Hello people! Its day 4 and guess what I forgot to do again last night.... TAKE PICTURES! Grrrr! To say that yesterday was a bit of a long day is not an exaggeration. My co-worker is out of town so I (stupidly) volunteered to work the 2 and 1/2 extra hours a night for 4 days. It will be good to have all that comp time, but this week is long long long and its only Tuesday. OK back to the real reason I am here, to talk about day 4 of juicing. Last night when I got home I was very tired and more than a little hungry. I had come up against McDonalds smells and popcorn smells yesterday at work. It was brutal. But I stood firm. I was not sure how juicing would work for such a long day away from my juicer. Turns out I underestimated a bit. So I adjusted today I am positive that I will be better at then end of my night. How am I feeling? I feel actually very good. I have lost 3lbs and everything seems to be ok. I guess I am a bit shocked because I expected this to be much much harder. I however am not a stranger to healthy foods, fruits and veggies. I was a full time Vegetarian for over a year and a half. So maybe this cleanse might be more extreme for somebody who doesn't eat a lot of healthy food. However at the end of my 7 days I do plan on keeping up the diet of (mostly?) vegetarian trying to cut out dairy and my final goal is to cut out sugar....yesh! I am however not sure if I am going to allow myself to eat meat. I go back and forth about it all the time.
Here is the problem with being full veg. The people you tell wont let you forget it. Trust me everybody from my roommate to my co-worker is always loudly expressing concern that there is nothing for me to eat. I regret telling people. I wish I would have just kept it to myself and secretly avoided the foods. I have been eating meat for a while though and the other day our bosses took us out to lunch. I wanted a freaking cheese burger but my co-worker loudly asked what I was going to eat since I didn't eat meat. I normally like attention but I didn't want that kind of attention. So I settled for a lame grilled cheese. Booo! Anyway more on that later.
I do have a couple of pictures I just snapped at my desk:
So the big one is 32 oz and that will be my lunch, after lunch and whenever I need some food. It has spinach, carrots, celery, cucumber, apples, pares, oranges, and just a ton of stuff that I can't all remember. It is super yummy!
The little bottle is for dinner. It has tomatoes, celery, cucumber, spinach, carrots. Kind of more hardy. At least in my mind. I think its about 160z ish? The bottle doesnt have a number on it.
Both bottles are not all the way full as you can see, but I doubt I will have the end of the day hungries like I did yesterday with this load.
Anyway I promise I will get more pictures before the end of this 7 days.
