Blog: My Journey to Wellness
Okay, my mind is made up. I am going to record here EVERYTHING that I eat, everything I do, my research, what I think about things and what I intend to do to get myself and my family on the road to health.
I have been participating on the forum "General Fasting" but now I just figured out how to set up my blog so that I can keep a diary of my journey here.
While I don't have a lot of time now for detail, I tried fasting the last couple of days. I realize I am too sick and too addicted to caffeine to jump right into a fast. Last night I binged and it taught me that I need to LISTEN to my body in order to help it heal. I have ignored my own inner wisdom for so many years that I can barely hear that small voice inside me any longer. I am learning to LISTEN.
I'm still off coffee. My head still hurts and I expect it to for a week or more. I'll survive. I'm going to kick the caffeine first then move on. I'm not going to worry so much about HOW MUCH food I am eating right now, but WHAT I am eating.
I'm learning more about eating RAW and I believe that is the way for me to go. While I might not do 100% raw, I want to increase my intake of good healthy raw foods so that my body can heal.
Today I have eaten:
For Breakfast: A wonderful, delicious SMOOTHIE made from bananas, frozen strawberries, pomegranate and blueberry juice and a small splash of almond milk along with flaxseed and green life. It was SOOOO GOOD!
Lunch Was: a sweet potato soup (cooked on low) with 1 onion in an organic prepackaged mushroom base and a Romaine Salad with celery, cucumber, broccoli, seaweed salad, anchovies, evvo and apple vinegar.
That's it for now.

Today is my 4th day off coffee and while I have a slight headache, I'm starting to feel better. I noticed today that the dark circles under my eyes are starting to fade a bit. While I still feel very tired, I am beginning to feel better, if that makes sense. I don't know how to explain it really, like my head is more clear and not so sick inside.
Today we had smoothies for breakfast (bananas, strawberries, almond milk, flaxseed and greenlife) I LOVE THEM! Lunch was veggie rolls, (romaine for the 'roll' and the following cut up: spinach, avocado, seaweed salad, cukes, lil' tommatoes, gabanzoes blended with garlic for spread) I can't begin to tell you how good these were!
Dinner was a fresh soup of broccoli, asparagus, a carrot, garlic a pinch of salt and pepper with almond milk and water) I blended this on high until there were no chunks, put in a pan, heated on LOW for a few just till warm. It was good/okay, next time not so much garlic.. it is much stronger when you aren't cooking it to death.
I had a banana for snack. I'm feeling like I want to eat, maybe it'll pass or maybe I can think of something else I want.
I think this whole raw thing is the best.

- Saturday and I'm still here by pplanko

Okay, it is Saturday, October 10 and I am still here, checking out the forums, reading, educating myself... yada, yada.
Today I am going to purge my kitchen of things that are not healthy to eat & I'm going shopping to stock my kitchen with wise choices.
My head still hurts from not having coffee.. I WILL get OVER IT! I still can't sleep at night. I was wiped out last night and actually went to bed at a normal hour, around 10ish. I was awake at 12:30 with the usual feelings of being hungry. *I'm sure the hunger is mostly emotional... but (pat on the back here) I did NOT give in. It was around 3:30 when I finally fell back asleep, but I kept thinking (as I wanted to eat or drink SOMETHING) ... my body needs to fast at night, I need to ALLOW my body to heal itself by not stressing it by putting food into it to digest.
I am thinking more and more about the time that I will actually do the water fast. I need to PLAN it out. Make sure it is a time that I am not having to go a ton of places so that I can rest and heal.
Just had a nice beet/carrot/celery/apple juice and I'm going to drink some green tea.
Later :)
