Back in the saddle again

Well...I've been absent from here WAY too long....I feel I should explain to all those who have been following me. LOTS has been going on....about 2 wks ago I finally had had enough of the dizzy spells I had been having & went to the Dr to have my iron checked....sure enough it was a 5. Don't know what you guys know about that but OMG that was low...normal is 11. So I was put on ferrous pills (iron) & told to eat some red meat & lots of greens...Needless to say I haven't been straight juicing. I am not supposed to do a fast again until I get my iron checked again (tomorrow) but I started today, since it's April 1st....The plan is 30 days instead of 92. I was losing weight rapidly and didn't want to put a strain on my body to keep up. In 2 weeks, I lost 20lbs...by adding back eating I gained 6lbs back so not bad..

I know that people will probably think that dizziness was a sign of detox, it was a symptom I couldn't handle...not in the severity it had shown up. I was unable to pick up my daughter without feeling lightheaded..I was getting dizzy while I drove...I was dizzy every time I stood up....etc. Crazy, nonfunctional dizziness.

SO to battle this I will be upping my Spirulina dosage & definitely drinking more green juices...I love the Kale & Spinach but I had only been drinking them 2 times a day. Check back &  again I'm sorry for the absence!
