Blog: journal of my 30 day juice fast
i just wanted to post today because i had this amazing feeling while i went for a run tonite what life is like when you are in control. my week has been a little crazy due to spring break hence a bit more holiday type activity going on which i did participate in. but i ate really well and limited my alcohol intake adn i ran 6 days. i use to look at peolpe running and think man i wish i could be that motivated. well i realised tonite i am that motivated.
this is what my weekend looked like - i water fasted on friday ran that night then saturday i juiced and raw, went for a run then went camping at the beach that nite - i had soem grilled fish and a few beers and glass of champagne.... but i got up today and ate well all day. (after alcohol i always use to crave food and eat far too much). then tonite i ate some baked veggies and went for a run. i must say i am quite pleased with myself. i feel like i have managed to incorporate my old life into my new one. still socialise have fun but also look after myself. i am aslo lovign having more energy. at the beach i actually ran around with the kids... something i had trouble doing when we were there last time which was just new years eve. i was running tonite and thinkin here i am running with my dog at nite after a great weekend and feeling very much in control and thought... oh this is what it is like...is this what it is like havign it all. and i dont mean materialistic either. just havign the power the control over your own life your own body your spirit and your soul.
the reason i said a glimpse into what it is like is because i still have lots of weight to go adn i think that once i have gotten that under control i will feel really empowered to turn all this energy i am using tryign to lose weight into something more productive that will help other people. but i really do need to remember how far i have come and how much better my life is now that i am finally in control of what i eat what i drink and how much i exercise. im so much more alive and living a better life.
the reason i really wanted to post was becasue while i was running i was thinkin maybe if i write this on curezone someone will read it and maybe i can inspire them to take control. i know the juice fast was the kick start to my life changes. im so glad i took that journey. and yes i am going back for more. i will start next week. and its all about the weigh - i have a date i want to reach my goal weight and the juice fast will ensure this. i will start in 1 weeks time. this week i have to work a whole week fulltime which is going to be enough of a shocker for me that i dont want to add the first three detox days in there. i dont know how people fast and go to work fulltime or look after young children. hats off to you guys!

Hi Ausjulie. Just wanted to say that you Rock! I have been on curezone for about 2 months, since starting the Colonix program, and I browse the blogs now and then. I have found your 30day fast journey so interesting, and have really enjoyed "getting to know you" through your journey. I was a bit worried, though, after you broke the fast, that you were getting a little too obsessed with losing weight. As someone responded to you once, you can't be on a diet forever, and you have to come to terms with slow weight loss while living life.
I am not overweight, but like most women, woudl love to lose 10 lbs. I have been, at times in my life 10 lbs more than I am now, so that would be 20 lbs overweight. While that is not much, relatively speaking, all women (and some men) know the tricky business it can be to want to lose weight, and know that one can get obsessed with it and think about it, and all that for a lifetime! Most of us know that is such a waste of energy, but it is hard to get it under control.
Well, with this last e-mail, in my humble opinion, you sound very much on your way to getting past your obsession with losing weight, and moving into living, being and feeling good and in control. Life and food and our weight and health have to find a balance, we have to work to stay healthy and fit, but not obsess about it. It is tricky! But it is life....
Anyway, I loved your last message. You sounded so strong and clear about what is important, which is you and how strong and good you are... and I thought I would just share my thoughts.
Go Girl!

| thanks so much for your positive comments it is always nice to hear good things. i feel also that your concern comes from compassion so i wanted to respond the best way i could. you wonder if i am a little obsesed with weight loss....well i freely admit it. but maybe determined is a better word. i have a goal and i want to reach it. to me it is just like having a task or projcet at work and you put in the hours to see it finished. does that make sense??

Yes, that makes perfect sense. Obsessed is a tricky word, and determined is better. The former denotes a sort of urgency that is not maybe as healthy as it could be, and the latter speaks to an informed, aware intention. Determined is a good way to be, and I applaud you for being that! You've come a long way and we all have faith in you!

I just read your blogs about your last fast & want first of all to congratulate you on your success! You really are an inspiration!! Anyone who can have the dedication to a goal like you have is to be commended.
I am trying to lose 30-40 pounds, and haven't decided if I want to fast, do an every other day fast, or simply work it off slowly (probably the best idea), but your blog about the energy you felt was so motivational. I've been lacking energy & have gotten my sleeping schedule really messed up lately, so I bet fasting would really remedy that. Either way, you've definitely given me a lot to consider! I will undoubtedly come back to your blogs over and over, both to see your continued progress, and to keep me motivated! THANKS so much for sharing, and I wish you continued good health!
