Juicing day 15 4/30

Mexican again today! I'm still feeling great. Sleeping well and waking up refreshed. I added horseradish this time! Great addition! About a thumb size piece after it was cut and peeled (just thought it was a good idea... I don't peel the ginger, just scrub real well). I also added 4 stalks of celery and 2 cloves garlic not in the picture. So here we have: a whole lot of grape tomatoes, strawberries, green grapes, a plum, 2 grapefruit, 2 blood oranges, 3 limes, 4 bunches parsley, a few leaves spinach, 3 cucumbers, shallots, a red bell pepper, a peach and a daikon (I think that's right- got at Fm, will check this week and update if wrong).

Look at how DARK green that juice is! That was parsley, daikon, cucumber, celery and spinach!

Juicing day 14, 3/30

Today I took it easy. Stocked up on fruits I didn't find at the FM yet, worked on landscaping in the yard and worked on the garden and compost. I made a huge batch of juice tonight, enough for tonight and tomorrow morning. It's delish! Grapes, strawberries, blackberries, huge bunch of curly parsley, watercress, 2 cucumbers, lots of ginger, 3 limes, 3 lemons, 3 plums, 2 oranges, 2 apples & a peach. It made about 3 liters! Wow! Moms getting a bunch and the boy will get some too.

Juicing day 13 AKA 2/30

So today mom and I went to the farmers market and got some stuff to juice. One of the great things I got was a flat of wheatgrass!!! I hadn't juiced WG before, so I was very excited! Plus mom's jumping on the juicing train! She's agreed to try my crazy juices. I think she will love what she will feel like drinking all the juices! So I had her over and made a juice for her, her very first juice, and SHE LOVED IT! Yay! I added about 4 stalks of celery and a piece of ginger a little bigger than my thumb in addition to the picture below of wheatgrass, 2 grapefruit, lemon, 2 golden apples, one pink, handful of strawberries, 2 small limes.

I will say, after just water and lemons yesterday, then my lemon citrus "tea" last night I'm feeling 100% better today! No nasty sluggish feeling lingering around anymore.

Day 12 AKA Day 1 of last 30 days of juicing

So after the mishap of red bean and rice and hush puppy... Oh? Did I not mention that before.... Strange! But yes... The body needed a reboot after my night off... So I gave it only lemon water all day and a lemon water with orange and a touch of honey last night.... So no juicing.... Just rest.

Day 11 juicing

So this is plus one day from my original goal of 10 days... I will admit I had a little rice and beans tonight... Don't feel good afterwards.... So it's back on the juice only tomorrow.... And this time Ill know how much it hurts if I get tempted.... :( but my juice today was great!! It was creamy and green green green! I had this all day, then the rice n beans tonight.... It was totally an emotional call I know I already regret! Back tomorrow to finish my last 30 days no slip ups!







Day 10

Another long day. I'm tired for the first time since day 3. I will say my skin is sooooo happy. It's gotten very very soft. All in all great juicing day. This was truly delish! Soooo yummy! And look at that color! Purple kale and blackberries make great bases to purple "power" drink!! I also love a pineapple in the juice! Very uplifting and refreshing!!

This is purple kale, celery, parsley, pineapple, grapefruit, orange, grape, ginger, limes, apple, strawberries and blackberries.

Day 8-9 juicing

I have been a little busy the past few days in trial so this will be a short post. Yesterday I was majorly craving something not juice.... But I think it was just the stress of the day and mental exhaustion.... I just kept thinking of a burger and beer.... I guess that's my "comfort food." The past 3 days I have made the juice the night before as I've been having long long days at the office. So day 8 I had the Mexican juice from night 7. Yesterday, day 9, I had a purple power juice that was BEAUTIFUL and delish. It had a ton of ginger and purple kale. In fact I added extra kale and ginger after the main pic was taken. I'll post today's juice later on. I'm still not physically hungry, just an emotional desire to eat. My body though is very satisfied with all the liquid nutrients its getting!!!

P.S.~ the giant grapefruit looking thing is a pummelo!
