2 WEEKS DOWN, 4 WEEKS TO GO
It’s hard to believe, but we have accomplished 2 weeks of completely vegan eating with daily juicing, and we haven’t dropped dead yet! Going into this I wasn’t sure about our ability to be completely vegan. I figured that we would likely cheat at least a little, but we haven’t. Tonight, we will weigh in…

LUCKY NUMBER 13
Today is our 13th day on this program and with few exceptions we have stuck to our plans. I like the number 13. I’m not superstitious so that number does not bother me that way. My birthday is October 13th – I was actually born on Friday October 13th! I’ll leave the year up to…

THE DAY AFTER
Do you ever have a really bad day and then, the next day, when looking back on it, hate what you see? I call it the day after. In many ways yesterday was wasted on bad moods, tense moments and saying/hurting those around you. No real arguments or other painful events took place, but just…

DISCOURAGEMENT HAS REARED IT’S UGLY HEAD!
I woke up this morning very down and discouraged. While there have been some very good minor improvements in Tiff’s, and mine health, there have not been any big changes yet. I have read many testimonies of people who have adapted this lifestyle and most of them claim big changes in the first 7-10 days. …

PICNIC ANYONE?
Today we went on my first picnic of the season. It was windy, but otherwise nice. We prepped ahead of time and had tomato sandwiches on whole grain bread with veganase (plant-based mayo), guac, sprouts and mixed greens. It was delicious, and very filling. We had some berries and jicama along with it. It was…

STRESS IS AN ISSUE TO BE DEALT WITH
Our day began with stress. Hannah is having car trouble and this has led to her having much stress. When a person has stress it never stays with just the person who is under this stress – they always share. Stress is an interesting thing. It is defined as “pressure or tension exerted on a…

BUSY, BUSY DAY
Today has been a very busy day for Tiff and I. Today’s blog will be on the short side because I’m not even getting to it until 7:30 in the evening. We had both a good and bad day. We went to a Farmer’s market and got a great find on good organic juicing carrots,…

TODAY IS THE 1 WEEK MARK
At the end of today we will have accomplished 1 week – yeah! Tiff and I just got back from our morning walk and we made it longer than the 10 minute goal – yeah! We have eaten only vegan food for the entire time and are feeling better overall. Beginning tomorrow we are taking…

A MIRACLE HAS OCCURRED
When I came out of my room this morning, I witnessed a miracle! Tiff was up, dressed and in the kitchen preparing to make today’s freshly extracted juice. Many of you will not understand why this is a miracle so I will try to explain. Tiff and I both are extremely lazy – as a…

ROUGH START TO TODAY
This morning, I woke up after a restless night’s sleep – a rough start to my day. I began my day in prayer, actually more like crying out in prayer. I feel so weak where food is concerned, and I need to be strong! My prayer time was rejuvenating. My good friend Kathy sent me…
