Today is day 2 – success!
It is the end of the day and so far, so good! I am not drinking the 16 cups of juice as recommended, probably closer to 8 cups of juice. I think this is because I haven’t found “that” juice yet that really gets me going… if you know what I mean ;)
Today when I woke up I was dead to the world. You practically had to drag the zombie out of its grave. This was probably because I did not get to bed as early as I wanted to due to the time constraints of my normal life. Tonight it is looking the same way so I am going to try to make this a quick blog.
After I got going in the morning I was fine. I still did not drink my 1 liter of water in the morning. I tried too, but by 10 AM my stomach was growling because I hadn’t drank any juice yet. I gave up on the water and went straight to the juice. I am supposed to add 1/4 of a lemon or lime to my water. That was a bit too tangy for me, so today I went with 1/8 of a lime. Still too much. I am going to try even less tomorrow and then maybe none at all because it seems to be preventing me from drinking my water.
Everything else went well – today was an off day from my workouts so I didn’t need to worry about that. I played around with my juice recipes today and tried to wing it. For breakfast I made a juice recipe that I had found online and had tasted before, it is one of my favorites. Today’s breakfast juice had celery, cucumber, beets, lemon, ginger, and apple. I added most of the beet root tops as greens for this juice. Today’s lunch juice was all my own creation based on some “base juices” that were given to me from Natasha St. Michael in her juice fast tips (go to radiancecentral.com). My lunch time juice was made of carrots + pear (as my base), the rest of the beet top greens, cucumber, and celery. This juice was pretty good. I liked the sweetness of the carrots. It really took away from any green taste that the juices some times have in them. I also made my fruit juice during my lunch break. It was made from a recipe I had previously found online and it had orange, sweet potato, grapefruit, and apple. I am not a huge fan of grapefruit and this juice confirmed it. I am glad I only bought two. When I tasted the fresh fruit it wasn’t so bad – but having so much in the juice – my face puckers up and I just don’t have the palate for it. But I will try again with the other one later.
Today went pretty well. I am still having some food cravings, but nothing major. I bought some personal size watermelons tonight. I had been looking for those and was glad to finally find them. I am thinking about cutting one open and eating it, but that wouldn’t be juice so I will pass for now.
Here’s looking at tomorrow!
