Post Thanksgiving

Hello Friends:

So, it didn't take me very long to learn that my belly did not agree with the beautiful dinner that my husband cooked. He made greens, Mac and Cheese, yams, dressing, Turkey. The one thing that I've learned most about eating healthy is that there is a need to listen to your belly. My belly told me less than five mins after eating a small dish of those items that it was not good for me. I had two separate thoughts about my body's response, one: I felt bad for my husband and two I was glad that my body was kicking it out and not allowing it to live on my insides.

Today, my body told me that I was wanted, juice and tea. So, I have already made two jars of green juice for the day. I hope that it allows my belly to settle down as it still feels sort of upset. After I made me juice, I went into the kitchen to see my eight year old enjoying a sip. Of course, I don't have all of the items to make a healthy balanced juice so I used what were in the refrigerator. That consist of: Spinach, Pineapples, Oranges and apples. Yes, that was a sweet juice that quenched me thirst and gave me a sugar high.  Needless to say, I will be making a grocery run today so that I am stocked with the correct food that provides the correct results.

Wising everyone a Happy Black Friday and a Happy Spy Saturday. I will be home with my children relaxing and watching documentaries on clean eating.. This is the life :)

Here is Miss Nichole grabbing her a sip of my juice...She said, this sure taste great Mom. 

Clean Eating

Here are a few more pictures of my clean eating...Woop Woo~

This is my new style and I am so excited about this sort of thing going into my system. The only downfall to eating so clean is that when my finances are low it is hard to keep up with purchasing these items. I hope that one day foods that are healthy can come down in price. That is my only frustration!

Weigh in on Last Day!!

Hi Friends,

I forgot to post my ending weight when I finished my most recent eight day juice fast. My apologies, I have posted below my weight at the close of Day 8.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hi Friends:

I wanted to tell all of my friends, Happy Thanksgiving and I wanted to let you see that we can prepare a healthy entree for friends when they come over to celebrate this special day with us.

Enjoy your Turkey Day!!

How am I living

Hi Friends:

So I ended my fast on November 8th...things have been going well for me and I can actually see how clean eating allows you to feel light and keeps your bowels regular. It brings about an awareness of your body that is amazing, I can actually tell when I've eaten something bad.

I wonder can anyone agree wit that? I have swamped myself with all sorts of healthy eating blogs and facebook groups. Boy does that help with conviction as well as motivation. I really do like that I can look online and get some motivation any time of the day or night.

I posted a few pics of my new favorite breakfast that I would not have ever that would make me happy. I have decreased my meat intake so much and I have almost stepped away from bread and white flour completely  One step at a time, but I do want to make more healthy choices wit my eating.  As I have mentioned in the past, planning in advanced and shopping inside of a whole food grocery store has been very beneficial to me.

Oatmeals with apples, this is NOT my style..Guess what, it was so good and I was totally amazed. This has become quick and simple to make so that I can also start the day off with breakfast. Every morning I make breakfast for my two children and my husband and there is usually not enough time to make me anything. Lately, I have been able to enjoy breakfast as well and that has really made me happy.

Enjoy your day friends!!

More Info from Michelle Tess

Here is additional information about juicing that will be helpful for many.

Here are some documentaries I recommend to get you motivated to start the change: 

 

1. Food, Inc.

Looks into the industrial production of the food we eat, food labelling laws, Monsanto and organic farm practices. 

2. Food Matters

This documentary looks further into the food we eat and how consuming nutritious food could prevent diseases and treat a range of health conditions. It includes some inspiring speakers, such as David Wolfe and Charlotte Gerson.

3. Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead

Fellow Aussie Joe Cross changes his life through juicing. Although many do not agree with his extreme approach, I believe it's great motivation just to see how powerful juicing can be.

4. The Gerson Miracle

Looks at the Gerson Therapy and how this helps to treat cancer. It's an amazing movie that really makes you think about cancer and the conventional therapies being used in hospitals.

Like many, after watching these movies, I had the following thoughts;

• What can I do, I am only one person?
• There is so much to change! If I change I want to do it properly!
• Changing to an organic lifestyle will cost too much.

Remember that one change is better than none at all. Vote with your money and support local farmers and organizations striving to do the right thing for the world.

 

If you've already changed to a cleaner lifestyle: Congratulations! The best thing we can do is to share our story! Educate one person; share the information you found most inspiring and helpful to keep the ripple effect going.
