Sorry for not posting yesterday, I just felt so good and was sooo busy :) I didn't have the greatest night's sleep on Thursday night...I kept waking up what seemed to be every 10 min...but I still woke up feeling quite rested. My mind feels amazingly clear. I feel like I have come out of a fog or some sort, and my brain is now functioning without muck, lol.
Today was a wonderful day. Tibi and I went shopping for a juicer and then went and bought a LOT of produce. We bought our juicer from Costco for $89.99 (It is a Jack LaLanne Power Juicer...and it works grrreat!). We then proceeded to Winco to buy our produce. On our list was kale, cucumbers, beets, lemons, carrots, golden delicious apples, granny smith apples, red cabbage, celery, ginger root, and spinach. We made our first juice concoction tonight about 8pm.....whoa!....i cannot tell you how great it made us feel. Almost like a high. At first, our brains were tingly...then I just felt like totally rejuvenated with energy!! I feel better right now than I can remember feeling in months or even years!! I am so excited for this juice fast :)
The recipe we used, "Mean Green" (which yielded about 32 oz.):
6 Kale Leaves
1 Cucumber
4 Celery Stalks
2 Green Apples
1/2 Lemon
1" piece of ginger root
It was sooooo delicious!! Kind of tangy...smelled worse than it tasted so don't let the smell fool you :)
I cannot wait to juice tomorrow!! :) We will be trying an apple, carrot, beet juice for breakfast. Probably Mean Green for the middle two "meals" and then not sure yet for dinner. I will keep you posted with recipes and update of how we feel. Also, tomorrow will be another breakdown of weight, etc. stats!
