Hello Friends:
Day 3 has ended for me, it started off with a LARGE, painful headache. I have been very nervous since I started the juice fast about going to the Dallas Mavericks football game...I made it-I had a bottle of water and I sipped it when I felt the need and I did not break. I am so excited, I felt a little week when my husband sat down with the french fries on his tray...OMG I am so weak for french fries. (I made it)
As of now, I came home and had a cup of tea. I am drinking water and reading posts from my fellow juicers. I am so excited that I made it through day 3 and now entering day 4. My game plan is to implement a workout in my schedule tomorrow, then find times and days that I will also implement workouts during the week.
Day 3, JUICING-stamped-SUCCESSFUL~
Night Night,
PJ

Day 2
Hello:
I am wrapping up this day at 10:43p on a Friday night. I have made my juice for tomorrow and had a large portion of water today. The purpose for making juice for tomorrow is to keep myself motivated and moving forward during this journey. I have a lot to do and I want to ensure that I don't forget to have my juice prepared.
My Symptoms: My body is hurting badly, my throat is draining, my head is throbbing and my belly is actually bubbling. It is not a usual thing for my stomach to have that bubble feeling so early. I did think about the food that my family was having tonight-on Friday's we eat out for family night. I weathered the storm and continued to read Dr. Furhman's book, great information.
Overall, today has been well, I stayed busy while working so I didn't have too many temptations. My job ordered lunch from a health food place, so I was looking at those salads and practically drooling down my shirt. I am so glad that I made it-I am still taking things one day at a time and trying to stay positive.
So far my combinations consist of: Kale, Celery, Cucumbers, Carrots, Romaine, Spinach, Apples, Oranges. I am loving that I have chosen this combination for night. It is deinftaley working for me~
I am wishing everyone a great night-

Ending Day 1
DAY ONE IS OVER~
As I conclude this night, my body is feeling is achy, my head is hurting and the light is killing my eyes. I am not sure that my body should be aching so early during my fast...but it is.
Tonight my family ate some Chicken Express and I did very well during that time. I didn't feel tempted and I simply sipped on my juice and thought happy thoughts. One important goal of mine is to take things one day at a time. As I conclude tonight I want to say today was a good day, I felt very encouraged and focused on a new begining for my life.
I want so bad to take control over my life-I would like to have a weekly workout regimine and to totally shy away from bad foods. (Candy, Sodas, Ice Cream & Cookies) Yum....noooooo
Currently, I am reading Dr. Furhmans book, Eat to Live..I am excited about the knowledge that he is providing to everyone that wants to eat and live in a healthy manner.
Below is a copy of my measurements-As I conclude tonight I would like to wish everyone a peaceful night!
Measurements:
Weight- 204.6
Chest-37
Waist-38 1/2
Hips-46
Wrist-6 1/2

Heart & Soul Magazine
Friends:
I thought that I would share this Tid-Bit from the Heart & Soul magazine
The bottom line is NO MATTER WHAT-we must keep pushing towards the finish line. Even if we need to start over several times, the key is to NEVER give up!!
LET'S GO~

Fall-Day 1
Day One:
As of now, 2:35p on Thursday in Ft. Worth, TX- I am starting to become somewhat hungry. I have to 22 oz of Cucumbers, Kale, Carrots, (2) Green Apples & Red Apples. It is very good, outside of the earthly taste that I get from the kale. My neck is hurting a bit, but I am sure that it's not the juicing effect at this time. Also, my stomach is feeling sort of spoiled or empty. I am starting to think that is a mental thing because I am sure that I am not starving, it's way too soon for that.
My game plan this time around is to take things one day at a time and to try to have my meals prepared prior to the next day. I think that takes away from time and the thought of eating/engaging in meals. Additionally, I think it is important to surround myself with other friends that are juicing during this time as well. I think that we can support each other in a manner that no one else can. I am looking forward to having a great juice this evening to top things off.
Here is a photo of my breakfast, lunch and a partial snack before getting my dinner juice.
I am wishing everyone a fantastic day, I am sure that you will be hearing from me more regularly now that I am juicing. I absolutely LOVE my Cyber friends.

Round Three
Hello Friends:
So, I am sure that all of you are tired of me starting and stopping my eating process. Guess what, I am also and I definitely know that my husband is completely tired of it. Well today is November 1st and I have committed to juice fasting. I have not committed to an end date because I am looking for that clarity and I know the skies the limits once I get there. Anyway, I have joined my group on Facebook and we check in all day about our feelings and more. I am grateful for this group, it's nice to be affiliated with individuals that feel exactly where you are during each stage.
I am happy to be on the right track as of right now, I will be looking for your support as I take on this journey once again.
I will do my measurements this evening and post them so that we can see where I am and where I end up. It's time to make a change for sure.
Enjoy your day my juicy friends!!

The Addition of Proper Nutrition to Complement Your Cancer Treatment
Many cancer patients are not even aware that healthy
eating can benefit them in more ways than one. A nutritious diet is a
good option for just about anyone. Whether you are a cancer patient,
currently in remission, or are simply looking to live healthier overall, a
healthy diet can help aid you in your journey. The benefits of eating
nutritious meals and foods are practically endless. After speaking with
your doctor, you may find that these foods are a fantastic option for you and
your current state of health.
Healthy foods have many benefits when they are consumed on a daily basis. The vitamins and nutrients found in healthier and raw foods, such as veggies and fruits, can help to give the body more energy. Being a cancer patient, you probably know how nice it would be to have a little bit more energy throughout the day. You can easily achieve this by just changing your diet. It is important to remember that eating one apple is not going to change the way you feel. Your new healthier diet needs to be something that you stick to for years to come in order to benefit most from it.
Eating more nutritious meals can also benefit you by improving your mood and sense of well-being. Vitamins are often necessary for all functions in the body. This also relates to how a person feels and whether or not they are depressed. Vitamin deficiencies can cause mood swings and depression in individuals who have them. The best way to get your daily vitamins is to eat healthier foods that contain them. You can easily do this by eating more fruits and fresh vegetables each day. Try to revolve each meal and snack around healthier options that are available to you.
Your new diet needs to be discussed with your doctor before you make any major changes. There is a good chance that your doctor already has you on a relatively strict diet that you need to follow. The best thing for you to do would be to speak with your healthcare professional and tell them that you really want to begin eating healthier. From there, the two of you will be able to set a meal and snack plan that revolves around your new lifestyle. Most doctors encourage healthy eating and will be happy to help you with this.
It is amazing to see just how much of an impact your food can make in your life. You go from eating processed junk food and having no energy to eating fresh and organic produce that basically brings you back to life. If you are seeking alternative treatments for mesothelioma or are undergoing radiation therapy, the food you eat can and will make a difference in your life. Be sure to speak with a healthcare professional before making any major changes to your diet. From there, you will be able to begin living a healthier and more energetic life each day.
