The Missing Link

The Missing Link

I’m getting back on track on my journey to health. I’ve had two unsuccessful attempts with juice fasting but I’m not giving up. I actually found the missing link and sort of the answer as to why I have been unsuccessful. I guess it’s the fact that I immediately jump into juice fasting without really preparing for it through a ‘transition’ period. This has often left me ‘unprepared’ for a long juice fast and thus explains why my fast only lasts for 5-9 days ( and that includes the cheat days..LOL!).

Anyways, as I’ve read a lot of articles and posts from people who have been successful with this. I realized that they do have 3 days to 10 days transition period. So for example if they do a 30 day fast, they have 7-10 days transition period before the fast and this means they just eat raw food during this time or they do juice for 2 meals a day.

So, here is my plan, I’m going to do a 1 week transition period or preparation period ( which I started this MOnday) , and then proceed to a straight 30 day juice fast ( yes, I’m making it 30 days now…) and then another 7 days post-fast period by juicing two meals a day and 1 regular meal.

Here is my schedule:

October 24- 30- Transition/Prep period : 2 Juice meals a day and 1 regular meal

October 31- November 29- 30 Day juice fast

November 30-December 6-  Post fast : 2 juice meals a day

That’s a total of 1 and a half months!… If I would only be consistent with this plan of mine and not give up. I’m sure there will be a lot of changes in my health and physical body. Oh, I’m looking forward for the weight loss part. I might be even tempted to search best online shopping sites  to get a new wardrobe. Oh well, I have to lose weight first before I think of that…

No More Floods, Please!

No More Floods, Please!

I clearly remember how we were last year when we had flooding in our city. Thankfully, there are no floods this year, although it has affected so much of the other parts of Thailand—the North, North East, and Central part of the country particularly.

There have been warnings of flooding this year so my family and I have gotten ourselves ready for weeks already. It’s always best to be prepared than sorry, right? People who think about what happened last year worry about their cars and belongings. Lucky for those who own crown metal buildings, they can keep their vehicles and important belongings there. Since we don’t have any of those, we just lifted our things up to the second level of our house and hope that there will be no flooding this year.
