After refraining from having green juice last night, I've come to the conclusion that it definitely aids in the purging process. I didn't quite get so far as making green juice tonight - I was side-tracked with researching my family tree.

Moving towards a Juice Feast
Wednesday, 30 July
4 cups water
1 chamomile tea/honey
blended bowl of: bananas, dates, honey, sunflower seeds, almonds, cashews, macadamias
2 cups orange/carrot/ginger/pineapple/apple juice
1 avocado, grape tomatoes, eschallots, alfalfa, carrot, sugar snap peas, lemon juice, salt
ice
Today I really enjoyed my juices, and am looking forward to starting my juice feast. I'm finding that I'm very thirsty, and prefer juice over food. Once I get past this weekend, I'll have to go through my Juice Feast book and decide on a new 'food' routine. I'll probably continue crunching on ice whilst I'm feasting to keep my jaws working. :-)

Sunny days
Tuesday, 29 July
4 cups water
1 chamomile tea/honey
blended bowl of: bananas, dates, honey, sunflower seeds, almonds, cashews, macadamias
butter lettuce leaves freshly picked
2 cups water
5 cups green juice
Today is a beautiful, sunny, warm day. :-) Absolutely glorious! I drove to Bribie Island and visited the health shop there. I found raw, organic cacao powder!!!! Yippee!!!! I've been using cocoa powder (100%, no additives), however it just isn't the same. I also bought some maca powder, psyllium, bee pollen, and bowel biotics with digestive enzymes. I was hoping to find goji powder, but they only had the berries. They did have a blueberry powder, but I think I spent enough for one day!
Gypsy Queen
PS: It seems that the liquid diarrhoea is a result of cleansing after having the green juice. I'm thinking that because I have it after having food (ie: fibre), it is more cleansing.

Wintry days
Monday, 28 July
2 cups water
ice
2 bananas, cashews, dates, sunflower seeds
2 cups water
6 cups green juice
It has been rather chilly here just recently, although not as cold as in Tasmania! The sun is out, the wind is blowing, and it is a glorious day. :-) It's a great day for a walk.
I think I'll have to look through my raw recipe book today and see what catches my eye. I've enjoyed the different tastes from adding carrot, etc. to my avocado.
I'm also looking forward to starting my Juice Feast. I had liquid diarrhoea again tonight, and am wondering if it's a result of having the green juice at the end of day. Possibly it's a cleansing thing. I hope so, anyway!

Well, my bowels sure didn't appreciate those slabs of bread with butter and vegemite!!! :-O I won't be doing that to myself again. I guess that I've discovered for myself what Matt Monarch has been saying at his blog: once you make a step forward with healthy choices, then your body is far more sensitive to unhealthy choices! My friend's daughter cooked sausages wrapped in puff pastry for dinner tonight, and the smell was tempting. I didn't give in, however, as my insides are still letting me know how unhappy they were with the bread!!!
I've been enjoying raw chocolate slice, and have varied the ingredients. Sometimes I have just banana, sometimes just avocado, and sometimes both for the topping. I've used cashews, macadamias, almonds and sunflower seeds in various combinations with dates for the bottom. I'll have to go through my recipe book and look for more dishes that catch my eye.

My friend's daughter made some bread today and it just smelt sooooooo good! I ended up having two slabs (they were too thick and large to be called slices) with real butter and vegemite. I did feel rather sluggish this afternoon and I'm not sure how my insides will feel tomorrow, however I enjoyed the indulgence and don't feel guilty at all.
Tomorrow is a new day and I'll be back on track. :-) The bread is the first non-raw food I've had for two weeks. Wow! :-O That is good. I'm looking forward to settling down into our new home and learning how to make bread and crackers with my dehydrator as well as starting my own permaculture garden.

I'm thinking that detox is really happening, as I've been feeling a bit sluggish, psoriasis has appeared on my eyelid even though I've not been having dairy, and I had liquid diarrhoea today (sorry if that's TMI). I've really been wanting greens, too, which are great for cleansing. I sure hope that detox keeps going well! I'm starting to think that I really should organise a colonic irrigation, but am not settled enough emotionally to do that just yet.
