It is Day Ten

Tomorrow, I can chew.  Tomorrow, I can chew.  Tomorrow, I can chew.

Juice fast is awesome!  I do miss chewing though?!  Is that stupid or what?  What is it that I get to chew? Well, breakfast will be almond milk and Syntha 6 protein powder, lunch will be organic iceberg lettuce with Walden Farms Ranch dressing, a boiled egg, pineapple, red onion and shaved carrots.  I have decided I didn't work this hard to start putting total crap back in my body.

Last fall, I did a 10 day 'fruits, veggies, raw almonds, herbal tea' self-challenge.  It was just something I had on my 30x30 list to see if I could do it.  I did it, I rocked that shit out.  Then you know what I did the next day?!  I ate pizza, cheetos, and some other total crap!  I have had to do a lot of talking to myself about how this is for health overall and it's not the cry baby 'deprivation' that dieters talk about.  This is me getting stronger, healthier, adding years to my life to spend with my friends and family!

I fought hard with boredom and mild depression eating this weekend.  I had no choice, because I wasn't going to give up on my 10 day commitment.  Knowing James is gone and really cold, crappy weather had me stuck inside most of the time.  I re-arranged my home office and living room.  When bored and unable to eat, move heavy shit around in your house.  You'll appreciate the distraction and the re-styled look!! :)

Some of my fave juices:
carrot, cucumber, green apple

green apple, kale, celery, cucumber (my green machine!)

carrot and apple!  Yum!!

celery, carrot, pear

pear, strawberry, celery

**I add either celery, carrot, or cucumber to almost every juice because it gets the most juice out.  I add kale to every single juice, I put spinach in but it doesn't get that much juice.  Kale gets a decent amount, especially when you put a cucumber or celery in afterwards to finish juicing it and get all the green goodness out of the machine.   I add 1 small meyer lemon to almost every juice (not the sweeter ones like carrot & pear).

I'll be eating a lot of carrots!  I found 2 pound bags of organic carrots on sale for $1.39 this weekend.  I bought 3 bags.  6 pounds of carrots is a lot, but they do have a longer fridge life than most veggies.  I can juice and freeze the juice if I need to.  I couldn't pass that deal up though!

The pounds lost......... stay tuned because I'm gonna rock your world tomorrow with my weigh-in!! :)
