2 cups water
1 regular Irish Nut Creme latte - decaf
1 thick slice fruit toast, butter
4 cups watermelon juice
6 Snickers biscuits (oops!)
4 cups juice: celery, green apple, ginger
very small serving: chicken breast, stuffing, potato
Well, for the last day of winter it is absolutely beautiful! It is an absolutely glorious day and I'm looking forward to spring. It will be wonderful once I can take the children swimming again.
I ate later than I was going to, however am starting a 24 hour fast with the help of the Raw Divas. So water only until tomorrow night! I think I'll break my fast with a strawberry smoothie (the greens are already juiced, so I just need to add the berries). Mmmm..... I'll see what happens.

3 cups juice: apple, celery, ginger
2 cups Dare Espresso
1 large chocolate chip biscuit
2 cups watermelon juice
1 small plate hot chips
The spinach/celery juice was very rich, and I drank it down like medicine. lol I really enjoyed the celery/apple/ginger juice as it was so light. I mashed bananas with honey & raw cacao powder, however then didn't feel like eating it. I'm thinking that I might puree some apples with my juicer to have this afternoon. mmmm...... We'll see.... lol

Water...
Friday, 29 Aug
2 cups water
1 chamomile tea/honey
1 breadroll, butter, banana
3 cups green smoothie: 3 small bananas, 1 stalk celery, large handful baby spinach, 1/2 cup water
1 breadroll, butter, vegemite
1 breadroll, butter
The green smoothie was rather thick - I could have made up 1.5 litres. The smoothies are a nice change, but I think I prefer juice overall: more hydrating. I seem to always be thirsty: a result of being dehydrated for most of my life? After reading up about water, I'm really wanting to buy a water ionizer! It would be fantastic to have healthy water on tap. The Raw Divas have some great ones.

Small improvements
Monday, 25 Aug
4 cups green smoothie: 1/2 bunch celery, LOTS of parsley, 150gm alfalfa & radish sprouts, 6 small bananas, raw honey, vanilla (greens juiced first)
4 cups watermelon juice
1 breadroll, butter, potato chips
1 large chocolate chip biscuit
The green smoothie was surprisingly nice! I only drink 3 cups before feeling full, though. It was rather bitter due to all the parsley, so next time I make it I'll put a different green in. Perhaps bok choy as it is nice & sweet. The honey I bought is advertised as raw and is from Byron Bay. It is quite sweet.

Green juice
Saturday, 23 Aug
2 cups water
4 cups juice: 1/2 bunch celery, 1/2 bunch red silverbeet, 3 large green apples, 1 lemon, 1 orange, 1 huge chunk ginger (I made 6 cups, but couldn't drink it all - I think the citric acid was too much for my stomach)
2 cups Dare Espresso (I've had a few of these lately, but forgot to put them down!)
1 breadroll, butter, banana
This flu/bug/thing is just going on and on and on..... I can't wait for it to pass. Today I felt nauseous, however am thankful that I didn't bring anything up. The phlegm on my chest and mucus in my sinuses is truly revolting. I didn't drink my juice at once, but slowly as my stomach wasn't feeling very stable today.
It was very interesting to read people's answers to Victoria's questionnaire in her "Green for Life" book. Here are my answers, from when I first started having green juice each day:
1 - Was it hard to drink one quart (1 litre/4 cups) of green smoothie each day?
No!
2 - Did the rest of your diet change as a result of the green smoothies?
Yes - I eat less and don't crave as many unhealthy foods
3 - Did you notice any changes in your health?
Yes - my skin stopped being so sensitive (symptom of fibromyalgia)
4 - Did your cravings for unhealthy foods lessen?
Yes
5 - Have you noticed any change in your weight?
I initially lost 5kg (approx 11lb), however haven't weighed myself for some time
6 - Did your sleep change?
Yes - I'm sleeping better
7 - Did your elimination change?
HUGE yes! My bowel movements are more frequent, and constipation has gone
8 - Did your energy change?
Yes - I have more energy
9 - Did anybody comment on how you looked?
No, however I've noticed that my skin looks clearer and feels softer
10 - Did you have any symptoms of detox?
Yes - diarrhoea. I've had a severe virus 'thing' for the past three weeks, and some symptoms from this match up with detox symptoms
11 - Did you have any negative experiences?
No
12 - Would you like to continue drinking green smoothies?
DEFINITELY! I am so thankful to have come across Victoria's book. :-)

I had four cups of water this morning as when I finished my shower I was feeling very dizzy and faint. This virus really is horrible, and I hope & pray that I recover soon.
I read "Green for Life" and it is FANTASTIC!!!! I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to improve their health.

Juicing fun
Thursday, 21 Aug

2 cups juice - lettuce, celery, silverbeet, cucumber, apple, ginger
banana sorbet
6 cups watermelon juice
1 breadroll, butter, egg, tomato sauce, salt

I won't be using butterhead lettuce in my juice again as it is very bitter. I didn't enjoy my green juice today. :-(
On the other hand, I had fun making kiwi fruit sorbet and banana sorbet with my new juicer. :-) I especially enjoyed the banana sorbet. I only had a spoonful of the kiwi fruit sorbet and found it a little bitter. I also made some apple puree for my friend a few days ago and she quite liked it. I've discovered that if I'm wanting apple with my green juice, then it's best to add it with celery. If I want apple puree, then I use the fruit screen.

It's official - we're all coming down with this virus/flu/thing again! :-( OK... so that's not the victory. lol The small victory is that I bought some watermelon when I went to the shops and juiced it to drink instead of buying a coffee!

It is so exciting to start on my juice journey. I'm looking forward to trying out different recipes. I won't be getting the recommended 4-5 litres of juice today, however I plan on building up to it.
I was doing well until this afternoon when something happened and I felt 'down' as a result. I went for pastry as comfort food. At least I had 2 litres of green juice, so tomorrow I'll start fresh again: one step at a time! I think I might see what's in the fridge now....

3 corn tortillas, refried beans, salsa, mozzarella cheese, carrot, tomato, lettuce
2 cups lemonade
corn chips, salsa, cheese
This comes under TMI!! - My bowels have been rather 'quiet' with the cooked food I've had recently, but this morning I passed a very pale yellow movement. Whether this is cause for concern or not I really don't know. I'm planning on slowly changing back to raw again, so we'll see how things pan out. I bought some corn tortillas and refried beans to have with salad for lunch/dinner today. I'm looking forward to it.
I now realise what triggered my 'binge' on cooked foods: PMS! Ugh! So I will have to keep a closer eye on my cycle and avoid food courts, etc., around that time each month. Being sick hasn't helped, either, as my body is craving 'comfort' food.
Reading Matt's and Angela's blogs is an encouragement. I'm wanting to go to Iceland to live after reading how wonderful it is there! lol Well, that isn't going to happen so instead I can look forward to having our own home and being able to grow our own organic fruit & veg, taking out my dehydrator and experimenting with different foods, and generally settling down somewhere! Perhaps this time we can stay in the one home for more than one year.

3 corn tortillas, refried beans, salsa, mozzarella cheese, carrot, tomato, lettuce
2 cups lemonade
corn chips, salsa, cheese
This comes under TMI!! - My bowels have been rather 'quiet' with the cooked food I've had recently, but this morning I passed a very pale yellow movement. Whether this is cause for concern or not I really don't know. I'm planning on slowly changing back to raw again, so we'll see how things pan out. I bought some corn tortillas and refried beans to have with salad for lunch/dinner today. I'm looking forward to it.
I now realise what triggered my 'binge' on cooked foods: PMS! Ugh! So I will have to keep a closer eye on my cycle and avoid food courts, etc., around that time each month. Being sick hasn't helped, either, as my body is craving 'comfort' food.
Reading Matt's and Angela's blogs is an encouragement. I'm wanting to go to Iceland to live after reading how wonderful it is there! lol Well, that isn't going to happen so instead I can look forward to having our own home and being able to grow our own organic fruit & veg, taking out my dehydrator and experimenting with different foods, and generally settling down somewhere! Perhaps this time we can stay in the one home for more than one year.

Still sick...
Monday, 04 Aug
2 cups water
5 cups green juice
5 tortillas
ice
lemonade
3 choc-rollettes
pureed potato & pumpkin
Uggh! We're still all sick, and it isn't pleasant at all. I started taking senega & ammonia today, so hopefully that will get rid of the 'ick' from my chest and nasal passages.

Note to self:
DO NOT EAT MEAT!!!!!!
Last night I suffered like you would not believe for my binge. :-( Lesson has been learnt! I've not been feeling very well today, but am slowly recovering from this cold.
Sunday, 03 Aug
2 cups water
black muscat grapes, 1 banana
2 cups water
cashews, macadamias
5 tortillas
puff pastry & veg
Not knowing what is happening, and not knowing where we'll be living is very unsettling; and I'm finding it hard to stay in routine. Prayerfully I can start physiotherapy again this week, which will help a lot to get me back on track.

I'm sick!!!!!!!
Saturday, 02 August
2 cups water
1 bread roll, 1 burnt sausage, burnt onions, tomato sauce
1 mini spinach/ricotta pastry
1 Thai chicken filo
1 sm decaf Irish Nut Creme latte
2 cups orange juice (shop bought)
Sour cream & chive Pringles
ice
Milk ice block
OK - everybody is sick!!! My head feels as though it's about to fall off. I smelt a sausage sizzle cooking, and gave in. Then I figured that I felt sick, didn't care, and may as well have some more cooked/processed food at the one time.
Well, I guess my body is getting rid of toxins, and that's why I'm wanting the meat, etc. I'll have to be stronger next time and resist the temptation to give in. I'm hoping that hubby takes up the challenge to become a gourmet raw food chef so that he can create some delicious meals for me. :-)
I did buy some dandelion herb tea today. There was also dandelion root, but that didn't seem as appealing. I've also bought a B12 supplement, though after the meat today I won't start taking them until next weekend.
I do hope that this cold/flu goes away soon..... My head feels as though it's about to fall off. Tomorrow is a new day, and I'll be starting over again.

Juice day
Friday, 01 August
2 cups water
7 cups green juice
3 cups water
35gm raw, organic chocolate
2 cups water
65gm raw, organic chocolate
I REALLY enjoyed my green juice this morning! After not having it for two days, it just tastes soooooo nice. :-)
My friend was cooking red lentil & veggie patties for breakfast, and they smelt VERY good. I was tempted to "just have one", but then thought of how that heavy, dead food would feel for my insides, and decided that I would resist.
My body feels as though it's ready for a Juice Feast. I need to buy a new juicer first, however. I've had my Breville Juice Fountain for about 4yrs now and it doesn't separate all of the pulp. I'm thinking it's the screen bit that needs replacing. So I'll talk to hubby about buying a Champion juicer: it costs a bit more, however will be more efficient at juicing so we'll save on the cost of fruit & veg.
I was out this afternoon, and was really wanting something to eat. When I found the raw chocolate I decided that would be just right!
