Reboot green juice fast smoothie fast

Today I started a juice fast/feast. It was difficult although my diet is mostly vegetarian. I have about 40 lbs to lose and have food allergies so eliminating everything processed is key to getting back my energy and health, besides just getting back to the size I was last year.

So we bought a juicer, it makes an awful mess. So far i have discovered that i hate celery juice no matter what its mixed with. My boyfriend and I are trying for 30 days on the "fast". Hopefully each day will get easier, we gradualy worked our way into it drinking lots of green drinks and fresh fruits and vegetables. Today was difficult and I found myself more tired than normal and a little grouchy, I know it will get easier as time goes on. I do need to remember to drinkk enough water.

It was an especially stressful day, i recieved a $50,000 hospital bill from a fall i had in August. The fact that I am unemployed makes it a far off possibility that it will get paid, even if I had a job it would be impossible to pay given what i make a year wasn't quite 50-grand a year. I am trying to stay centered and take it in stride. I spent years getting a near perfect credit score and it is soon to be ruined.

As for my yoga, lately I have had no energy what-so-ever and this is one reason i need to be proactive about my health. I hope by my boyfriend and I getting on a nutrional kick and exercise my 20-hour a week yoga practice will be back in no time.


Today i had:

1/2 cantaloupe juiced
3 carrots juiced
1/2 cup spinach blended

1 pear juiced
1/2 cup spinach blended
1/2 cup mango blended

1/2 cup pineapple blended
1/4 lemon juiced

1/4 cup blueberries
2 teaspoon coco powder
1 cup coconut milk unsweetened

3 cups herbal tea

2 cup water with nutritional yeast

raw food and juicing for weight loss

So the last couple years have been rougher than normal and the last year especially, losing 2 family members within 2 weeks, a job lay-off, moving twice to different cities, roomates, a new relationship, severing relationship with my mother, a few accidents, a hospital stay, allergies, narcolepsy, nerve damage and chronic pain has led to the acculmination of nearly 40 lbs since last october. This week i am starting on a raw juice diet for health and weight loss. I have a severe gluten allergy and i ate bread last week so this week i am dealing with acne, tiredness and general discomfort. I am tired of being sick and tired.

I am a registered yoga instructor who is too embarrassed to even go into a yoga classroom right now. Between my weigh and the left side of my body beinng weak due to an electrical shock accident and last month i fell down a flight of stairs cracking my skull and giving myself a brain hemorage so my strength and balance aren't too good right now. I should be happy, I live in a beach community in San Diego. My boyfriend is loving and affectionate mostly. However, I am getting to sleep at about 5 or 6 am, not eating right and not exercising.

When I lived here before i did 20 hours of yoga a week. I've never been thin but I kept my weight at 162lb for a few years, it might seem like a lot but I was pretty content with it. I am 5'8 and have always been broad shouldered and big, so at 162 I am a size 6 and that is fine with me. Presently none of my clothes fit me. I love clothes. I don't know if its because i am sad or if its just the narcolepsy but I have to try something different.

So I am preparing for a juice fast. I want to lose 40 lbs through diet and exercise and stop the allergies. I have fasted before, but not for any extended period of time. However, i never bought a juicer and took it to that level.

So we will see just what happens over the next few weeks... I have my days free and should be working on a new career and business. So this is the first step...
