100 Day Raw Liquids, Day 1

I fell asleep last night rather early... so I was up at 4:00 AM.


I wanted to wait until I was hungry to eat... um, drink, which didn't happen until around 1:00 PM. I had veggie juice and the juice of a whole pineapple! And it took a while to drink it all. Later I had an green avo smoothie, which was great. And now I am having a different avo smoothie, since I am having a very late night and need the energy. 

I took my liquid supplements at dinner and felt sort of drunk, which was strange. 

I hope that I can hit the farmer's market tomorrow to stock up on more fruits & veggies. Today I've already been through a ton! The champion juicer does not juice leafy greens well, so I may have to rig my old juicer to work to do it. I need my greens!

My avo smoothies are generally anything you could put in a salad, juiced, then blended with an avocado and maybe some seaweed. I like mine spicy so I juice peppers, garlic and onions first then go with whatever vegetables I have.

Today's had a combo of some: avocado, cucumbers, celery, carrots, habaneros, garlic, spring onions, tomatoes, dulse, raw soy sauce.

Some people think juicing is a pain because of all the cleanup, but I find that I am spending less time than I normally spend preparing food for myself! So, it is great!

I am feeling pretty full right now... and after dancing tonight, I know I am going to want some more juice!

The Last (solid) Supper

Today - April 30th, will be the last day I will eat any solid foods for 100 days. 


Why?

Over the last 6 years, I have had some crazy health issues... in the last year I have been sick more often than not and the only time I feel amazing is when I am on raw foods. 

So, the idea here is to give my body a chance to rest, boost my immune system and hopefully pump up my metabolism and attain a higher level of mental clarity.

What?

I will be drinking all my food; lots of fresh juices - veggies, fruits, some raw smoothies, teas and water. I'll also take some supplements and extracts to help the process along. The idea is to give my body nutrients in an easy form for it to digest so it has an easier time to repair and rejuvenate. I will not be depriving my body; I will take in plenty of calories because otherwise it is a fast - which is not what I am doing. A long fast only helps to shut down your body, making it horde. 

When?

From May 1st through August 8th



Some of my health heroes and my inspirations...

Smoothie Heaven

Yesterday was great! I ate some seaweed salad from R Thomas Scott picked up on Wednesday as a side to his sandwich. I tried to nibble on it late Wednesday night and couldn't and it took two sittings yesterday to eat one portion. I have been out a lot and tired, so I thought seaweed salad would be a good solid to eat. And it was nice.

The hemp and nutritional yeast smoothie was really amazing! A little hot pepper and some thyme a nice lady at work brought me from her garden made it oh! so good... and I know this will sound weird, but it was very cheesy and so savory! I want to make another one for lunch!

We were out late again last night and having that second fruit smoothie was a good pick me up and deterrent to want to go get a veggie burger after hitting a show then a club!

I have been thinking about mushrooms... they are so soft, I guess I could pop them in the blender and try a smoothie with them... I'll be scoping the aisles at the co-op later to see what else I could liquefy!
