Day 54/55 of 60 Juice Cleanse ~ I'm ready for the next phase..

12.24.2012

Ok so yesterday I juiced the following:

6 Carrots, 4 Celery Stalks, 1 Cucumber, Garlic and Dandelion leaves.. and it was really good.  I believe that the garlic made it “pop” sorta speak.  I wanted to make sure that I didn’t let my dandelion leaves sit for too many days because I didn’t want them to go bad.  Going forward, I’m going to use dandelion leaves more but not as much as I did because they are a very powerful diuretic and the more I think about it, that would explain why I was so dehydrated :( so please take my advice and don’t get dandelion happy.. A little goes a long way :) 

Here’s what I juiced:

 

Also, if you want to use MSM powder I would recommend not using it with dandelion do it separately.  For me it was just too much, but I do like MSM powder so I just use it alone.

12.25.2012

Yesterday was great.  Since I don’t celebrate Christmas I just did a lot of clutter busting!  I recently moved back to Cleveland from Dallas via Atlanta via Cleveland (lol a lot of via's right??)  so I still had stuff in boxes and that has to stop.  Everything needs a place and there is a place for everything.  So, I had about 5 boxes of stuff I needed to sort through and figure out what was in the boxes and do I really need it.  So most of the boxes had old “stuff” old bills, old cards, stuff that really didn’t serve a purpose for me now.  So, I just throw it away! Now, some of the cards I kept because they are nice and heartfelt, but everything else had to go!....Umm but then again I might go back and let those go as well.  When I looked at some of the dates and was like, “ Now why in the hell do I still have this bill.. from 2005..!” Now I have moved 3 times within that time frame, travelled the world for 6 years and in my box of stuff I had bills from 2005.. Shame on me!

The good thing about this clutter busting episode is that I had a chance to organize that area, put everything in its place and got my 5 boxes down to 3 main boxes which is wonderful for me..

Yay me!.... On to juicing..

Today this is what I juiced:

6 Carrots, 4 Celery, ½ Cucumber, ½ Pineapple and Garlic cloves (of course!).. and here it is:

 

I'm really loving pineapples even more!

Until later.. Enjoy :)

 

Still day 53 of 60 but I decided to make Pineapple Juice :)

Ok, so I'm sitting here listening to Korn, Bilal, Rihanna, Outkast, Kendrick Lamar, some other music on the list and just realized that I bought 2 pineapples today at the store.. Sooo guess what?? I want pineapple juice! Fresh pineapple juice that I made.. So, I decided to juice a pineapple..

Here's the before: "Hello pineapple your gonna be soo good ina few minutes..."

 Here's the after:

" Can't wait to drank this.."!

And here's what's in the juicer:

"Umm ummm.. speechless.."

OMG, this juice is soo good! and I'm going to eat the left over pineapple :) yummy yummy.. Just think, this Pineapple was only $2.50 and made 1 quart of fresh, homemade pineapple juice...You can't beat that..

Enjoy!

**** side note.. this would be soo good with Rum*** lol but I'm cleansing so no Rum for me .. :(

One more thing, you might have to add some water to the pineapple juice because it's pretty potent.. Ok, I'm done with the side notes :)

Day 53 of 60 Day Juice Cleanse

As this phase of my Juice Cleanse comes to an end, the next phase of my Vegan/Raw Journey begins.  This juice has been the most spiritual, emotional, renewing, rewarding, cleansing, challenging, obstacle unblocking, self-awakening and balancing journey that was needed, embraced and powerful.  Since I have been up since about 2am, which I still can’t understand why I keep getting up at 2am for the past 2 weeks, but I just get it, I don’t try to over-stand it too much, say a prayer, meditate, read, write, study, drink some water and just be.

Today marks Day 53 of my juice cleanse and it has definitely been pretty amazing.  I feel like I have not only drop physical weight, but also emotional baggage, disappointments and the like.  I have figured out what was causing my acid reflex and my digestive issues so now I can take the steps needed to continue with the healing process.

This cleanse has been the most powerful of all cleanses that I have done and I have done many. 

So, today I'm probably just going to drink 2 quarts of Green tea.  I went down to the Asian plaza and got a big box of Organic Green Tea for 6 bucks!!! and I got 100 tea bags.. I am sooo happy about this..

Here's the one I bought:

Come and join me....

Until later :)

 

Day 48 of 60 ~ New Green Tea to try :) - Update

Ok I will be trying a new green tea called, “Imperial Grade Matcha Ceremonial Green Tea” by Teavana, the website is: www.teavana.com.  One of my co-workers know how much I love green tea and asked if I wanted to try this kind and I  was like ugggh of course I do! :)  I’m going to wait a few hours because I just drank a 2 quarts of tea and it was pretty potent!

Here is what the tea looks like:

 

 



As you can see this tea is pretty much on point and it cuts out the middle man (teabag) and goes straight to the leaves! Now, don't get me wrong the price tag is a little up there.  According to the site it costs $35 big bucks! but hey, if you can spend $5-$9 bucks a day on Starbucks, Dunknin' Donuts, Misc things or just plain nothing.. You can look at this tea as an investment in good health!  So, I'm in!

Also, I will give a review on this tea sometime later today..


Ok, so I finally opened the container and it remains me of Spirulina ( the look and smell ) so it's not leaves like I previously stated, it's powder form.  So this is what it looks like:

Before:

After mixing with warm water:

Until Later :) ~ Enjoy!

Day 47 of 60 Day Juice Cleanse... Can we say Green Tea!

Ok so now I'm just counting down the days til the end of my cleanse.  Yesterday was a pretty good day because I drank about 6 quarts of green tea!  I didn't even realize how much I had drank.. No wonder I was up all day long and only got about 4 hours of sleep before work lol..

So, yesterday's just was:

 

1 Green Apple

½ Cucumber
5 Celery Stalks
5 Carrots
Garlic Cloves
Dandelion Leaves
Spinach

It was pretty much what I had yesterday I just replaced the pear with a green apple ( my favorite!)

Enjoy!!

Day 46 of 60 Day Juice Cleanse ~ I see the finish line in sight!

Ok so I am pretty much adapted to this cleanse and I'm pretty happy about that.... but.. I'm ready for this to be over with!  (ok, I had to get that out.. let's continue..) This cleanse was very much needed so that's why I have continued to keep at it for so long.

Today is pretty much wonderful, no complaint at all... Just a tad bit sleeply but what cha gonna do?? Well, this is what I juiced today:

Dandelion leaves
Spinach
Garlic Cloves
5 Carrots
4 Celery Stalks
1 Pear

This is surprisingly very good and spicy even without the ginger, so I like that!  I decided that for the remaining 16 days of the cleanse I will start using dandelion leaves.  I did alot of research on them and I saw all the benefits of Dandelion leaves, here's a few listed below:

Some of the many benefits of Dandelion leaves:

1. High in Calcium
2. Rich in Iron
3. High in Antioxidants
4. The Ultimate Detox!
5. Tons of Minerals
6. 14% Protein
7. Good for Inflammation and so much more!


This is before:

And this is after:

Until later! Enjoy!!

Day 42 of 60 Juice Cleanse and.. it's 12-12-12!!!

YES!

I am so happy that today not only marks my 42nd day of my juice cleanse it also marks a very special type of energy, and that is the energy of: 12-12-12.  First let’s talk about my cleanse.  Yesterday was so wonderful and I really don’t know why.  I just had this type of energy came over me that was truly a wonderful experience to have.  I look back at my first few days of my cleanse and it was truly something and I am feeling the balance that I needed has come full circle.

To me, 12-12-12 wasn't just "numbers" on a calendar when you break those done into single digits you get, "3-3-3" and according to Dr. Doreen Virtue when you see these numbers it's like a comfirmation of the following:

"333 - The Ascended Masters are near you, desiring you to know that you have their help, love, and companionship. Call upon the Ascended Masters often, especially when you see the number 3 patterns around you. Some of the more famous Ascended Masters include: Jesus, Moses, Mary, Quan Yin, and Yogananda." - Doreen Virtue: http://spiritlibrary.com/doreen-virtue/number-sequences-from-the-angels

Take it a step further and break the number down into a single digit of "9" and you get the meaning:
" 9 is wisdom and responsibility, and the ultimate goal of the number 9 is to serve humanity".  Also,  serves as a healer and educator. - http://numerology-thenumbersandtheirmeanings.blogspot.com/2011/05/number-9.html

*** side note*** Dr. Doreen Virtue really has some wonderful books so I recommended them.  I have Earth Angels and Angel numbers 101.  I've been reading these books since 2008 and I pay more attention to the secret messages behind triple numbers.

You know what's funny, I was looking in one of my very old numerology books titled: "Basic Numerology" - by Lia Robin and the number 9 is a symbol of Mars and refers to those born on the 9, 18 or the 27 of the Month.  It also represents Intuition and is associated with Creativity.  Ummm I was born on the 18th of Feb.. :)

Now see how wonderful and powerful 12-12-12 is going forward?? :)

Now that's some powerful energy.  


Until Later Enjoy! :) and happy Cleansing!

Day 40of 60 Juice Cleanse!!! Yippie

Ok, so I'm finally up to date!  Today is day 40 of my juice cleanse.  Today I juiced the following:

Spinach
4 Carrots
4 Celery Stalks
Garlic and Ginger
1 Green Apples

This juice was sooo good! I feel that this cleanse has been really beneficial and very emotional at the same time. :)  Alot of old "junk" surfaced and needed to be dealt with, healed and let go of once and for all.  I feel like myself again and I am becoming a lighter body in the process.  My creative blocks are being removed, bit by bit..My thoughts are clearer and my acid reflux is so under control.. I amaze me!

Well, until later :)

Day 38 of 60 Juice Cleanse..Lighter Body and Balanced Mind

Day’s 38 of 60 =  Lighter Body and Balanced Mind :)

I see the light!  I feel like I am becoming a light body.  First off,  I want to apologize for not updating my blog for a little over 5 days.  The days from 34-38 have been a bigger roller coaster then before, but this time it was really good when I reflect backwards.  Plus, I needed time to really focus on myself, my spirit and my purpose.  So, that’s what’s been going on with me.  Yesterday, was a pretty great day!  I juiced the following:

Spinach
6 Carrots
1 Pink Grapefruit
Garlic
Ginger

I really liked this juice.  I didn’t have any apples so this works because with apples and carrots together, too sweet for my taste.  Oh yeah, one more thing, I did crave Oatmeal Creme Pies and I bought them and ate the whole box! Ummm lol

Now let me reflect on this and why this cleanse is so important to me.  I haven’t craved nor eaten an Oatmeal Creme Pies (Little Debbie’s) since childhood (a long long time ago lol) so this cleanse dug deep into my childhood past to release those toxins left behind. So, we know what happen after eating that, sick stomach and sleepyness, so that junk needed to get out of me quick!!

Even my years as a Vegetarian it never dug that deep (or maybe it did and I was too busy to pay attention) so I know something important is going on.  This cleanse has really allowed me to look inward for the answers to everything  I need.  

Until Later :-)  I will do a YouTube video tomorrow

Have a great day!

Day's 33 and 34 of 60 Bored already! ..... :(

--> --> Day's 33 and 34

Sorry for no updates! It's been a little rough for me on this cleanse so I just decided not to post anything. :( But, I have decided to keep going.  My craving wore so out of control that I just decided to eat what I was craving and that was pizza.  So, I went to a store called "Weber's" and bought one of those Amy's pizza with no sauce, just spinach and mozzarella cheese.  That really was a big mistake but I'm glad I did it.  I didn't get really sick, just bloated and sleepy.  I have gluten sensitivity so I have to be a little careful and I think that since I have been cleansing for so long that my body is truly healing and repairing itself.  So, that makes me want to keep up with my juice cleanse.  This happened on day 33/34 and since then I have been back on track!

One thing I have noticed is why I eat.  It's not because I'm hungry because most of the time I'm not.  I eat when I'm stressed and bored. Normally, when I am stressed and bored I'd run or workout like a maniac! run about 6 miles or get on the elliptical machine for an hour and then go lift afterwards.. but not this time!  I decided to be more gentle with myself and I decided to take things slow on this cleanse.  

I've very proud of myself and look forward to day 60!!

Until Later :)

Day 31 of 60 Juice Cleanse Recap and Countdown

Day 31...Dec 1, 2012

Today was a pretty good day.  I went to the market to get some more fruits and vegetables for the week and I also when to the local health food store to pick up some cucumber soap. :)  Today, for some reason I was a little tired and I thought about just ending my juice cleanse and be happy with how far I have gotten, bit I really want to keep going forward.  I feel like I still have more work to do with my mind-body-spirit reconnection, so I decided to keep moving along.  Like the longer I cleanse I go through different things so I know now that it’s time to start sweating (working out).  I thought about the gym but since I have enough workout videos and since it’s been pretty nice outside I’ve decided to just go outside. 

 Today’s juice was:

1 Red Bell Pepper

1 Cucumber
5 Carrots
4 Celery Stalks
1 Green Apple
3 Garlic Cloves
Spinach (I don’t really measure it, I just do what feels right)
Ginger

So this was ok, a little too sweet but overall good.  Craving are terrible and I just don’t understand why I’m still having them.  It’s pretty odd to me and it’s not like I’m hungry because I’m not I just want to eat… just because...

Until Later

DAY 30 of 60 Juice Cleanse !!! The half way mark

Day 30 of 60.... Nov 30, 2012

Words can't express the joy that I am feeling right now at 3am in the morning.  This has been by far the best experience ever!  Now, like I have said many times, fasting/cleansing is nothing new to me.  I have done so many cleansing for various reasons but, I feel that this one has been the most rewarding on all levels.

Until Later...
