mind to is my number one result.

I lost 10 pounds!  Woo Hoo!

My face is absolutely gorgeous – my skin is glowing, I haven’t worn anything but mascara and lip gloss all week, it is smooth and rosy and I wouldn’t give that up for a chocolate shake.

I have learned so much about my diet, my nutrition and my body.

I still have my itchy psoriasis. I am hoping that by continuing raw for another 15 days after the fast it will help diminish the psoriasis.

All in all I have really enjoyed this experience and can’t wait for my next journey of finding raw recipes all over the internet. My favorite so far is for chocolate coconut ice cream.  YUM!  I start my reboot diet on Monday of next week.
