O.k I am totally not giving up now even though this is really REALLY hard. Did I say hard, oh yeah its hard. I did not anticipate how hard this would be, I know der!!!! This man who juices for 60 days straight has no kids or wife and even if he did I am sorry he is a MAN need I say anymore? I mean I am sure if I could just piss off to America and travel around with a crew of people who are totally independant and can look after themselves, drink juice and chill, well this would be a whole lot easier. Fact is I have 4 people who depend on me for their every meal breakfast, lunch and dinner and sometimes a nice dessert. So here I am sucking it up, putting on a brave face and making them sausage rolls and brownies while I sip away on my green juice. I would really rather be meditating in a quiet corner of my garden but no I am washing dishes and preparing foodie goodness for my loved ones. I no complain. No scrap that I complain. And to make matters worse I just recieved my blood test results which I need regularly due to the polymyalgia and all the meds I am taking. And well I have almost no iron and no D and my sluggish thyroid has decided to spit it too and is down. Way to go thyroid just when I really need you to work, you know since you control my bloody metabolisim and all it would be lovely for a change if you just for once fired up and did something? Wait what was I talking about my husband or my thyroid hehehehehe just kidding hes ok but the thyroid can go JUMP. For a minute there I contemplated chucking it all in (the juice that is LOL). But I realised that this test was done well before I began this juicing challange. I was eating a full diet of meat and veg and fruit and I still ended up anemic? I have found this to be a common thing with me constantly struggling to keep these essential vitamins at reasonable levels. Maybe its because I have Colitis which was previously thought to Coeliacs disease, stupid dumb arse Drs not checking things out properly in the first place. Anyhoo sorry for that little grumpy spat, but thats how its going to be for a while I think due to the detoxing and re-directing of my mind and body towards a healthier way. Perhaps being undiagnosed for so long has left my poor bowel with irriversable scarring which just may be in the area where these vitamins get absorbed? Its all good, I will go back to supplaments again and succumb to the fact that I need to remain on them indefinately. One thing is for sure I am not I repeat NOT chucking it in this time. I know this will be good for me and already I am seeing some slight improvements. A skin condition which has plagued me ever since I got the polymyalgia flared up in September of last year. A patch on my arm has remained unhealed since then. Finally it is healing? Could this juicing theory be right. Could my body be responding to this digestive holiday? I think it could be and I am not going to be the one to stop it from doing all this good work. Hopefully with time I can reverse the bigger stuff too and wean off the prednisone for the first time in 6 long years. Oh to be able to live without painful stiff sore muscles, I can only dream for now............We will see...............
