I had the most wonderful experience last week of a friend recommending something to me at the exact right time when I need it.
I'd been having the worst stomach problems. Went to the GP (he was shocked to see me as I hardly ever go). So he examined me and sent me for blood test and ultra sound, the works.
SIDE NOTE! Since I'm now 40 the GP will send me for tests without me even asking. I actually had a proper diagnosis and everything. Don't get me started on why I hate going to the GP that's just a silly rant not worth having.
Anyway! This time last week after talking to my friend about my doggy tummy. She sent me a link to sign up for +Jason Vale's 5 Day Juice Challenge. I didn't hesitate at all because I was so sick and tired of feeling sick, sluggish bloated and just plain shitty.So I jumped on it. Got myself a bog standard juicer from Argos on Monday morning and by 10am I was having my 1st Ginger Shot.
Then enjoying my first juice of the day. It was all going pretty well till about 3pm when I got a headache, that felt like some one was kicking me continuously in the head with her 5inch heels. She kept kicking throughout the night and when I woke up in the morning I was shocked that I even slept. The cool thing was I expected it because +Jason Vale has these fantastic coaching videos that talked me through what the mental and physical withdrawals would be like.
It was awesome. I pretty much keep the fact that I was doing this challenge to myself so, I didn't have to listen to any "experts". You know the "experts". When you're pregnant these "experts are filled with wise do's and don'ts. When you're on a growth journey,
going to seminars on a weekend, they tell you why they know it's a waste of time. So of course when your Juicing for 5 days they ask you stupid sh**t like "but where will you get your calcium"? or "that doesn't sound healthy". My favorite was my Cub when I picked him up from school and told him about my Juice Challenge he said very dramatically "NO WAY!! YOU'LL STARVE MUMMY" Bless him.

So I woke up the 2nd day and kept juicing. I was satisfied with the juice and even cooked for my Cub (7yr old boy) and for my friend who was staying with us, I wasn't tempted to eat at all. Like I said the juices satisfied me. They were totally delicious and there's an awesome Facebook community of people who were sharing their pictures, stories, experiences, excitement and most importantly we encouraged each other to keep Juicing On ;)The week flew by. I even drank beetroot and I HATE beetroot. It was combined with berries and other yummy fruit and I LOVED IT!!
By the end of the fifth day I was bouncing off the walls.
SIDE NOTE!! My friends who know me well, who are reading this are thinking "Your always bouncing off the walls" True!! But this was a different kinda Bounce. It was a feeling good inside and out Bounce!. It was my jeans that I used to have to squeeze into slipped on with ease, Bounce!. It was that I slept soundly an sweetly every night for 4 nights, Bounce! It was that I found a solution to an ongoing health issue without using drugs Bounce! Thank You Jason Vale and Team
So of course I bounced out of bed Saturday morning. Made my Ginger Shot, Juice in my bag and out the door with Cub for a busy sunny Saturday, feeling Fabulocious.
I watched a film Jason Vale made called Super Juice Me! It was an amazing film. He takes 8 people on an incredible journey that empowers them to take control of their health.
He's not suggesting that Juicing is the cure to all or any health problems we have in this crazy modern world of fast, processed and plastic food. He just makes a great point, with genuine passion and authenticity, that if we start putting fresh nutrients found in fruits and vegetables into our bodies on a daily basis we give our bodies what it needs to heal.
I love learning new things that just make my life better and Jason Vale's 5 Day Challenge definitely made life better. Happy Juicing ;) Check out this fab results video from our 5 Day Juicy Challenge
