I had wheatgrass for the first time today! It was pretty yummy. Kind of sweet tasting- a surprise actually.
This morning I weighed 126.5 :D
On day 3 I was 135.0. I don't know what I was before I started because I had been binging a lot and I was afraid to get on the scale, lol.
I had a benitite clay and psyllium husk drink today. I heard the clay is good at drawing toxins out of your body- and it must work, because my head hurt a little bit this evening :O wow!
Hope everyone is doing well :)- Re: Day 12 teachtheword

I'm so proud of you. Twelve days of juice fasting!! Amazing! I have never had wheat grass. I like beets, apple, and a couple of carrots. How often do you juice during the day. I have one fruit in the am and one veggie at dinner. I drink lemonade (fresh lemons, stevia, and water) during the day. Then lots and lots of water. Sometimes when I exercise I come back and juice cantalope. It seems to help my muscles recover.
What are you juicing? Do you have something that is helping with your progress?
Blessings,
Cheryl

Thanks a lot Cheryl. I actually don't like beets :P hehe. I tend to do one main juice a day with a minor one. An example might be having a celery-cucumber-carrot-apple-grapefruit drink in the morning, then a little apple juice in the evening. I try to drink a lot of water too though I should be drinking more. Lately I've been using stuff to promote BMs so I can avoid colonics. I used grapefruit and apple fiber before. Now I'm drinking aloe vera juice daily and I'm about to start using that clay and psyllium daily too.
I actually had a little lemonade today too ;-) but without stevia.- Re: Day 12 teachtheword

I really think your am juice sounds delicious. I may try that. I was thinking of adding some fiber to my juice fast to do a colon cleanse. I take the smoothe move tea every evening. I have some Super Seed beyond Fiber by Garden of Life. Do you add your apple fiber to your juice twice a day? Not sure how to do it while I'm juicing. I bet I will need to drink alot of water with it.
I've read about the P&B shakes. Let me know your experience. I think you should be careful though because your fasting and it could pull alot of minerals from your colon. You'll know though. When the smooth move does that I get leg cramps if I need potassium and my scalp itches if I need magnesium. I juice for the potassium but take a powdered magnesium in water if I think I need it.
I'm hear to support you. I have 2 children in graduate school so I could be your mother. (Age 49). I try to be their biggest cheerleaders along with hubby. Hey, if I'm not who will be? I'll post a picture in a few days. You look like a sweet girl. Keep it going! I'm learning from you. Just proves your never too old to learn if you stay open to it. Day 8 this morning.
Leaving for church will check in this afternoon. I think I'll take an afternoon nap today.

Lovelylaydie,
I have 30 minutes extra this morning so I logged back on before I left. Glad to get your post. I will be glad to be your support mom also. That is a role I love and cherish. I've not read kierkegord but my son loves him and has read everything he's written. He was a policy politic major and a philosophy minor in undergrad. Now he's at Georgetown law and doing International Human Rights. He has such a heart for the oppressed and specifically the illegal trafficing of young girls like in cambodia. I think that Kierkegord really influenced him that way.
My moth story means alot to me. I've been through alot. Started as a child where I was abused alot. That makes you ask questions about yourself, God, life, etc. I've found the answer that I believe is the truth and it's that everything will be used for good in my life and to bring glory to God through Jesus. I know God hated some of the things that happened to me but there is a greater eternal purpose. Life can be tough at times.
Listen you can do whatever you put your mind to. I've found that life, disappointment, weight loss, health issues, etc; it's a matter of my thought pattern. I can spiral down into despondancy if I don't talk truth to myself instead of letting myself talk to me.
The truth is that today you are free to make the choices to complete your fast. You shouldn't let your mind tell you otherwise.
I will be thinking of you and liftng up a prayer! You can accomplish this. I will just be a click away.
Blessings,

This is a reply to # 737,436your son sounds like the next lawyer at International Justice Mission... Someday I will have to talk to you about the other details of life outside of fasting... i used to live with a prositute who was trafficked from southeast asia to england at 16.... when i lived with her she was working at a prostitute back in her home country, but by that time she was about 20. anyway, i have lots of interesting stories, but i will spare the fasters :) gotta stick to the forum topic, don't we :).... but here's a link to one story i wrote... http://followthecross.blogspot.com/2005/10/night-in-patpong.html and then this is a link to stories about some ex-street kids in south asia that I founded a home for... they are lovely :) http://www.restoredyouth.blogspot.com
many blessings and thanks for the fasting support!- Re: Day 12 teachtheword

Good to hear from you again. Yes the topic is fasting. How is it going today? Where can I offer support? Let me know I am here for you.
By the way my son interviewed with IJM for an internship. He took the blackstone fellowship last summer. He loves and admires IJM.
We can E-Mail about that if you like. You could E-Mail me at my userid at yahoo. I don't write it out because spammers sweep forum sites for E-Mail addresses. It would be great to chat about that. My son would enjoy hearing I'm sure.
Have a good day and you are doing great!!!
Blessings,
Cheryl
