Losing my voice, weight and breaking a feast

On Today's Menu:

2 quarts kale/celery/carrot

1 quart orange juice/MSM

1 quart prune water

8 oz soaked prunes

After a weekend of feeling ill and sleeping all the time, I awoke last night feeling famished. I was really, really hungry. Despite my steady intake of juices I felt like I was starving. Time to soak the prunes.

It is time to move on from my juicy adventures. I had a wonderful time and now I'm ready to bring solids back into my life.

Did I mentioned I have been coughing so hard I've lost my voice? I have a sexy, husky Demi Moore voice. I seem to remember starting my feast back in December with that same voice. I was sick with a cold then also. Strange.

I am sipping my prune water as I type this but I haven't eaten my prunes yet. I would like to do a video (a la Ms. Angela) documenting that experience. That should happen this afternoon and hopefully I'll have it posted tonight or tomorrow. It will be interesting shooting a video with no voice but we shall see. I have some ideas on that one.

I'll go into greater detail about this juice feasting process as time goes on. Truth be told I'm still kind of tired and I think I just might go take a nap.

Who knows I might sleep through this day and not take in solids until tomorrow.

Oh, yes the weigh-in. Well I tempted fate and got on the scale this morning. I hate being weighed, no matter how great you look (and feel) a number will always F*** it up for you.

Which is why I won't be weighing myself anytime soon. Once every 3 months seems to suit me. So that's the plan, next weigh-in: July. If at all.

I will let you know that during this juice feast I lost a total of 47 pounds. Not bad, not bad at all.

Fortunately, I lost it in all the right spots and got to keep my T&A, which will create a very nice photo. Oh, Keely my Diva you are absolutely right with the Cotton Club. My photo shoot is a sexy 1920s inspired theme. I can't wait.

I can't help but to thank all of you again for your continued support during this time of my life. I love you all and everything you own! ;)

Peace and love,

Terilynn

And the winners are....

Here are my five picks for Inspirational Blogger Award.

Melissa, Love Raw Life. I can't say enough about my gal pal Melissa. We are currently going through some heavy sh** together with the juice feasting. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Melissa is a talented, compassionate individual who doubles as super raw mom in her spare time.

Kristen at Kristen's Raw. She reminds me of an all-American girl. Smart, beautiful, athletic and raw. How can you do better than that?

Bob, at Legally Raw, is my thinking raw blog. His stories take you to places unexpected and forces you to take a look at things you never paid attention to before.

Keely, is a perfect combination of sass and class. She is the only lady I know that can carry the words "Raw Diva" and it fits so beautifully.

This last one I don't know the protocol for giving this award to someone who already possesses it. I know for a fact that he has received one, but he's soooo very fine and I love reading about his raw adventures around the world so I will pass along another award to him. Raw Model Anthony, this one's for you!

K.I.S.S. and Cankers on Day 48

If it's not one thing, it's another.

Everyone knows about the emotional turmoil that was my last week. Well, I am happy to report that emotionally I feel FABULOUS! Never better. Physically, I'm good. Energy level is great.

The only thing I can report is that I have not one, but two nasty, painful canker sores. Ouch!

No grapefruit/orange juice for me. So today my juice combinations will be pretty basic.

I'm taking a cue from Raw Diva Keely and Bob and go K.I.S.S. (Keep it Simple Sexy) with my consumption choices.
