Well. It has been an interesting journey so far. I have had some amazing and profound realizations, and quite a few 'well, duh...' moments. I have been eating a little bit and still doing a bit of juice, not much though. I am in a different phase now. I got what I needed from this feast/fasting experience, which was not as much about physical as it was about mental for me. Yes, I need to do some physical work, but I know that just eating high/100% raw will 'heal' those things. It was really more the mental for me. I got it. I know I need to focus on being grounded, in my body and mindful. I know that this 'disordered eating' is a bad habit, like eating sugar or drinking coffee- both of which I no longer do and am fine with. It is a poor coping mechanism, and I have much healthier ones. I choose health. I choose my family. I choose my future. SO, as I feel so inclined, I will add more raw/less juice back into my diet over this week and embark on the May 30 day challenge. It should be easier, plus hubby is going mostly raw as of today (well, I don't think he will be totally 'there' for another week, as he has some 'contraband' squirreled away, lol. I am happy with whatever part of this he is willing to do though. This is really a good thing. I am happy with this ending, which is really a new begining.

    Hey Godess, that sounds like a good plan!:) The work out thingy... Personal I made the experience, that NO WORK OUT lets the body heal faster!! All blood and energy can go to the inner organs and clean up there. And a cleaner body can easier release weight(t.ex.water)...

    Just a thought... I wouldnt force it too much with the workout if it doesnt feel right;) Allow yourself to be lazy and if energy comes back you will WANT to work all day long ;) (Dont want to offend you... that was just an idea I got when I read your post:) Love, Punk

    sounds like you made some real ..'head'way hahaaaa;) ! You're doing so well - you should be at such peace with your journey now! And congrats on the hubby thing - mine too -- almost mostly raw -- but occassionaly he has to have something dead! Fudge Balls have replaced his nasty 'plastic processed candy habit' though - and that's a GOOD thing! Blessings!!
