The experience after the 'Juice Cleanse'

2nd day after the juice cleanse, I'd been cooking lots of foods..so excited!

The downside was I can't eat much, worst still for the first day I touch the foods, everything tastes so sensitive and yet so dry in mouth. Well, I supposed I was too greedy @@ I should've taken everything much slowly...naughty!

14/14 of 'Juice Cleanse': Self-will

'Where there's a WILL, there's a WAY!' 'Thank you, Lord for this opportunity!!'

14 days has been almost towards the end of if, I think I deserve a pad on my shoulder...I am proud of being me, I feel great (as a result of this cleansing), and mostly, my believe has gone to another deeper lever of myself!!

This is my own quote I am proud to share, 'If you believe in something, go for it, stimulate yourself on the way, and just keep doing it until you get it! 

Thank you, Lord for this opportunity!! Thank you for those who've been supporting me all the way, my family! Look forward to eat again....kept thinking what to eat after this, my list goes too long...:-)

13/14 Day of 'Juice Cleanse': Clean

By now, I can differentiate between 'hunger' and 'temptation' pretty clearly, in my own way.

This is the story you can apply, just imagine if there are 2 rooms side by side inside of you, and you put the word HUNGER in one room and TEMPTATION on the other side of the room...close your eyes and said which room are you in at the moment.

Your mind traveled to the tummy part and feel it if you're really and truly hungry - HUNGER room (well, drink your juice first, avoid leaving your mouth dry and thirsty, because the sweetness of the juice is enough to stop your craving from time to time).

And this time move to another room to feel again - TEMPTATION room (in my case is my brain). If you're actually tempted to same particular food that you smell or see at that time...for me, it's sooo clear that the 'hunger' room don't say anything and the 'temptation' room roaring terribly bad.

So, is that obvious which room you are at? Think about it..

To me, there is no reason to give up just because you're too 'hungry' (just think you can always eat after the cleansing time, right?), you must separate the two issues here. But again, everyone is different, you will know when it's the 'right time' for you to start, continue, & to stop.
You'll feel full once you sip the juice. My suggestion is to make yourself preoccupied with lots of activities, so that your brain does not 'play tricks' on you.

12/14 Day of 'Juice Cleanse': Uplifting

Did you know?
that you're not feeling hungry during fasting? (more about it tomorrow :-)

I know it's a fasting season for me, but I want to share with you that even though you're fasting, you can still enjoy the food you're cooking or even seeing your family enjoying the foods (can't help, right? Because they still need to eat daily).

What else?

There are all cooked without MEATS! Lots of people have been asking what sort of food to cook then? 'That would be boring!' 'Not enough vitamins for my kids.' 'I don't think we can do it!' 'It's too hard for my husband to change!' The lists will continue.....

It comes down to your 'CHOICE'. I will not say much about it because I am not in the position to say more about health and nutritious, I am just the ordinary woman who're just happy and believe what I believe and more importantly life is getting better and better ever since (in my opinion). So, I thought...hmm, we must be doing something right somewhere :-)

Since food are consumed largely everyday, we have to learn to be a smart eater and yet still enjoying the foods we eat, remember the famous quote says 'YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT.' Don't worry, I am still a human with lots of bad habits, too! Like fried stuffs and so on, but at least keep learning to be healthier everyday, that itself should be enough (I think) :-)

11/14 Day of 'Juice Cleanse': Immune

Good day everyone...

Let me share you the quote I love so much...'We are not victims of aging, sickness and death. These are part of scenery, not the seer, who is immune to any form of change. This seer is the spirit, the expression of eternal being.'(Deepak Chopra)

Mushroom is one of the healthiest fungi some people ignore its benefits.
 

The first one, I have no clue its name, but you can find it almost in any market (Perth), taste very sweet and juicy. Size can be as big as a plate.

Shimeji: studies show that these compounds may be beneficial to the human immune system and may help to prevent allergies, asthma and diabetes.

Enoki: has significant anticancer and immune-enhancing effects.

Shitake: has been used for centuries by the Chinese and Japanese to treat colds and flu.

10/14 Day of 'Juice Cleanse': Synchronize

So far so greatt...body & mind are 97% cooperated, the other 3% (secretly..) I've been writing down those food places I missed, to go after and foods to eat. Thank God I'm still human and still look forward to eat my own foods :-)

I feel soooo (sorry, too attached) synchronized...my body, my mind, my spirit...I LOVE myself, I LOVE what I am doing! Thanks Lord once again for the opportunity for me to feel again your grace and love deep inside me. If people said fasting is too challenging, but now I can proudly say that if there is a WILL, there is a WAY! Also I need to remind myself about it everytime I face something challenging in life.

This is just another idea I want to share..

9/14 Day of 'Juice Cleanse': Silence

Silence is the true friend that never betrays. ~Confucius

9 Days have been passed, I gained more confident in myself (and to others) that I/we can somehow do things correctly, if I/we want to! With enough will power, knowing what you're doing, believe in it, focus, prays, and just keep doing it!! I think I mentioned this on the earlier blog. 

Go to your destiny to you all! xoxo
