My break wasn't smooth but the journey continues...

As I sit here 8 days post fast, I have a story much different from the one I had anticipated to be telling once done the cleanse. 

I decided to break the fast on day 34 because I had 'accidentally' dropped 3 bottles of juice and thought it was time to take a universal hint. The juice also seemed to burn my mouth and the taste had changed in a negative way.

The next couple of days I juiced. I made veggie juice(carrot,celery and parsley) and really enjoyed it. I then transitioned into orange juice and made the veggie soup from Zoebess's recipe. The best veggie soup I have ever had by the way!

On Wednesday evening my group was celebrating it's 19th anniversary with a potluck. I had some veggies and salad and fruit and felt wonderful. One of the girls is a baker and she made an incredible chocolate mouse cake iced with whip cream and chocolate covered strawberries. I made the mistake of having a piece!

It was a mistake because it set off an eating binge that made me feel sick and  very disappointed in myself. One thing I did realize was I just can't eat sugary, processed foods without going into a binge.

I pulled out of that binge and began eating mostly veggie soup, lots of avocados and veggies with homemade hummus as a dip. I made my second batch of soup and hummus tonight. I highly recommend Zoebess's recipe it is so good.

I am staying away from fruit because it is disagreeing with me. I seriously think I have a Candida problem and am looking into doing a cleanse for that. I did a Candida test and scored over the top for Candida and carb addiction. The maple syrup may have not been all that good for my system. I have all the symptoms that coincide with Candida but were diagnosed as Fibromyalgia.

Apparently that is a very common occurrence.

I plan to get some muscle testing done and am going to look into the Candida cleanse tomorrow. I heard of a diet that includes something called SF722 that will kill the Candida. There is also a woman named Karen Tripp who has a website about her own healing journey. It has the basic program outline along with the right foods and plenty of recipes.

The past week has been awful. I have no energy and went into a kind of depression going back to eating again. My body feels just wrecked, tired and  sore. I had such great focus while cleansing and so much more energy. I feel like I have fallen back so much!

I am eating a lot of veggies and next to no processed foods so I am doing well with food right now. I haven't been exercising tho because I am caught in that cycle of having no energy and very sore muscles and joints. I just need to start walking and the rest will come about I am sure.

All in all I figure this is a journey I will always be on so it will not end. In fact in many ways it has just began. I have learned a lot about myself over the past 40 days and have faith that good will come of it. I send blessings and prayers to all the people who have helped me and who are on this healing journey too.

Take care,

Love Jennifer
