October Fasting

[Juniper44]

I was waiting so see if someone would start and October faster thread.... I'm so exited about my day one which was yesterday, that I just wanted to share.
I started on just drinking water throughout the day, at lease 160 oz and by 8:00pm I'd squeezed one lemon in water (no mayple syrup) and drank it. That alone made me strong enough to make it through the night.
I really want my body to heal and rest and "trying" to eat raw was slowing down the process. I say trying because I was slipping too much. I belive my chances of slipping while juicing are slim. Plus, I'm a little too busy this weekend to do what I did yeaterday so juicing and drinking smoothies would be better.
Anyone want to join me ?

In this fasting, how are you doing it? I am new to eating raw and fasting? I am waiting to get my vita-mix blender and I was going to do just green smoothies and water for a week, and see how it goes and then contiue from there. Can I join you when I get my blender, which i am hoping to get today or monday? I would love to join you if this is okay to do it this way. :)

Yes Aleesha I was talking to you. I am not sure how to do a fast, I was planning on just doing green smoothies and drinking/eating them, is that alright? Or is there another way to do them? Thank you so much. As of today. Here is what I have done.

Morning: 1/2cp fresh squeezed orange juice
2 bananas, 1 cup of frozen blueberries, 1 cup of strawberries,
2 cups of spinach

Lunch: 1cp water, 1 mango, 1 apple, 2 bananas, 1/2 lemon, 2tbsp. chia seeds.

both of these I mixed in the blender. And lots of water!!
