It's day 1! I had so many second thoughts this morning. The idea of juicing is always so much better than the reality.
- I woke up at 7:00am, got the kids ready for school, drank a cup of hot water with lemon (I usually have coffee). I planned on running to the grocery store after dropping the kids off at school to stock up on fruits and veggies, but Jenn had the ingredients I didn't for the first juice of the day. Yay, I didn't have to run to Kroger looking like a zombie!
-Woke up with a headache, but I went to sleep with one as well.
-Met Jenn at the kids school to get the juicer and the rest of the ingredients I needed for the juice.
-Got home, washed up the juicer and made juice #1
9:00 am - Carrot Apple Ginger Juice (breakfast)
-This juicer is amazing! It pulverizes anything you stick in it! This is going to be fun!
-This is delicious, I think I'm going to like juicing!
-Rinsed out juicer, not too much of a mess.
-Went to Kroger to buy all the fruits and veggies I would need for the next two days. I left my list at home! Thank goodness Jenn was there with her list. We looked like two veggie-loving fools in the produce department.
-Man that bread baking in the Kroger bakery smells good, tummy rumbles.
-I totally underestimated the amount of produce we would be buying/consuming! I think I left with 6-7 bags of produce. I bet the check-out lady thought I was crazy!
12:30pm - Mean Green Juice (mid-morning juice)
-Does it look like I drank this mid-morning? Whoops!
-Set the juicer up again, this time the recipe made 24 ounces of juice! The first one was only 16 ounces. Crap, how am I going to drink all this juice today?
-Ugh! This juice is terrible!!! I don't know how I managed to drink it all. I'm sure holding my nose and gulping helped.
-What have I gotten myself into? There's no way I am doing this for 6 days! 3 days it is!
-Feeling discouraged, but I made the other three juices for the rest of the day.
-Cleaning out this juicer is a pain in ass!
3:00pm - Gazpacho Juice (lunch)
-Drank half on the way to get the kids from school, the rest a couple hours later.
-This juice is pretty bad too, but not as bad as the last one. It made about 32 ounces of juice!
5:45pm - Citrus Inspired Green Juice (afternoon snack)
-Drinking these closer together so I can fit them all in.
-Why are these recipes making so much! Another 32 ounces.
-I've been peeing a ton!
-Still not a very yummy juice.
-This juice was better than the last two, but not anything I would ever voluntarily want to drink.
8:30pm - Sunset Blend Juice (dinner)
-Drank this over the next hour. Not bad at all, but there is a strong dirt after-taste. I'm thinking it's from the beets or sweet potato since they do come from the ground.
-Another 32 ounces of juice!
-I'm finished with juice for Day 1!!!
Finishing the day at 9:00 with a 20 minute pilates video and a cup of herbal tea. I wonder how many times I'll get up in the middle of the night to pee?
Today was a pretty normal feeling day. I had a slight headache all day. I didn't really feel tired until about 7:30pm. This day was extremely busy though, so not surprised I'd be worn out. I noticed my face had a little more color in it already! That's always a good sign something is working. It was really hard cutting up fruit and making the kids meals without popping a little something in my mouth.
Okay folks, tune in tomorrow as my juicing adventure continues!
