Day one of juice fast



I wanted to start my morning normally so instead of drinking a cup of coffee I went for some pomegranate green tea, and caught up on The Carrie Diaries.  I’m not really sure about this show yet, the first few scenes of the show got me all worked up because she lost her mom. In the continuity of Carrie Bradshaw her father left her when she was young, and I think it played a big part in shaping her relationship with men (her daddy issues with other men like Big.) I am starting to try and think of the show as not a prequel to Sex and the City but a show about a girl in high school with crazy Carrie hair who hasn't lost her virginity. Maybe they will make this Sebastian Kid character really screw her over and mess up her relationships with men.   I started with a Red juice 1/2 medium beet, 2 fresh carrots, 1 apple, ¼ lime and I topped it off with a little water to make the glass full.  First impression – It was good at first, and then the after taste hit me like a mouth full of soil. I decided to chug and it really did get better, like my pallet became accustomed to it the longer I drank.  I felt like Dwight when he invented his beet juice energy drink. My second juice at 10 am was orange #12 carrots,1/2 lemons, juiced1/2 Cucumber1 inch knob ginger, juiced (optional)1 orangeAgave nectar to tasteThis juice was really refreshing and is going to be so good this summer.  

Energy level/Feeling: Normal, I was surprised that I wasn't tired or cranky. I felt full most of the day and when I got hungry I craved that feeling with some water until my next “feeding.” I finished my night off with the cashew milk recipes which called for soaked cashews, agave nectar, ice, cinnamon and water in a blender. I read that a fuller smoothie will help you to sleep though out the night and keep you from getting hungry while you sleep. I didn't want food so much, only when I saw my boyfriend eating it, I hear the bag of potato chips rustling and my mouth is watering . . .  I did have a little nausea after drinking the cashew milk. I feel asleep fairly early – definitely quickly, which is good because I usually lay in bed for a few hours until I fall asleep. I woke up this morning and my juicer broke!!!! I was very angry but I was not going to quit so I went to Walmart and bought a similar one by GE. The juice the GE makes is very pulpy so I’m kind of disappointed but its going to have to do for now…
