About Me:: I am a wife and mother of 5 beautiful boys and I am currently on day 65 of my juice feast. I just couldn't wait for the Global Juice Feast to begin. It will be so exciting to have everyone begin and I can't wait to be a part of that energy.

What kind of life shifts/transformations are you looking to have with Juice Feasting?: I am going to heal my body of all it's imbalance and deal with my relationship with food. I will get to the heart of my addiction with food and learn to love myself enough so that I won't need to abuse my body anymore.

Interests (Beyond Nutrition): I once was a mosaic artist and I love to read when I am not busy with my men and their sports.

Favorite Books: Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert - A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle

read your blog today wanted to leave you a comment but somehow I can't hmmm anyway sounds like you are enjoying getting re-acquainted with food. Fruit, prunes, salads mmm. Btw I love Hanlie too, I love her photographs her posts are so sincere, sometimes humorous and always full of valuable information.

I have a lot of weight to lose hence the focus on cardio. Spinning is cool because its kind of hard core and after 45 minutes its over with......I do yoga too but its not enough to burn calories. So I'm at 180 lbs now if I keep this up I should be able to get to my ideal weight of 140lbs by this winter and then I can start planning on getting pregnant. I sometimes wish I had focused more on relationships rather than work so perhaps I would have a family by now but hey everything happens for a reason and I am trying to live without regrets. I am not sure if I will stay in Italy or this relationship but I am sure that I will have a baby. I feel it inside, weird huh?
Well if its God's will so it will be. You must be so proud of yourself what a huge accomplishment! This is day 28 for me today or 52 if I stick with the old count. I am still not tired of juices, still feeling good and willing to keep going. I am taking Chanca Piedra, emotional detox going on, today I cried for no reason. Well I better go this is turning into a post! Love to you my dear xoxo

I went to a women's conference where I was presenting a 2-day track on God's heart for the poor, and my experiences in Africa. The conference was great, but I didn't have time to juice, so I fell back on some organic soup made at Wild Oats...and hummus...and last night I tasted to see if I had enough salt in the mashed potatoes I made for the kids...and could not stop! So I blew the last 5 days, and am desperately trying to get back on track. It was just so warm and tasty, and the juice I'm having are back to tasting like grass!
I fell down our stairs the first day I got back and really hurt my tail-bone...I just want some chicken soup for the soul!
So its probably providential that you are checking in on me right now!!!
How are you keeping up?

So while challenging to NOT have anything to "make it better", I am thankful for the limitations of the JF keeping me on track. I have to learn anew to take my anxieties to God, and trust that He will take care of us!

The rebounder helps a lot too.
How are you keeping up with the juicing?
