So I am still juicing, although nowhere NEAR fasting. But I am working towards giving it a real try again soon. I didn't set myself up for success last time. I had never fasted at all, and just jumped right it. I've learned that's a no no. So right now, I am moving to all juices for breakfast, raw plant foods for lunch, and then a reasonable vegetarian (not vegan yet) dinner.
so have I made any progress? Not really. I am down a small chunk of weight, but nothing to write home about. I am, however, continuing to learn more about the lifestyle I am trying to transition to, and becoming slowly more and more intune to what my body really needs. I am starting to think more about nutrition and health, and less about weight and good vs. bad. I think I am making progress, and I am happy I have started juicing. I do find juice makes me feel more alert, energetic, and just all around good. I also think it will help ward off illnesses and boost my immune system.
Mia is enjoying some juice. I do mostly fruit for her and sneak in a handful of leafy greens and maybe a cucumber without telling her. She sucks it down as long as it is sweet enough. She also enjoys the "ice-cream" I make by running frozen fruit through the juicer. So she can always have a treat, with no guilt here. And, I enjoy it too. .
So there. Hope to have more updates soon. A big part of my desire to juice was to enhance fertility. I start treatments in mid March if all goes well with my testing this month. I plan to really juice hard during that time. We'll see. . .
