Happy Healthy New Year to you!

2009 was a year full of energy and action however I wanted to share with you how I created even more energy 2010 already!

Back in November, Allan Kleynhans recommended that I try Jason Vale, The Juice Master. I argued that many people aren’t really sure what is healthy and what with so many mixed messages from the media etc! Anyway the Monday 28^th December I popped out purchased ‘Juice Yourself Slim’, which I’d like to add here that it should be called ‘Juice Yourself…… Healthy, lower cholesterol or lower blood pressure…… or Juice Yourself to more Energy’, as many people like me do not undertake this 7 day programme for slimming reasons!

The book is very different to any other slimming book, it focuses on attitude and mindset rather than just what you are putting into your mouth, it is about what you are putting into your mind! I couldn’t put the book down and I’d finished by 30^th December and was already running down to Tesco to buy a juicer and all the ingredients for the 7 day launch programme! The books great, it even gives you a shopping list for the 7 day programme which you can download from the website too, love it when people make things simple for you! If like me you want to skip to the back of the book and start juicing straight away then you’ll be in for a little surprise, you need to read the whole book before starting, hence why I read it in 3 days as I was eager to get going!

When I got to Tesco to buy all the fruit and vegetables, all which we easy to find and in stock! The Checkout Assistant said ‘Wow, this is a healthy shop, not very often you see this!’, which shocked me a little to say the least!

Throughout the 7 days I absolutely loved spending the time preparing the juices, smoothies and soup, it was quite relaxing! I rarely had all five of the recommended number of liquids per day, I often had 3 or 4, I just wasn’t hunger! You’ll be surprised how full you feel. It actually made me wonder where all the food goes when you have a 3 course meal, how does it all fit in! In the first 5 days I did miss using a knife and fork, I know its totally a random comment and its all in the mind, I just laughed at myself! My favourite smoothie is ‘Fruity Bio-live Breakfast Smoothie’, yum yum and I’ve been having it everyday for breakfast since, simple and yummy (oh yeah and healthy). I went about life in terms of work and social life in my normal way, sometimes I made the drinks the night before and would take them in a flask! After 7 days of juicing, I needed less sleep, had lower stress levels, bigger smile on my face and bags more energy! Everyone should give it ago! See the results for yourself and it will change your future!

I love the way Jason words it ‘It’s called self help because you help yourself!’ Sometimes we are waiting for someone else to do it for us and it’s not going to happen. I always wonder what stops us from achieving whatever it is that we want to achieve and I always come back to fear or ignorance! Whether it is baby steps or giant steps you are taking, as long as you are taking steps then you are heading in the right direction for you. I remind myself everyday that this is my journey and therefore I am the one steering both the direction and the speed.

Love, Magic & Adventure

p.s. – I must share this with you also…..

I manifested a headache the night before I started the juicing also. Two people had mentioned that I might get headaches either day 2 or 3 of the 7 day programme! I thought about this so much that I manifested a headache the night before I even started the programme and not even a twitch of a headache during the 7 days…… how funny!
