Juicing Day 1

So this morning I get up, head to the fridge to cut up my fruits and veggies for my morning juice. I wash, peel and cut. Then I position my juicer, turn it on and....... the power goes out!! Grrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could not believe it. I swear the devil was trying to discourage me. I had my walk at 10am and by now it was about 9am. So we drive down to the local natural foods market and buy an already made juice. I don't like to do that but I really had no choice. I WAS NOT going to give in and just eat a normal breakfast.

As soon as my walk was over I had to grab my stuff for our summer PTO planning meeting. That was from 12pm-3pm. So again I had to go to the store and grab an already made juice. The juice I like to buy is the Naked Green Machine.

So then after my meeting (which only lasted until 2pm) I had to run to the store and get a few more produce items to juice. The finally by 3:30pm I finally made a juice and it was really good. This is so far the first one that I have made that was good! Hallelujah!! Then I showered and now I am sitting here typing this and waiting for my next appointment to get here.

After my shower though I just wanted to weigh my self for giggles. Normally I will gain about 1-2 pounds throughout the day. Well today I am down .6 lbs. from this morning!!! I am also down in body fat but I haven't measured that in a while.

As far as how I feel...I feel good. I am hungry and really want to eat but good. I have what feels like dry mouth though. Not sure if that is normal. I am drinking about 50-60 oz. of juice a day plus 64+oz. of water. Here is the recipe for the juice I made today:

• 2 Apples (peeled & washed)
• 2 Carrots (peeled & washed)
• 1 Handful of Spinach (washed)
• 1 Orange
• 1/2 Cucumber (peeled & washed)
• 1 Kale Leaf (washed)
• 1 Red Chard (washed)

It's pretty good. I didn't use a lot of kale and chard because they are quite bitter. So tomorrow I will post what my weight is to see the difference.
