I have been juicing and mixing it with a bit of food. Since I went to France I have been out of my rythm.
I have been capturing alot of my story but failed to write it down. This week is my last straight line so we will see what will happen.
I have been enjoying losing weight. At least not being so puffed. I still have a journey to travel but I love to see my baggy pants.
Yesterday was my daughter 9 birthday. It's crazy how time fly. My small baby is now a growing young lady.
For her school birthday treats guess what we did... Alot of Fruits!
Whenever you are busy eating fruits you want everybody to eat fruits. So we made a great fruits salade for all her class. She was so happy.
If she could she would have bring our juicer to school and made a juice for all her classmate.
What do you do for school treat? Are you going for the healthy or the easy one fast and done?What do you give to the classmate of your children on their birthday?

It's funny how things can unfold. I have been aware of juicing for a year now. The first time I did it, I was discovering everything. How much quantity a week I was in need of. How much money would go into it.... The adventure was awesome. I was so passionate about that I got my mom and two sisters into it. Today my younger sister has lost more than 25 kilos. Her skin looks beautiful.
She is shining.
She is a true encouragement for all of us. She constantly sends me articles or videos to watch and stay motivated. She was the one to give me the tip for the facebook support group.
Still though this past month I have seen different things happening in me. It was so much harder. I was still doing the same thing but as soon as I had a little bit of change then I will be thrown off.
I'm scattered, tired...
I have been fighting my eating habits. What never been a problem seem to be such challenge. CRAZY!!!
Still though I want to stick to it. I love the idea to keep on putting more life in me. I love it. I'm growing into it so that I can be 100% for a long period of time.

Perseverance is the key. I could be so discouraged and stop and eat what I want but I believe that juice fasting is the best thing for all of us.
I'm looking forward to show a picture before after. I'm not sure when it will be but I will do it.
So make sure to stay posted!

My daughter Maelle is an inspiration. She has been playing SPARK with us. She had to pray for somebody that was being bullied. Right away she thought about a young boy Gideon in her class. She prayed for him, and decided to invite him to her birthday party.
He was not present the day that she was giving out the invitation so it was a GREAT surprise to find an invitation on his desk. WOW he was so happy. He said it's my first invitation to a birthday party. It's too bad I have to go to another school it's my first and my last.
The teacher was also so touched by it.
I was so grateful that I was able to witness that moment. I was just supposed to help Maelle with a birthday snack and now I could see the impact of the SPARK challenge on a little boy who has been bullied most of his life.
So special. I know that for many it is so normal and see the SPARK challenge more like a game where they forget to actually play.
They may feel that they are too busy for it. I still keep on wondering how can we be too nusy impacting the life around us?
I'm grateful! I pray that more will take on the challenge to step out of their comfort zone and SPARK on!

Nice juice! Orange, pineapple, mango and ginger and lemon.
One word for this recipe... Delicious!
When ever I'm not doing great in my juicing to go back to a 100% juice diet, i treat myself with great juice. I have been enjoying mango juice. My discovery is that green mango are the best mango to juice. They seem to be like apple. They may be dried but the taste is still present. Lovely!
I fill my glass to the maximum and savour it. The only down from my point of you is the after taste of pineapple on my tongue. After a while it burns my tongue.
It's a little disconfort my so worth it.
I have been sharing few recipes. So I'm looking forward to know if you have been trying some of them. If yes let me know what you think? Maybe let your children taste them and share with us what they thought.

SPARK is in our heart. Our family loves to SPARK people.
This month we are intentionally letting our light shine in our circle of friends and family.
One of my challenge was to give a pack to our postman. It was quite funny because i thought we could play more than once but it took me the whole week to come up with something to do. I didn't know what to give the postman what do you give to your postman. I was blank. Until I pray about it and ask God. I ended up buying a set of cool and sharpe knifes for him.
He came to our door with the package and one of our neighbor that was not home. The time that he was doing the necessary about the package of our neghbor that was not home I quickly open the box to give him his pack. For the past 7 years he has been our postman so it was really cool to be able to thank him like that. It was so shock. So surprise and so grateful. I had ordered two so when the postman was looking for assurance that it was well for him I cool show him the second identical box. It was a priceless moment.
I was so happy that somehow it works out great. My kids were there watching and being so happy with me. It impacted their heart and now they are great SPARK ambassadors.

Few years ago (2012) we have introduced SPARK to our church. A moment we take apart to let our let our light shine intentionally.
We will do different activities to love on our city. It was great. This year was different. We felt that instead to reach out to our city we thought about reaching to our own circle of influence. We created a game inspired from the goose board game.
On every case we will have a challenge. Last week was our first time to start our SPARK challenge.
My husband had do to something for our local store. Which was cool. He bought for all the staff delicious things. When he was done paying at the cashier he asked to see the store manager to end it out the things he had just bought. This was such a shock for the whole team.

I will share next time what my daughter has done for SPARK.
She is her little inspiration.

Maybe you do not know about SPARK but still you want to share with the world the great things God has been doing in your life. Let your light shine! What have you been doing to bring your light into the world?

I have notbeen juicing ALOT because my daughter has been the one juicing... She has been such a blessing for us. Last Sunday she was the first one home and decided to get our lunch ready. A piece of bread and a juice so nice. Yesterday we had the teacher of Maelle coming over and she made one for her teacher. She was so impressed.
I was very intentional to reinforce it.

What are you passing down to your children? What arethegreat habits that youwould like your children to have?
Years ago I had heard a verse that has been with me ever since.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. (3 John 1:4)

To me this verse captures what is in my heart. I have no greater joy than to know that my kids will be moving forward kicking the devils plan and on top be healthy
So what about you? What are you passing down?

One thing that I do enjoy is to go to the farm and buy new fruits and veggies. Lately I have been drink alot more juice than veggies. Tome it was great to stay in track because sometime the taste of green isjust that GREEN! So it's nice to be able to enjoy all this bright color from applegrenate to nice yellow mango juice. Plus in top of that it is delicious in my mouth and for my body.

I use to spend around 20 Euro every week but lately I have been intentional to let my children drink some juice and I also send them to school with much fruit and veggies than before.
Which means that I have seen my bill also increase of 20 bucks.
I comfort myself by saying to be healthy has no price.
Few days ago I was with a friend of mine that I only see time to times... We were having lunch together. I have not been telling her that I was juicing but to my surprise she was only eating a fruit salade and drinking a fresh pressed orange juice.
Sometime we don't know why people look great. To me it became even clearer that we are what we eat. My friend is a beautiful young lady and now it was obvious why... She may not be juicing but she definitively aware of what enter her mouth.
I'm learning big time. Still though it was great to leave motivated again.
How are you doing? It's seem that when summer time approach it's easier to eat more green and fruits. Is it true also to you?
How does your eating habits change when the wether is getting warmer?Let us know

My faaavvoorrrrrrrritttttttteeeeeeeee for now LOVE IT!

Mango, organge, yellow pepper and ginger DELICOUS

TOmorow my husband is coming so I will let you know if he thinks I have lost weight.

I have decided to not step on the scale doing this juice fast. I have noticed that some of my clothes are getting a bit baggy but nothing spectacular. I still have many clothes upstair that I could put on if I had lost a size or two but nothing yet. NO worry I moving toward this beautiful problem.

The reason I have chosen to avoid the scale was not to make a fixation on my weight. I know that juicing work. SO I want to be patiente and put my old jeans. I want to feel good in my skin not weight a certain weight. I honestly don't care.

How is it for you?

Let me know what you do? Are you into detoxing or fasting?

I love juicing!!! I love putting the best food in me. My body loves it too. I enjoy the fact that my body is being transformed for the best. I have more energy. I am sharper in my thoughts.

Today I try a new recipe.

5 Carrots, 4 oranges, 1 peache, 1 sweet potatoe, 1 stuck of ginger

It was delicious. I wish I had put onlu half of the sweet potatoe to not have the after taste of the earth/ground in it. I love the fine touch of the peache too. So delicate!

Ever since I have been working on my juice fast I have become even more aware of what I give to my children. It's insane how much proscess food I can give them. I will have to do some more research to be able to give them GREAT substitues. By example for the bread, or pasta...

What do you give your children? I know that they are not good but what is out there that is available.

I have make up my mind I will bring a juicer in Uganda and juice as much as I can there. I am looking forward to have new recipe. I will keep you all posted.

Yeah it's exciting because I'm doing great on my juice fast. I have been failing so often that it's great to say YEAH! I have only juiced today. My body is feeling great. I have alot of energy. And I feel that I can go on for a bit now.
I love to see my daughter coming back from school and making her own juice.
She doesn't love to clean up but I love the fact that she is putting great food inside of her. She willbejuicing when she gets older. That's the best thing ican pass to my kids.

I have learnt to keep my juicer on my counter which has made it becomes a part of our family. We all use it. If you want yourkids to eat more veggies juice them. My husband has been using more fruits to mask the taste of some veggies and win them all over. They would all ask to have a zip.

Only for the kids though for us its better to use ALOT of green. I heard once a lady give the ratio 2/3 of veggies for any piece of fruit. Hope it helps...
Juice on!

I saw a friend of mine who has lost 25 kgs. She looks beautiful!
I ask her what she was doing and she said nothing. What do you mean with nothing? Well in fact she use to be at home for the last 10 years. She was a great help and support for me and my family.
So by moving and having a clear schedule she lost 25 kgs. WOW!
The other day I was reading about the transition to step into a juice fast. I so wish I would have knew that information before...
When you plan to do a juice fast it's importantto slow down on eating food. The things with food is that when it gets in us we diggest it and then we are hungry. The hunger in us make it challenging to face a juice fast.
In fact during a juice fast after 2 or 3 days the hunger stop. At this point we can go on and on juicing.

Knowing this information I would have never ate someof the stuff I ate in my road of juicing.
I thought that the impact was not great but now I understand why it was so hard to keep on juicing.
Now I know so its different.
My sister is a great help. She keeps on sending me great link to videos and articles. I love that! It's so inspiring.

Love the summer I have plenty of new fruits which mean plenty of new recipes...
This summer we are going to Uganda I'm seriously thinking of buying myself a juicer to keep on juicing... I will keep you posted!

I'm doing great. I'm definitively in a row. Right now I feel like doing new recipes. So I did one! For the first time I have used rasberry. Hmmmm! So good :) I love the taste and the smell of them. I find it super expensive though because I had to use 2 small buckets to have a little bit of juice.
Still I was able to have alot.

2 small buckets rasberry
2 oranges
2 small pears
2 carrots
1cucumber

Normally I always put menth and ginger so I had to get use to a clear tast. If I had ice cube it would have been even better.
I would love to encourage you to try out and if you have a recipe share it with me in the comment.

WOW! Today was a great day. I feel like I went over my bump. I found it easy to just drink juice. I do treat myself with great juice. And yes I did have AGAIN my new favorite juice. It was delicious.
I went to read few post on a juice fast support. It's good to see that I was not the only one who had to start forever their first day. I guess it was a sort of transition. Every day I juice I clean my temple.
I think if you are on your own then its way more easy. You are not tempted by cooking for your family and above all giving nice snack to your kids.
I do have a new recipe. I call it Pear Delight.
Somehow I was able to buy small pear in my green store this week.

So here is the recipe.
6 small pears
1 apple
2 celery sticks
2 handful of spinach
half a lime
2 cm of ginger
3 branches of menth (take only the leafs)
1 cucumber

Oh it was really a pear delight. My younger son kept on asking me to have a try. I surely don't mind. I love how my kids are watching me juice. I know that they will also juice with their family.
Now my goal is to drink enough water. Today I will ill my 1L and make sure I only drink from it.
I'm convinced that if I watch that I drink my water then I will take care 70% of the solution to my situation. 70% because we are made of 70% o water :)
How are you doing?
Are you planning to juice? If the thought is in your mind make sure that you eat raw in your transition.
You will feel great after a week, When you are on keep pressing in. Read blog and watch video of people who juice. To juice in a world of process food is a true challenge. But if so many have been doing it we can too.

So I have a new favorite I will share with you the recipe. one word, delicious!!!
My neighbor is struggling with allergies so I have encouraged him to join me. I hope it does it. It will be a great story to share.
My daughter has been asking me to get her some lime because she wats to do her juice.
She is great get posted she will share her recipe. Today we watch the kids Menu and she got even more inspired. It's not a kid movie.Its way to information but it was great for them to know again how good fruits and veggies are or them.

I love how other people out there are also into healthy eating it is so inspiring... thank you all!

Sometime you wake and you feel great. It's like in your head everything has fallen in places. I woke with such great new hope today. I feel like God has given me a divine energy drink. I feel ready to face the world. I have a clear understanding of what is at stake. What use to slow me down or block me to do my vision and mission are not so huge obstacles. For me it happends when I start my day right. When I do the first things first. In my case is spending time with God. Inviting him to do his will in my life. Telling him what is in my heart and inviting him to join me.
I honestly believe that everything is spiritual. Everything is connected to the unseen. Thankfully I know and have access to God who controls the unseen.
I have been enjoying my juice fast I still have 20 days to go.
Today I had no juice but ended up by the store... That was to make sure I will keep moving forward and it works :)

78 days of blogging and loving it! I had to do a redo of my favorite juice.

Carrot, oranges, ginger, lime and sweet potatoes. This time I only used half of a sweet potatoes, It was a much better taste. I didn't feel the potatoes after taste. I feel my pants are getting big... I truly need a belt. I'm not complaining it's a nice problem to have. I have been in a fruity mood. For dinner my daughter did a strawberry appel juice. Maelle is the best with juicing. She is awesome definitively a future healthy eater and blogger. I love my princess.

She made a movie on making a juice... I will ask for permission to post it

I have been doing great.Yesterday I had made all my juice in advance because I knew that I had a busy weekend. And I did great. At the conference they had fried fish for everybody. I didn't touch any of it. I was there sipping my strawberry juice. It didnt bother me. For dinner I was home and had my favorite juice for dinner but sadly it had turned. Yes the fruits in it had become disgusting. I was too tired to make a juice so I grabbed a corn from the table. My juice ended up to be poured in the kitchen sink.

It was a waste of time of juice and money.Juice is great to repair everything inour body that doesn't fonction properly. My sister has sent mea great article that I wouldlike to share with you. It talks about the benefice of juice fasting with the 5 phasesof deteoxication broke down.

Read it and be inspired. From the diabetes or cancer, the body can heal himself. Read the article for yourself and leave me a comment about your feelings on it.

I am back on track!!! Today I had a great day juicing.It feels great.
For sure to make my juice first thing in the morning helps big time. Then to watch videos of people who are also juicing or doing raw eating is inspirng and motivating.For the last 10 years
I have been aware that my body didn't handle right candy. If I eat any in the next 5mns I will have a dip. If I'm reading a book I will literally fall asleep. You will think that I would stop taking them at all cost. I should! I went through few detox but looking at my last few days and craving still have to work on it.
I have also notice that bread is alsonot working for me. Actually bread, pasta, rice I try to not eat.The gluten in it does not for me. It constipates me. Salt makes me blow up. All the oils make me fater.
It's not so much for the line but simply live longer and be healthy.
I want another great day like this tomorrow.

Here is a picture of my delicious dinner that I had to let taste to my tribe... And they approved it too. My daughter is a queen at juicing. I'm considering to switch them to raw eating... How is it for you? hat doyougive toyour kids? My kids are pro to know their green and drink them what about you?

If I had to title this blog post then I would call it ZERO simply because even though I did juiced I blew it out with all the other stuff I ate. Sorry! This is again anoying. I need to tap on theother side but I think I'm tired. Don;t ask why because I don't know.

Today I didn't do a thing even though I have alot to do. I have a small booklet that's waiting on me to me corrected. Grrr!! I need to snap out of this stupid mood.

Maybe I miss my hubby too though? Well I do but its no reason.

I need to get with the program really

My kids are the ones telling mom you should not eat that or that you have to juice. I love my kids. They awesome. Today I chill with my boys because Maëlle was at a birthday party holding snacks you read it right SNACKS!!!!! Nasty lol

Anyway I started so right and then somehow I mess up. Today I promisse to write an awesome blog post how I had such a great day juicing the crazy thing is that I LOVE JUICING

Have a great day and stay posted to read my blog.

I smile because his blessings are new every day and when you fall just get back up again

I have been having many craving today well the last few days and somehow I didn't put it togethere. I kept on failing miserably on my juice fast. I had enough juice to keep me strong the whole day and still ended up failing. Only now I have understood why... I am in this time of the month. I'm glad I realize it because for me then green juice will not cut it. And guess what today I only had made... green juice lol
I need some serious sweet juice in these special days toget me through it. Hopefully your aredoing better and you don t have the visit of your ladies

I think I have unconsctiently put my fast on pause... I do not like to be out of my rythm. Of course I love a day off but it also throw me off.
I'm learning to choose life. It's a big challenge for me. I love healthy food. I time I just don't want to bother to make it for me.
Years ago I heard one of my husband's cousin to say that she loved to learn that we were the temple of the Holy Spirit. She became a cook! She was not even chretien. Somehow that even marked me.
Then my sister kept on saying when we put more life in then more life comes out. The more fruits and veggies we eat the more healthy we will be. I train myself to choose life.
I think that all that convenient food make my life easy but it's not true. It makes us sick. Often there is too much sugar.
My body needs the best fuel. Not the junk food kind. I remember how they used to tell us that we should eat at least 5 pieces of veggies or fruits now they are saying that it's between 7 to 13. WOW!

I want to live long. So I get right back on my juice diet. It's good in my mouth and in my body. Real food, clean food, God's food.

There is all the nutrients we need in it. No gluten, potatoe starch corn and suggar are not good for us... Some of us are still hungry after eating so much because our body crave all the nutrient.
Choose life! Ok let me be the first that say I choose life!

2016-05-15T14:24:00.002-05:00

WOW time is going fast now... 30 days to go and we will hit our 100 days.
It's been awesome to pick up writting. I have always enjoyed writting. Now I could discipline myself to do it for 71 days few more days and I could proudly say 100 :)
Yeah ya!
My juice fast was horrible today I guess after my weekend I was just tired and didn't want to do the effort to make a juice. So obviously I didn't. I wonder when does it get easy. I often think about juice fasting if somebody would do all the juicing for me. How could would it be?
I'm not sure it's the solution because there is such person I am that person.
No body else has the responsibility to make my own juice than me.
For the last few days that I was actually following up my juice fast I have lost 3 kilos. So juice fast for weight lost is actually very effective. I would definitively encourage you to do one if you are planning to loose weight before the summer.
I definitively feel better. My skin is still acting up.
Even though I miss a day like today I stillplan to keep up with it. I love fast juicing because it make me feel better lighter. I have a clear mind and I am fill of creativity.
I feel closer to God and unstoppable. So heck yeah I will keep on juice fast even when this challenge is down.
Have a great day
Be bless
