End day 2

So it's the end of day 2 and i survived! After my migraine went away and the tooth pain subsided i actually started to feel pretty amazing around about 7pm this evening. I went to the store and got a big ol' cart full of veggies and even now at 10:30pm i still have more energy than normal. I was in line at winco and a little girl looked at me unloading my cart and said to me "wow you are really healthy!" it made me smile. Then i got to talk all about my juicing to the lady who was checking me out. She kept asking me about the sweetness of the juice and she asked if i add splenda or anything to it. This made me laugh, and i told her the apples give it enough sweetness and splenda would totally defeat the purpose!

I tried some new recipes too!

the original mean green is

6 Kale Leaves
1 Cucumber
4 Celery Stalks
2 Green Apples
1/2 Lemon
1 piece of ginger

I made for breakfast

apple
celery
carrot

And for the rest of tomorrow

spinach
kale
apple
pear
lemon
ginger
cilantro
celery

and let me tell ya this new recipe is Divine!! the pear and the cilantro really add a great flavor!

Since i'm on some pretty heavy pain meds for my tooth i did eat solid food today. I made potatoes with red, yellow and orange peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, onion and  mushrooms, it was pretty good!

Stay tuned for day 3!

Oh day 2...

I am at home with extreme tooth pain and a migraine. It's making it very difficult to tell how the juicing is affecting me so far. I don't feel hungry i just feel like eating out of boredom... i'm just going to keep drinking.

A side note, i really have to pee... and i mean alot! last night i woke up 3 times to go! which is abnormal for me, i usually sleep thru the whole night.

I will update again tonight!

Juicing Day 1

On my 6/6 Juice drinks for the day. Juicing is the messiest thing ever! Other than that so far so good. Today hunger was not an issue, and even though i was battling a migraine most the day my energy level was pretty high. BUT it's only day one, from what i have experienced in the past with other cleanses days 2 & 3 are the worst! I ate some delicious cherries from my moms tree but that was the only solid food today, i am allowed to eat raw and cooked veggies while juicing so if tomorrow proves to be more difficult i may have to have some solid veggies for dinner tomorrow but we shall see!

Wish me luck!

Juicin'

I have wanted to do a juice fast for a while now to help with my plateau. I found this documentary called fat, sick & nearly dead to learn more about it. I was completly inspired! So here it goes... day 1!
