My story for today:

Violet's Book Incident
Today something really great & magical happened to me. I was walking to the tram station, when my eyes spontanously looked to the left and were immidiately attracted by one book in a book store next to the sidewalk - a book that I wanted to read since I was 10-12 years old! I took the book (which was exactly the copy I wanted - an old one which is no longer available). Of course I bought it right away. And the best thing of all: the price was reduced, for it’s second hand!! And in great condition.
I ran around with this book in my arms and was so happy that I kind of jumped with every further step I took (maybe that’s why people started staring at me *lol* but I didn’t care, I was busy being HAPPY with my long desired book. Do you want to know which book we’re talking about here? It’s “A Never Ending Story” by Michael Ende. I started reading right away - and guess what - I LOVE it. *smile*

I also learned a lot more today than the days before. Still I have a lot of work to do. Yep, the books & notes are here next to me - waiting for me, the information is longing for being read and absorbed by my precious brain. ^^

I get thirsty again, so I’ll enjoy some tea.

Have a great day everybody!!

Love to all,

Violet

Day 3

2008-11-23T12:41:00.000-08:00

Hello again,
had some emotions coming up today. I'm thinking about my relationship to my (ex-)boyfriend a lot which ended in September and it made me feel sad and a little alone (the first time since we broke up, actually... Thought I was totally over it.) So I spent some time online to search some kind of comunity to join. I really want to connect with people who are on a similar path as I am right now.
Heroine searches fellow heroes/heroines :)

What I had today:
0,5 litre MSM-lemon-drink with camu camu & enzymes
0,5 litre GVJ (celery, Chinese cabbage, apple, parsley) - wasn't really good :(
1 litre Fruit Juices (grapefruit, mango, raspberries)
1 litre Veggie-Frut (carrots, Chinese cabbage, apple, pear, ginger, cinnamon)
2-3 litres tea (oO)
1 litre extra water

Total Juice Intake: 2,5 litres (2-3 quarts)
Should really drink more juice, especially greens. The thing is, frirstly I don't feel hungry and secondly 2 of my juices didn't taste as good as they could today. So, when I use greens and celery, I'll add citrus juice to it. And for the greens I'll use lettuce and spinach. I'll also replace the celery with knob celery (tastes better to me). I plan to go to the nearby park this week to pick some wild greens. :)

I'll have to buy produce again tomorrow!

Supplements:
Oxygen, Camu Camu, Spirulina, Vitamin D, DHA, Enzymes, MSM

What did I do today except juicing?
Reading
Learning
Listening to music (found some new bands I like)
Watching Videos about Raw Foods & (of course) Juice Feasting
Rebounding
Thinking
Tongue Scraping
Stretching
Deep Breathing
Phone Calls
(No, I had no enema today. ^^)

That's it for today.

Love to everybody!

Day 3

2008-11-23T04:05:00.000-08:00

Just a short update:
I don't like my GVJ - I don't like the taste of celery. Other veggies don't taste very good to me either...
And the fruit juices seem too sweet to me.

Not very happy about that.

I would love to drink only tea (tastes good & warms me up), however I know I need the calories and the nutrients... So, I'll try my best. :)

Have a great day,

Juicy Violet

Day 2

*** A Juice Feaster's Dream ***

Snow outside, Juice inside

The picture above shows one of the best things that have ever passed my mouth. It's Grapefruite/Orange/Raspberries - and I LOVE it. I really enjoyed that one... after making and drinking a not very palatable mixture: savoy cabbage/apple/parsley/zucchini/a little bit of lemon/sprouts. I added a little bit of orange juice which was OK then. Won't do that one again. I think I don't like the taste of juiced cabbage... I'll try it with lettuce then. (The problem is that lettuce is rather toxic then healthy when purchased non-organic and the organic ones are very expensive!)

By the way: have I mentioned that I don't like kale juice? *lol* Well, I've never had kale before, so maybe my taste buds have to adjust... just as they will learn to fall in love with celery because they obviously haven't yet. Cannot get much of celery juice down. Ah, it will get better ^^ I also noticed that I like the knob celery much more - and it also contains high amounts of organic sodium, so I'll buy that one for the next GVJs).

So, that was my 2nd day. I feel good. A little empty and I had a headache in the morning when I woke up, but then I took some deep breaths at the open window and drank my MSM-lemon-water, went to the bathroom AND did an enema. I also brushed my skin (felt great ^^) and took a good warm shower - that made me feel quite amazing. :)

So, there was no trouble with diarrhea or whatsoever. I also did manage to really start my learning programme for Botany - eventually. ;) Tomorrow will be a learning day as well. But I plan to take a walk in the park and breathe fresh air among the trees... ,) And maybe I'll jump onto my rebounder ^^

What I enjoyed today:
0,5 litre water + lemon juice + MSM
0,5 litre Green Juice (celery, parsley, Chinese cabbage, lemon, apple)
0,5 litre orange juice
0,75 litre Vegetable Fruit Juice (carrots, apple, pear) - was really good ^^
0,5 litre Green Juice (savoy cabbage/apple/parsley/zucchini/a little bit of lemon/sprouts) - OK, didn't enjoy that one... but:
0,5 litre "Pink Dream" - the picture above ^^ (grapefruit, orange, raspberries) - GREAT
2-2,5 litre tea (pepermint, rooibos, cinnamon) & extra water

Total Juice Intake: 2,75 litre (about 3 quarts)
Try to drink more juice tomorrow.
Although...

I really enjoy drinking tea when it's snowing outside. :)

Supplements:
MSM, Spirulina, Oxygen (for the bowel), enzymes, camu camu

My Special Programme today:
Dry Skin Brushing
Enema
Tongue scraping
Walking in the snow (just a little bit)
Deep Breathing
Writing (just a little bit)

Day 1

***Proud and satisfied***

Yes! I did it. Well, at least I managed the first day - and besides some little (newbie trouble) things it really (!) was a good day 1 for me. I’m proud of myself - and I just LoVe the “Green Sweetie” I’m just sipping - aahhh - what a great green feeling - the greens kinda calm my stressed out soul. I really should start learning for my exam in Botany… Actually, I love Botany. I’m in love with the earth’s plants and their lives. I wanna know how they function and I wanna “take a look inside” their physiology. It’s so fascinating how they produce oxygen - and how they use chlorophyll and other pigments to harvest LiGhT in order to turn the bright sun light into sugar. Wow. Love Plants.

Especially TrEeS, I adore them. I love watching them or wandering through the woods… I’m looking forward to visiting my parents and grandparents soon. They live on the open countryside. Woods and all kind of greens EVERYWHERE - and the air is so amazing there (compared to the city). However, there are many parks in Vienna. And I take a walk through one of those ideally every day. And then I take a deep refreshing BrEaTh and I’m full of gratefulness to be here on this planet. Thank you. :)

Back to the feasting: I’m visiting the bathroom QUITE frequently *lol* - but it definitely feels good to release the old stuff. Why should I hold it back? :) I also have gas, but my belly does not hurt. I had a little headache in the middle of the day, after drinking some tea and a fruit juice with some spices I felt better. I know that I need more greens. I’ll mix them with fruit and rise the amount of the greens continually - I suppose that’ll work out quite well. ,)

What I enjoyed today:
0,5 litre water + lemon juice + MSM
0,5 litre Green Juice (celery, kale, parsley, lemon, ginger, apple)
0,5 litre “Dancing Diva” (apples, lemon, ginger)
0,5 litre “Green Spice” (savoy cabbage, apple, ginger, lemon)
0,5 litre “Jelly Juice” (oranges, carrot, soaked gojis) with some spices and pure orange juice
0,5 litre “Green Sweetie” (Chinese cabbage, pear, apple, zucchini)
0,5 litre Green Juice (celery, Chinese cabbage, zucchini, apple, sprouts)
0,5 litre fennel-anise-caraway-tea
0,5-1 litre extra water

Total Juice Intake: 3 litre (about 3 quarts or a little more, I guess)

Supplements: MSM, Spirulina, Oxygen (for the bowel), enzymes, camu camu

My Special Programme today:
Enema
Tongue scraping
Walking
Deep Breathing

Watching videos on JuiceFeasting.com

How do I feel?
Satisfied, grateful, little tired, proud, optimistic.

My Juicy Journey Begins

2008-11-20T14:09:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone out there!

I'm beginning my 92 days juice feast tomorrow, 21th November 2008. I wanted to start today, however, I was so totally frustrated that my green savory juice tasted so bad that I made a salad and binged on dried fruits and nuts (which did NOT satisfy me either by the way - I am still a binge eater and I'm not proud of it). I know, I know... does not sound like a heroine's life yet. So that's what I wanna change :) I want to be the heroine in my life - still human of course (and "errare humanum est" as the Romans used to say and I still say ^^) however I try to live more - you know - conscious and more confient. Of myself, of my body's and my personal needs. Well, you have to love yourself first - before you can love other people, I guess. ,)

I'm quite excited, for I really wanna do it this time. I'm ready for the change. It feels right. It's the thing I need at the moment. I'm searching for others who are feasting at the time, for I would be definitely thankful for some support. :)

I'm in love with my life - and sometimes I seem to forget how grateful I can be actually. However, I have to say that's not THAT easy to live the life you want to in such a world. I live in Vienna, Austria, and yes, I really like the country for the beautiful landscape and the people here - but I live in the largest city of Austria right now, so... you may see the problem here ^^ but I make the best out of it. At least I try to. :)

I'll better learn about plants now, for the exam is in about 10 days and I have no idea about photosyntheses yet - I study biology at university, you see. *lol*

Have a great day,

Juicy Violet
