Juicey Feasty Jacquie (Start: June 9, 2008 - July 22, 2008)

It has been a while, my last post was in July...

Since breaking my juice feast I have had a few struggles, but have continued to loose weight. I am at a 60 pound weight loss, which isn't exactly where I wanted to be, but I'm still making my transition into raw foods. I don't plan on going 100% because I do enjoy certain vegan/cooked foods from time to time, but overall that is where I want to be.

I didn't do the full time period that I wanted to complete during my feast, but I view it as a tri… Continue

Well...I'm not drinking enough..my heart is not in juicing at this time.

What disappoints me is that even though I knew… Continue

I love going to health food stores or natural markets. They have such interesting products and I always feel good when I leave. Like I accomplished something positive. I'm back to juicing and planning my next green juice, going to experiment with bell pepper and ginger. Maybe I'll come up with something amazing...i doubt it, but one can dream. Anyhow, while I was there I glanced a few juicing books and got a few ideas for recipes. :D

Tomorrow is a family visit and I'm preparing food for it and… Continue

There is a topic on the forums here discussing women related issues *cough monthly cycle cough* and without going into detail, spare you with that, I am very hormonal and have been for a few days. Thus I have been craving CHOCOLATE as I always do and well anything with bold flavors. I'm not sure how to deal with these cravings as they are very strong and not your "god i could really go for a" kind of thing. It is more like CHOCOLATE NOW!

I haven't had any chocolate, I like dark chocolate which… Continue
