Hello all! New member here, looking forward to cleansing and experiencing a higher level of health, and quality of life, as you are trying to do also.
For the past five years, I've had a relatively sedentary job, compared to the more physically active jobs I had through most of my career. I've tried to compensate by working out harder, and have tried to watch my diet, but through it all, I've watched around 80 additional pounds get packed on during that time.
I first learned about cleansing a couple of years ago, but this is my first formal, guided cleanse. By taking herbs, psyllium powder, and raw fruit and vegetable juices, combined with giving up coffee and meat products for the most part, I've dropped about 25 pounds during the past two months. This has inspired me to continue deeper cleansing for real, and that is why I'm here. I'm feeling much better, and am looking forward to continuing with the group towards better health.
It looks like I probably won't be able to take any time off soon from work, so I'm trying to figure out how to manage juicing etc., during the seven day fast. I've been taking freshly made juices in a thermos bottle, but I read here somewhere that the life span of enzymes is only about 20 minutes after juicing. It seems like the juice would still be better than most anything else, except maybe for distilled water. How have others managed this situation? It would not be practical for me to bring a juicer into work et cetera, in my present circumstances. I've figured out a way to bring and take the herbs and the shakes, so maybe it's not really that big of an obstacle.
Anyway, I'm thrilled to be here. Best to all of you on your individual journeys! Oh, by the way, I'm male, and in fairly good health otherwise. I do get stressed occasionally, but not usually from work. My biggest stress comes from bumper to bumper traffic, machines that don't work properly, including computers, and people who don't do what they say they will when they have made commitments to others. Other than that, I'm a pretty easy going guy, but am very capable of being firm when necessary! Fairness and reasonableness are kind of my guiding principles not only in business, but in personal relationships too; and let's not forget respect, courtesy and good manners!
Well, thanks for having me.....that's all for now!
