Day 1

So it starts....92 days....I will think about this in increments of 10...so theoretically, Day 1 of 10 of 92. Right? lol Anyways, you get my point. I started my morning off with this juice :

2 carrots, scrubbed not peeled
8 strawberries, tops removed
2 navel oranges, no rind

made 12oz of juice that I mixed with 1tsp of Bee Pollen & 1tsp of MSM powder, which can be found at your local health food store.

I've already had another juice since early this morning, I made:

1 cucumber, peeled
1 head of broccoli spears
1 green apple, cored
1 tbsp of Mighty Greens powder
1 tbsp of Agave Nectar

The Mighty Greens powder can be found at your local health food store as well as the Agave nectar. This juice made about 2 cups, or 16oz. Cucumbers are FILLED with yummy nutrients and lots of water as well.

I've only made it to 10:00am so far LOL...but I haven't had hunger pangs or anything....If I felt like I wanted something, I made more juice. That's the point of this, filling your body up with the nutrients it needs. Now along with these juices, you are encouraged to drink a gallon or so of water/lemon a day. Lemons have amazing antioxidants.

Of course, to rub salt in my wounds this morning...My husband pulled out a lb of bacon & fried it up. Yes, he's supportive...No, he wasn't thinking. LOL He's juicing with me, just not fasting....he is just eating in moderation.


Starting weight : 361lbs  - weighed this morning

I lost a total of 8lbs in 6 days before i started this feast just due to the introduction of juices into my diet.

I will have to go out & buy a tape measure, I can't seem to find mine :( SO inches will be measured later today.

I feel good. I feel light. Having not actually "eaten" a breakfast like I normally do (english muffin, bacon, eggs, etc) I feel empty but full. Light, but full. I know detox symptoms are bound to show up but I'm ready :)

AFTERNOON:
For lunch I made a tomato concoction...

2 ripe red tomatoes
2 carrots
1 cucumber
1 sliver onion
1 tbsp basil

This tasted a lot like a gazpacho....and if you had added a shot of Tabasco, it could have been a Bloody Mary. This was the most filling juice I've had. Plus, it made 3cups!

SNACK:
Well, I have been feeling great all day....still am! I've been drinking water like a fish (with lemon) & I just made another juice with:

1 pineapple , skinned
1 mango, (these suckers don't juice F.Y.I.)
1 papaya

Can I just say this was Heaven in a glass....absolutely refreshing! I closed my eyes and I felt sun & sand :) The mango gave it a smoothie texture which I really liked too. Although I know I can't do this often, it was an AMAZING treat. Total, this juice made 1.25qts...LOTS of fresh juice. My children loved it!!

So dinner was a green juice:

2 handfuls of kale greens

2 handfuls of spinach

1 cucumber

3 stalks of celery

2 small granny smith apples

1tsp of agave nectar

Yield: 2, 8oz cups

So this ends my day....I drank a total of 170oz of water & well over 4 quarts of different juices. All in all, today was a great day :) I went shopping for new produce (mainly greens) & I didn't get my afternoon lull & had energy. I know this feeling won't last long as my body adjusts to the nutrients & starts breaking down the badness I have going on. Detox is around the corner....stay tuned :)
