Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

Hi


I've been a vegan for over 10 years...
For the past 2 years I've been playing wiht raw food. going from 100%raw to 80% raw, to binging on cooked!! and everywhere in between...

I got so damb out of control with emotional eating (relationship breaking up). I decided the time was NOW to refocus and do a fast. I came across Angela Stokes blog on JUICE FEASTING...
so now...

I am on day 7 of a juice FEAST yes, a FEAST!!

I have an extended blog @ living-foods.com if you are interested.

I feel GREAT!!

I am currently training for a marathon on May 13
I taught one of my 4 weekly aerobic classes this morning
I also teach physical education

You gotta read about juice feasting!!
Go to Angela Stokes wesite, read her blog...
WHAT an inspiration!

SHe went 92 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am aiming right now at 21 days, but will definately go longer if it supports my lifestyle and my LONG LONG runs...

Will keep you posted

All the best with that feast! I want to do some sort of fast or cleanse at some point. I've had way too much processed soy and burritos over the past 10 years.

Thanks for the suggestions on where to look.

We have lots of raw people here, including a whole section dedicated to the RAW lifestyle.

Thanks for joining our group!

thank you

End of day 7!!

I ran 16k today - training for a marathon on mothers day...
I also taught a body pump class at Goodlife gym!

Energy to spare BABY!!

Juice FEASTING is WAYYY better than Juice fasting!!
Not sure if I should be writing what I eat every day -
not sure if anyone cares...


I do have a daily journal - pen and paper...

End of day 8

I taught a Spinning class tonight - I was worried I wold DIE, but it went well..my buddy personal trainer was putting a group of members through a weight circut, so I joined in! 40 minutes of weights after the spinning!!!

I'm feeling that juice BUZZ...it coursing through my muscles and veins!!!

I MUST admit I was Sore today after 2 weight lifting classes yesterday - I was so hyped that I went heavier than usual....
But how do I pass up a free circut?

I came home, had the final 8 cups of juice with the supplements and sat in a HOT tub with 4 glasses of epsom salts and AC vinegar!


Oh I am going to be sore tomorrow__
I didn;'t take any poop inducer today or yesterday because of these classes. i will take 10 oxy powder tonight - I went Poop once today - not good I suppose, but I feel good!

I am striving for day 40!!!!!!!!!!!

YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I met a runner who was 100% (not that that is my goal - I LOVE some steamed broccoli and peas and yams and will incorporate them again..

BUT he told me that his addiction to SUGAR (flour,grains) totally ended after a 40 day fast. HE said you NEED to do 40 days..

I was on rawveganbodybuilding.com and in the forum some guy posted the same thing!

He went on
15
13
and
25
day Master cleanse then BINGED on cooked....
HOLY SHIT - that is ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I am doing my best to go 40 days.....I have a marathon in a few weeks - can you imagine running it on juice!?

BUT remember I am NOT fasting!
I am consuming about 2000 calories a day and I KNOW I Have NEVER been better nourished!!!

Day 11
Bring IT!

DAY 11

I am home today easter friday

My family went to the MANDARINE!!

AN Incredible chinese buffet!!

OHHHH how I wish I could sink my teeth into the sushia nd seaweed salad!!!

If I know we would have free food at this place I would have postponed this "feast"


It's for the best I'm sure.....

I have beeen eating tbs upon tbs of freah raw bee pollen - I was a vegan now i guess I'm a beegan!

Its supposed to be incredible....tastes good....

I am cold, even though the heat's at 22 degrees..
I've been squirting out water frommy butt all day!
it's black/brownm does not smell though..

I did a salt water flush this morning in hopes of REALLY getting it going, but it did not work....what did work however were the 10 oxy powder caps (broken open) that I took last night.....

get it all out today.....I have a 5k race tomorrow!!

I just got all 4 of Angela Stokes' books - they are awesome! I'm enjoying your blog - for now I'm going to do a juice feast one day a week, haven't gotten brave enough to do more than that, but it's getting more tempting

I'm also adding in bee pollen to my smoothies so guess I'm a beegan too !!!

Here I am sipping onmy yam/carrot drink with yummu cinnamon and vanilla!!
I threw in 2 apples and have 8 cups of it!!

this really is a juice FEAST!! I am drinking between 15-20 cups of juice a day!!!!

I was bad about taking laxatives, so I hadn't pooped for a day, so Last night I decided to take things into my own hands...I ground up flaxseed made a yummy mixture with honey and ate it..

I went for a 30k run today - yes folks 30K!!!!!!!!!!!
Guess what NO Problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I came home I had the same juice I had for brekky

1/2 pineapple blended with

kale
celery

Then put through a nut mike bag to remoce the pulp

I added
E3 live
msm
in morning

E3live
chorella
after run


I waited 3 hours to make sure I assimilated it....

Then I took 15 opened caps of oxy powder. I mixed this with more flax, hemp oil and honey - made a paste - wasn't bad...


I tell ya about an hour later - LOOK OUT!!!

I was at the store aroudn the corner - I broke into a sweat - thought I was gonna pass out!!
I RUSHED home - broke the law driving - was praying a cop was not hiding anywhere...
Opened my door, threw everything down and RUSHED to the toilet -

TOUCH DOWN!!
There was the flax!!
Nice BIG poop as opposed to the usual squirts the oxy produces...and ever since, for the past 4 hours, I've been squirting every 15-25 minutes!!!

Ahhh.........

Clean it out I say!!

I hope I can teach my body pump class tomorrow...
can you imagine?!!!

Let you know

Bring on DAY 14!!!!!!!!!!

PS they say to drink your juice really slow and let it swish around in your mouth for awhile...I cannot do it long enough - in the time it took me to write this...
about 6 minutes - my juice is GONE

This is what "they" say

Who they are I don't know!


For optimum health...


Drink your food and chew your liquids

thanx monarch - i was wondering if anyone was reading...

I have a blog on living-foods.com as well...I've been writing there for awhile...

Seems more people right comments there..but its GREAT to see I am getting through!!!!

Love YA!

how long should a person "chew" each gulp of juice? - I have been practicing but cannot do it for more than 20-30 seconds....

end of day 14!!!

I taught bodypump this morning, practiced my spinning routine for 10 minutes, came home and had veggie juice....3 hours later I took 15 opened caps of oxy powder - I mixed it with ground flax seeds and honey.....

I'm at home today - easter for teachers....so I thought I'd take advantage...
The flax is all gone and I will no longer be adding any.

OHG OMG - I booked a colon irrigation session one week wednesday!!!!

YIKES - Never had it done before but now is a great time to release the layers I am softening up by fasting and oxy powdering!! I am scared - some guy putting a tube up my ass....ohthe things we do for optimum health!!

I also ordered some humaworm - it's supposed to be the BEST parasite killer EVER!!
Since I am doing this for 40 days I may as well do it right!

I am expecting it in about 3 days....will keep you posted!

I feel great - I have a few outbursts and almost started crying yesterday during one of em..emo detox I guess....

I had loads of juice today and some Raw honey...ya my junk food - but hey,I'm active right!

I hear my stomach gurggling and it feels bloated - must be the flaxseed and oxy making it's way through....cool!
