Well, I know we missed yesterday. It wasn't a banner day for us. We actually did do great with our 1st full day of juicing. But honestly, we kinda felt like crap. K was in the worse condition with being sore in her muscles and just feeling almost flu like. I was kind enough to offer up some massage in her legs that were killing her and it seemed to help some. I was just kinda tired and lethargic. I did go in for a half day of work and did my job, but wasn't super interactive with kids. I do substitute teaching. I didn't lay down through out day. Trying to just sleep at night, so I was dragging on and off with energy. K, could even smell chemicals in her hands that she hasn't used in weeks. So, it's trying to get out of her body somehow. I noticed that my skin is breaking out also on my face and arms and back some.
But, we made it!!! 1 day down, who knows how many to go. We did a fruit type juice in the morning and veggie stuff through out day. We were not really hungry much. But, I did get hungry towards end of day. I was going to do another juice, but decided to try some water and it seemed to settle me. I didn't wake up feeling hungry either. We have been trying different recipes of juice. Trying to figure out amount of stuff vs. output of juicer. It's been kinda fun. We are trying different mixes of stuff to find flavors that we don't have to choke down, but there is some of that too.
I will say, it was tough being in kitchen while kids cooked yesterday. I'm wrestling some with food craving of feeling a lose for it. Sometimes, even anxiety. when I went to the school I was at yesterday, they had a few dozen cupcakes on the counter and I just had to look away. Same with passing vending machines. I'm really just battling old behaviors right now. A typical day would include 2-3 24oz. diet Cokes and probably a vending machine run for a candy bar of some sort. I didn't really drink much besides the soda, maybe some flavored drink for dinner like a Crystal light of something like that. food wise it was probably something processed and meat in most meals. Fast food was probably 3-4 times per week in there somewhere while running around or just hungry. So, I'm dealing with a lot of eat whenever and eat whatever. No real boundaries on anything. I will say I was changing some of that before. Before this, I had lost about 20 lbs over last 6-9 months already. But, being so overweight, no one and even myself noticed. I could tell my over sized clothes were not so tight. Hoping to go down quite a few sizes to something more normal.
But all in all, we made it through day 1 of juicing and encouraged that we did. I'll do a seperate post with what we have juiced so far today.
Eat Well...
