Juice Fast Reboot - Day 1

July 14, 2013

We just made our juices for breakfast and lunch. Lunch is going in a cooler for after church. 

As I was drinking my hot lemon-ginger water this morning I was feeling nauseous.  Sick.to.my.stomach. and what I would have, before, labeled as hunger. 

Then I tasted my first juice for breakfast. 

Blech. 

My stomach was altogether unhappy with me.

David added some crushed ice. 

I ironed my shirt for church.

I just sat down to finish my juice and I feel amazing relief! I'm not sure what is happening in my body, but the juice tastes better iced and I feel better now that it's 3/4 gone. ;)

Be back later for more updates from our first day!

The Mean Green juice for lunch was horrid.  It was SO hard to get it down.  When I had to drink it again at dinner, I just couldn't finish it.  My stomach was not going to hold it in any longer. I am going to need some other recipe to get that stuff down.

I was feeling really icky just after my dinner juice.  I ended up in the bathroom with my first cleaning out.  It took until this evening for me to feel a little better.  I wasn't sure I was going to like the next juice, Peach Delight, but it really is refreshing.

The thing is, there is this taste with juicing. I can't explain it, but I remember it from YEARS ago when I tried a carrot juice someone made for me. It's distinct.  It's earthy.  And, well, I don't really like it.  In fact, I can even smell it in my house now. *shiver*

I've been adding crushed ice to my juices. They are much more palatable when they've been chilled. The Peach Delight had that *taste* when I first tried it, but now that the ice is chilled it, it's much more enjoyable.

I am burping Juice and, well, that's isn't so delightful.  ;)

In other news, my weigh-in tonight had me down another pound. :)  Yippee! 

Got in 25 minutes on the Wii and a Body Test this afternoon.  I'm feeling a little overwhelmed today and craving some quiet, alone time.  I escaped to my room with my juice and water bottle in hopes I'll get it.   I'm finding that I am feeling really thirsty today. That surprises me, because I thought maybe I'd want less water with drinking the juice and coconut water. (which is also gross!)  But, I'm being told that keeping my water up is important to avoid developing kidney stones while juicing. 

Water is is!!
