- Day 1554 h
- Half way woo hoo!!
Half way thru and i am absolutley going to see this thru, very bored with juices, dont really feel like anything but trying to keep them up for calories. I have lost a bit of weight, as always heaps to go. My sleping is all messed up again, when i sleep it is so deep but just have trouble falling asleep. Or rather that i like to go to bed late and sleep in, which has happened on other fasts too. I wish i could just go with what feels right but not sure work would completely understand sleeping thru the day!!
I am using lax teas to keep things going and that seems to be working ok, again w ... read more

- back at it again! yah hoo!!!
well i am back again, this is my sixth 30 day fast and im on day 12. i havent kept a blog so far because i havent felt i needed one but on reflection i wish i had. i will try and post how it has been the last 12 days and stay up with it now. but right now i am trying to get to sleep so i guess typing on here is counter productive!
will post more tomorrow! happy to be back!! visit the page
- Day 30 of 308 mon
- Feeling excellent!!
Woo hoo completed my fifth 30 day long juice fast. I am guessing i lost about 8kgs, again i still have probably another 5 to go mostly my tummy but happy to work on it with low carb low fat diet and increase the exercise. this fast was relatively easy in regards to my willpower but i do not think i got the benefits i usually feel. next one i need to look more into different types of juice and take the detox much more seriously. i think it would be good to to start a 60 day one right from teh start. but now the hard stuff begins trying to ease into eating and not go overboard! lookign forwa ... read more
- Day 28 of 309 mon
- juice fast
Woo hoo only two days to go and not even a broken juicer is going to stop me getting there! Yep unfortunately yesterday it just stopped working! i am going to make it thru on master cleanse and i queezed orange juice in a little hand squeezer - tedious but lucky only two days to go. weight isn’t budging at all which is again very frustrating. looking forward to finishing, but very glad i have done it! visit the page
- Day 23 of 309 mon
- juice fast
Still going ok some days are better than others, yesterday i ran and for the first time i had energy and was not really sore. i cannot wait to get to 30 days. the weight is coming off but very very slow, the scales have only moved a couple of pounds in 9 days. this is hard to cope with but experience has told me that this happens. my pants that i go by now fit me fine, my aim was to get to the point that they are too big. not sure if that is going to happen in this fast so again looks like i have more work to do after the fast. still need to look at why i continue on this roller coaster ri ... read more
- Day 18 of 309 mon
- over half way
well it is very strange for me posting so far into a fast. this is the first time i have done one without blogging everyday, the main reason i started to post is i really like looking back on how i was feeling and when i did previous fasts. it helps. and since i plan doing a 30 day fast every year it is a good record!
yep so i am 18 days in and feeling pretty good. i will say as usuall i am a bit bored with the fast. i really miss eating but i also love the light feeling you get with fasting. i am not sure what i weighed before i started i just know i was overweight. the last four months ... read more
- Day 4 of 3014 mon
- testing times
tought nite last night between 5&8pm wanting to participate in normal acitivity..argghh its tough! glad i got thru it but man these early days really do test you! slept wonderful, very tired today - due to major detoxing hopefully. still not feeling any true benefits yet...these next few days for me are usually the hardest..the weekend is approaching! thinking of buying scales??? not sure the last few fasts i have not used them because i didnt want it to be all about the weight but sometimes it can motivate thru a difficult stage..mmm will think about it!
really want to snap my fingers an ... read more
- Day 3 of 3014 mon
- mind over matter
slept really well last night didnt want to get out of bed, thank goodness i have to work otherwise would have laid there for hours and then be awake all night. trying to avoid a bad sleeping pattern which has happened to me on previous fasts. starting to get those little voices in my head saying you dont have to do this, just eat, have fun dont worry about the cleansing. they come and go and really its just a matter of telling myself i want to do this! well hopefully that and sticking to it! my tongue is covered in white yuck which is good. not having enough bm’s so will have to have lax t ... read more
- Day 2 of 3014 mon
- just going thru the motions
non eventful really...a bit of trouble sleeping but to be expected. first few days of the fast just a means to getting to a point where i feel fantastic, usually around day 7-10. sticking to apple and orange juice, water and herbal tea. this has worked in the past so going with what gives me the most sucess whilst achieving my goals and cleansing. no exercise as yet will work on this in the next few days!! visit the page
- Day 1 of 3014 mon
- time to start again
well here i go again - time for a cleanse and i guess there is no better day to start then today!! goals are as usual get thru each day and have milestones to achieve. this is again about weight but i dont have that much to lose this time - 10-15 pound would be good. this one is more about the detox and getting healthy!! christmas, new year and easter have taken its toll on me and i find i am eating food that i never use to eat - so i want to get back to that feeling of being clean and not clogged up. its also about taking control and exercising my power over consumption!!
i am feeling bo ... read more
- 2 month update17 mon
- a new year brings new possibilites!!
my weight has still remained the same which is good that i have not gained any but i do still have a desire to be smaller but obviously not putting the work in to make that happen. christmas and new year was a big test and some of it was good some not so good. i did not overeat which i am proud of myself. i maintained mostly raw on most days and when i did eat cooked i really portion controlled. exercise was not good and still isnt. i only went for one walk in two weeks, i definately want to get back into it and just have to make myself do it. i am really considering another 30 day fast bu ... read more
- three weeks post fast19 mon
- Lost a little
I have lost a little weight only a few pounds but some clothes are fitting better. I really want to get rid of some more but life is going good so not going to stress myself out. my week went like this:
friday - mostly raw, no exercise
saturday - cooked, no exercise
sunday - cooked, no exercise
monday - mostly raw , run 4 miles & weights
tuesday - mostly raw, run 4 miles
wednesday - cooked, walk little lake
thursday - cooked, walk big lake
Even though i had more cooked days then previously i really controlled my portions, i had very little processed food with majority being grilled ... read more
- two weeks post fast19 mon
- Same Same
Same story as last week really - i havent put on any weight and i havent lost any. I am ok with this at the moment but still have a bit to go to get to where i want, but i am still happy with my progress so far. My week went like this:
Friday - raw, no exercise
Saturday - cooked, no exercise
sunday - cooked, walk around little lake
Monday - mostly raw, walk around big lake
Tuesday - mostly raw, run 4 miles
Wednesday - mostly raw, run 4 miles
thursday - mostly raw, run 4 miles
When i say mostly raw i stay raw until dinner time and then have salad with some grilled protein or maybe s ... read more
- one week post fast19 mon
- some good things some not so good!
i have not weighed myself again but guessing i would be the same. my week went as follows:
thurs - raw, run 4 mile
fri - raw, no exercise
sat - mostly raw, long walk on beach
sun - more cooked than no exercise
mon - raw, no exercise
tues - mostly raw, run 4 miles
wed - mostly raw, walk big lake and run 3 miles
i was hoping to juice three days a week but it didnt happen will try again next week. i wasnt very happy about having three days off exercise but will definatly fix that this week! when i say mostly raw it is generally raw all day and then for dinner raw salad and a piece of ... read more
- 01st day post fast19 mon
- new beginnings
Well with a banana and mandarin the fast is over - i finally weighed myself and i am 140pd. the last time i weighed myself ws a long time before the fast but i was 162 pd I am guessing i was around that weight if not a little heavier, so i lost 22pd - not bad not great but about average for what i lose on a fast. I may continue to post each week to keep track - realy want to continue on this path of health and well being and weight loss visit the page
- Day 3019 mon
- Excellent feeling
I love posting that headline! Woohoo very proud of myself i have proven i still have it in me to do this!! Feeling really good, tonight i walked around the big lake and did some weights etc. It feels like the exercise is here to stay. I dont know my weight exactly but judging on other fasts and how a few things fit i would say around the low 140’s, with a loss of probably about 20 pounds. This is not really great I would love to be lower but i guess that is just how things work. I am nervous about ending in a sense but i know how to keep things on track so just have to put that into practi ... read more
- Day 2919 mon
- Nearly there
Ran again tonight had lower energy than last night and my legs were a bit sore. Had to work thru lunch today so didnt get my juice which really didnt help with the run. Last day tomorrow as always mixed emotions about finishing. Very much in the fasting rythm it seems such a pity to disrupt it. But its will be good too start working on this weight the hard way - with food added! I am glad i am not weighing myself but it does make it harder to gauge how things are going and also in future to read back on- but will post more thoughts on that tomorrow and may even go and weigh myself somewher ... read more
- Day 2820 mon
- all good still!
today was a good day feeling really great - ran four miles and did some weights situps and push ups. Definately getting fitter. The worse thing is the weight is not moving at all- i am not weighing myself but going by clothing and my smaller work pants dont fit me any better than last week. I experienced this last two fasts where the weight slows downs to snail pace at the end. it hardly seems possible when i am exercising so much. I guess the body is in protection mode or my metabolism has slowed right down..mmm not sure but very frustrating when you are doing all the hard work and not se ... read more
- Day 26 & 2720 mon
- Nearly there!
Last weekend of fasting- it was very laid back. Saturday walked the big lake and sunday was a day of rest - completely! Back into running tomorrow. Starting to want food, i am not hungry just looking fwd to eating. Weight is not budging at all - i know if i kept going it would have to eventually disappear! Well three more days to go and time to get back to reality! visit the page
- Day 22, 23, 24 & 2520 mon
- Fasting paradise
Things are going really, this bit of fasting is so easy, feels like i could go on forever. I do miss my social life though so more than likely 30 days will be it for me. I am a bit disappointed in the weight loss but as always i cant expect a 30 day fast to undo over a years worth of indulgence. I just need to take the things i learn on a fast to normal life. mainly that i really do not need to consume near as much food as i do and stay clear of processed - pretty simple really.
sunday i ran four miles hills and all, monday a walk around the big lake two steps at a time and no problems, t ... read more

Woo hoo things are still great all good!!!! Love this part of fasting. visit the page
- Day 19 & 2020 mon
- Its all good!!
Everything is goind fantastic, i have hit the fasting groove!! Yesterday i went for a walk around the big lake, there are a set of stairs that go on forever when i first started walking this trek i could not get up them without stopping numerous times, i finally got to a point that i could get up them one at a time without stopping, well yesterday i got up them two at a time without stopping - very happy! Today i went for a run and made it the full four miles, hills and all. three weeks ago i wasnt runnign at all, just really happy i am getting fitter and stronger. Still a long way to go b ... read more
- Day 17 & 1820 mon
- Finally at the good bit!
yeah everything has got sooo much better, i feel fantastic!! i’m not sure what bought on the awfulness but so happy it has gone. Its friday and i am not even bothered by it - actually looking forward to the weekend and sleeping in, planting some seedlings and spending some time outside. My smaller work pants kind of fit, they are tighter than they use to be but getting there - hopefully by this time next week they should be comfy. i have backed off the juice and upped the MC lemonade which is working at the moment, i started laxs again last nite and had no bad effects so its not them that ... read more
- Day 1620 mon
- not feeling so great
Last nite has possibly been the worse i have felt so far this fast. I came home from work very low energy and feeling sick in the stomach. I know i didnt have enought juice so made some mc lemonade with extra agave to get some calories into me. Felt a bit better but could not go for a run or walk - struggled all nite with feelings of wanting to quit because i just felt so bad. When i tried to go to sleep i had the most awful sensation wanting to escape my body..very weird it was both emotional and physical with my hands and feet tingling. Managed to fall asleep and woke feeling pretty ordi ... read more

- Yahoo third milestone reached
Very glad the halfway mark has been reached - 15 more to go! visit the page
- Day 13 & 1420 mon
- A little reflection
Two weeks in and i am feeling pretty good. My energy levels go up and down, i am getting pretty sick of the juices so might need to add the mc lemonade this week. I know i will make to the end just no chance of quitting now, but it would be nice if i felt a little better. I have not weighed myself which i am pretty happy with, previous fasts i have been obsessed with the weigh ins. I know the weight is going so that is enough. best thing about that is going to the cupboard and being able to fit into more and more things every day. To give some idea i am down a complete dress size. Sunday ... read more
- Day 10 , 11 & 1220 mon
- Just getting on with it all
Thursday i woke up better still not great but better. I ran 3 miles without stopping so that was good. Weight is coming off slowy but i can feel it moving. Friday i was worried a bit about the weekend - i am not breaking this fast that i am certain of but it just not easy on weekends. Made it thru, walked around the little lake and did some weights sit ups and push ups. Slept great last nite and today just taking it easy my legs are really sore. I have exercised every day since starting so not a bad idea to give myself a day of rest. I am still only juicing fruit juices lots of water and h ... read more
- Day 7, 8 & 920 mon
- Long post - lots to say as usual
Things are going well today is day 9 and I am definitely feeling better, stronger in myself and very determined to make it. Last night was the first time I felt a bit hungry so I am obviously not having enough juice. I am mostly drinking water all day, juice at lunch time and then juice at dinner time with herbal tea after that if I feel like it. I thought I would have introduced MC lemonade by now but so far I am not sick of the juice so sticking with it. If it aint broke don’t fix it! I have fallen into my fasting routine, wake up go to work, come home for lunch juice, back to work, fini ... read more
- Day 620 mon
- Still not quite at the good bit
Terrible nites sleep, a pattern I have established in previous fasts seems to be happening again. I try to go to bed at a decent time lay there for hours cannot get to sleep finally fall asleep early hours of the mourning and then cant get out of bed til mid mornings…arghhh. I need to break this obviously for work this week but also hate been awake when I want to be asleep and asleep when I want to be awake. Feeling very distant still, very protective of myself..this is strange. I started the herbal lax’s last nite in form of tea…seems to be working fine. One of my least favorite things ab ... read more
- Day 520 mon
- First milestone accomplished
Woohoo first milestone made it thru Friday nite!!! Feeling very proud of myself. Idid have to shut myself in my room and watch a movie on the laptop avoided all around me. I feel very distant from everyone, just feeling very fragile. Anyway today played tennis with the family and then went for a walk, we have something to go to tonight but I am not worried. I feel a pretty strong resolution in myself that I am going to do this. But still one step at a time. Still juicing oranges and drinking water. Family is cooking a bbq as I type but feel a bit better about it today. I think because I ma ... read more
- Day 420 mon
- Emotional roller coaster
Sleeping has improved but still waking up but getting back to sleep really easily. Let myself go too long without juice today and lack of calories/sugar whatever drove me crazy, lost control cracked the absolute shits and thru things in the dishwasher…then went and bawled my eyes out. The roller coaster ride of emotions. Went for a walk/run around big lake ran a bit so felt better. Then had some time on my own at home which was needed. Just finding it very hard being around family, cannot cook or shop or be in kitchen when food is going on. Other fasts I have been able to do this but this ... read more
- Day 320 mon
- Ramping up the exercise
A bit better sleep but still not great, still on freshly squeezed oranges and water. Today at work the guys had knock off beers – I had to get out of there as quick as I could. Good thing I went for a walk around little lake and actually jogged a bit..ran about ¾ of it none of the hills though. Whoo hoo wasn’t putting any expectations on myself regarding running this week so glad I gave it a go on my own without planning it. visit the page
- Day 220 mon
- Let the detox begin
Not such a great nite sleep but too be expected today I am feeling very vulnerable like I want to take myself away somewhere safe and do this not around food and family and temptation. Feeling lots of anger and now I am directing it at others. Walked around big lake today which helped a bit. Orange juice again today and water and herbal tea, not hungry just getting thru it. Some detox with pain in the neck and back, disgusting white tongue…arghh the memories. visit the page
- Day 120 mon
- Gotta start somewhere
Well I started, this is the day I had ear marked as the start and every bit of me wants it to be yesterday…very uneventful day feeling fragile, scared, threatened…but glad I have started. I am juicing oranges at the moment and lots of water. Not hungry just full on my anger at myself for letting myself get this bad! Walked around the little lake visit the page
- Back in the saddle!20 mon
- time to juice again!
Well juicing saddle that is – time to give it another go, aiming for 30 but will go one day at a time. I have tried twice this year to juice, the first time got to four days and then yes Friday nite hit and it all went out the window. Next attempt didn’t even make it thru one day which in all of my 5 ½ years of juicing is the worst attempt I have ever made! So basically I feel like this has to work or I have to accept the fact that I am no longer able to do it. I will be disappointed with myself if I don’t make it, the hardest thing will be admitting that I no longer have the strength and ... read more

- second milestone acheived yahoo!!!
woo hoo made it to day 10 and 1/3 of the way thru! I have lost access to my previous blog - bit bummed about it but my own fault! so hopefully people will still be interested in following me on this one - if not that is fine too its more for me to be accountable and have an account of my fasts. i have kept a diary of the last 10 days so i will post soon. Today i woke up very tired and feeling very unwell - drained. I think it may have been the lax tea or maybe i just need a bit of a rest day. Not sure. Feeling a bit better after a few BM’s so prob just detox. Not fun though, just felt real ... read more
