Day 97 18 y
A new healing/detox...
Warning: Men, we’re talking female reproductives, read at your own curiousity. :)
Had an interesting developement this last week. Now, I’m not a doctor so I can’t say for sure, but I do believe my uterus underwent a detox/healing.
You see, as mentioned in previous posts, I began this fast for many reasons but one of them because was because of the pressence of fibroid tumors in my uterus. I had been diagnosed with these, during pregnancy with my daughter, two years ago. I started experiencing symptoms that they were back, last December. My mother has struggled with all kinds of femal ... read more Day 94 18 y
Weight loss has slowed and I'm not too pleased with it. :)
Well, I’ve lost A LOT of weight during this fast, but then again I had a lot to lose in the first place. :)
Lately the weight loss has slowed down, like 2 pounds a week. That, I can do eating and working out. So, if I don’t start seeing some more acceptable results soon, I’m going to have to think of some ideas to boost that weight loss. I haven’t had a lot of time to do cardio lately, so maybe adding more of that will help things out. I also considered stopping my fast, eating for two weeks to get things reved up again... but then I really don’t want to go through the whole hunger thin ... read more Day 92 18 y
TMI for sure but interesting...
Warning: TMI :)
Well today I had yet another big flush, out of nowhere. I had just enjoyed my last glass of juice for the day and suddenly felt the urge to ”go”. Now, normally I would not be the type to speak about bowel issues and what comes forth from the bowels, but in the name of health, information and science, here I go. :D
I’ve read a few fasting testimonies where people describe a rope-like object being flushed during a fast. I always wondered what that object could be, and wondered if I’d ever find anything like that. Well, today I believe I did. It was small, looked like fe ... read more Day 90!!! 18 y
Ninety days and still going. She just keeps going and going and going....
Whoooo!!! I’ve made it 90 days and I’m still going. I’m shooting for 120 and then I’ll reevaluate where I am, unless my body says it’s done.
I hit a pretty big low (mentally) yesterday as the weight loss has decreased significantly. Like only 2 pounds lost last week. THAT is very discouraging, especially when I’m still far from my goal weight. But I’ve done this before and I know you have good weeks and bad weeks. I just wish I would have journaled more during my longest fast, so I could go back and look at when weight loss slowed down, etc.
I believe my medical issue is gone however ... read more Day 86... but who's counting? 18 y
Continuing another 30 days or so....
Yep, technically I’d be stopping my fast in four days but I’m not ready to do that. In fact, I’m thinking I’ll be going another 30 for a total of 120. I may even go longer.
I know some people may think it’s crazy but I know what I’m doing. :) I know what results I’m looking for and I know when my body is done.
Yesterday I had another BIG elimination. This time after drinking some herbal blueberry, hibiscus, rosehips tea. Out of nowhere my stomach started to grumble and I was running for the bathroom. LOL I still can’t beleive what is hanging out in my intestines after 86 days of fast ... read more Day 76 18 y
Day 76 and kidney/bladder issue...
Well, things moving along just fine here. Besides our lack of Spring and my absolute craving for sunshine, not much to report.
I did start experiencing some throbbing in the area of my right kidney, which is something I’ve not experienced before. This was after two days of not eliminating (I decided to rebel). Then today, I felt what seemed like a bladder infection, no doubt the two are connected.
So, I immediately did an enema and drank a bunch of water with some added Grapefruit Seed Extract. About an hour or two later the pain in my right side started to taper off and so did the f ... read more Day 68, I think, and mentally HUNGRY! 18 y
The battlefield of the mind! Want taste, but have to tell my mind 'NO'!
The last few days I have craved food like a pregnant lady! No, I’m not hungry, I just want taste! Something other than fruits and veggies. I want seasoning, salt and sauce. If this makes any sense. lol ;)
I put a green onion in my mouth, wondering if I could blend it into a tasty drink of some sorts. Then, I was very bad. I put a Manzinilla Olive in my mouth and salvated all over it. The taste of something, sour and salty, kind of vinagery, was TO DIE FOR. Of course, I didn’t chew and I promptly spit the olive out. Ah, but I was in heaven for a few short minutes....
I know if I were ... read more Day 60 and still going... 18 y
Day 60 of the 90+ day Juice Fast.
Well, day 60 here. Not much to report.
Still eliminating about a cup worth of whatever-you-wannna-call-it, each day.
Yesterday I started to experience a little detox in the head (or spinal area), I believe. Something similar to what I had experienced at the beginning of this fast. Slight pressure in the neck and I felt a little ”out-there”. Slowly it started to go away and this morning I awoke feeling great. I’ve heard that our spine tends to hold a lot of toxins...
I’m definetely at the point where I’m sick of juices. Yep, I’ve just about had it with my juice selection and frankl ... read more Day 52 18 y
Day 52, fasting and prayer...
Well, not too much to report. The last few days I’ve had a sore throat. I believe my daughter has a cold that I’ve caught in a mild way. I feel just fine, but the throat thing is a little annoying. Ah well....
I don’t really desire juice much, but I keep up my regular 3 juices a day anyway. I noticed this during my last longterm fast. Towards the end I was drinking mostly water. Nothing changed as far as my energy or sleeping, just that I didn’t desire juice much.
I’m still losing weight, but it has slowed down a lot. About a pound, every two days. Sometimes, I’ll have days where I l ... read more Day 44 18 y
Some hmmmmm.... and some new discoveries...
Well day 44 here.
Not much new except dark urine. Yes, that may be a little TMI but we are on a health forum...
:-D
Yes, normally the urine is waterish, but the last few days it’s been very dark. I haven’t changed a thing in my diet so I’m not sure why it’s darkened. If anyone has ideas, that would be great. :) My grandmother (sort of a professional) thinks it may be a part of detox. I don’t know, it’s never happened before.
UPDATE: Everything back to normal. Perhaps this was caused by detox. ???
On to another subject, I have discovered Aloe Vera Juice and Ginger. The juice is ... read more Day 40 18 y
Balanced and alive would be the best descriptors...
Today is day 40. I’m doing much better than a couple of days ago. lol :) I have to constantly remind myself of why I’m doing this and what the amazing benefits are.
The best description for me would be balanced and truly alive. No, these are not totally bi-products of the fast, but a good deal of it is a result of fasting. My harmones are no longer causing me to be frazzled one minute and o.k. the next. My body isn’t in discomfort, everything is working like it should, especially my mind. I’m clear and focused. I can see why God would call His people to fast during crucial periods, beca ... read more Day 38 18 y
Day 38 and much to say...
Well it’s day 38 and amazingly there are things to talk about. Still eliminating, which doesn’t suprise me since at day 140 of my last fast, there was still small quanties of stuff being eliminated... Does make you a little sick to think just how much is in your intestines, even when you’re not eating.
Did anyone know that John Wayne had 40 pounds of fecal matter in his intestines when he died? He was a meat and potatos man (like my husband) and I remind my hubby of that fact pretty often. I really wish he’d fast or change something in his diet for a while. He really eats terribly but h ... read more Day 33- Found a good resource 18 y
Good reminder today...
Found a good resource for fasting. FreedomYou fasting.

I like her testimony because it reminds me of the main reason I started this fast. I think I’d forgotten it, having gotten wrapped up in how I was feeling. visit the page What day am I on? Oh, yeah... day 32 18 y
Day 32 of the 60+ day fast
Everything going pretty normal. Full of energy, sleeping GREAT, losing weight... I drank my lax tea this morning instead of last night just to see the difference and I do believe that being awake had a different effect because I have flushed more throughout the day than if I had drinken it at night. Not sure why the difference, but it’s there. :)
Kind of getting tired of juice. I can only stomach certain juices so my variety of juices I can drink, has gotten a little boring. :) I don’t plan on stopping any time soon, so I hope I can get over this little ”discouragement” I guess you coul ... read more Still going.... 18 y
Progressing along on day 28....
Well, day 28 here. It has gone by so fast and oh, my body feels sooooo great! I started walking again to prepare for my marathon. I’m so excited about this. My husband is going to walk/run it with me, he’s such a stud!
Two days ago I had quite a flush (via lax tea). I couldn’t believe what was still in there after 28 days! Yuck. In previous fasts I had never used lax tea just my lovely (not) enemas. But I decided during this go around that an extra push would be helpful and boy, is it working.
The family and I went out for a drive yesterday, no particular destination in mind, just to ... read more Day 25 18 y
Day 25 and what I've learned.
Well, I can’t believe it’s been twenty five days since I started this fast. It has gone by quickly. Had a bad detox at the beginning but have been doing very well since.
I did get sick a few days ago (cold) which is new because I’ve never been sick during a fast. I think it may be part of a detox cycle, as this morning I awoke with a headache (usual sign of toxic build-up for me). Two enemas helped make it better, not completely gone, but better. This cold is also not as bad as I know it would have been. My kidlets got pretty sick. :( They’re better now though. :)
I wanted to write a ... read more 1st Blog :) 18 y
The start of a journey...
Well, I’ve been on curezone a while and figured I should start my own blog regarding my journey through juice fasting. I’ve greatly benefited from reading about other’s journeys.
