We are getting good at the juices and judging how much it takes to make stuff. I have been doing a balance of veggies juice and fruit. Mostly fruit in the morning and maybe at night. Been trying to juice veggies a few times per day. I'm probably taking in 75-100 ounces of juice per day right now. I'm probably not drinking enough water on side, but trying to pick up pace on that. here are pics of lunch yesterday. It was yummy.
K, on the other hand, is still feeling like crap. I'm hoping that she will start blogging soon. But, she has been feeling terrible. If it doesn't clear soon, she may need to stop. I think she is taking a lot of water intake also and maybe detoxing too fast. She thought it might be an allergic reaction to some veggie or something. But she thinks it may be some med detox going on. It is almost an allergic reaction to past medicine for her. I'm worried about her. She did try to eat some egg whites and toast to absorb stuff and it seemed to help some earlier today. Also, some broth and veggie tomato soup. We are trying to figure it out so she feels better.
For me. I am doing better with food craving. Still want solid food. Made the kids a salad tonight with chick peas on it, and man, I wanted to down whole bowl of them. We did go to a game night party with a few friend the other night. There was cookies, and rice crispy treats. We never had one. It was tough seeing them, but really not too bad. We did so great, and are doing so great to make it to day 5.
I am wondering how long I can go. I did lose 5 lbs. in 5 days. That is great. I really wanted a big huge number of lose this past week, but it is 1st week, and who knows what my body will do with disability and wheelchair stuff. I was asking myself, at what level is it worth it. would 1 pound be ok for a week, or does it have to be more. Well, I will have to find a place with that, but I am lighter today than I was last week. I am actively involved in my food choices and lifestyle changes. Those 2 things alone are great. It's still tough to imagine what food will be like. That is part of why I like the juice. I can be doing something great for me and my body, while trying to figure all that part out. I did get a couple organic/farmer market cook books. It is almost like looking at forbidden pictures. Like, oh baby, doesn't that look good...lol
I will say, I am currently drinking the worse juice I have done all week. It taste like I dug up dirt and liquefied it. I'm only drinking it since I don't want to waste stuff, but man, it better be worth a few pounds to drink this. I tried beets for 1st time, and I don't think i washed enough or should have taken off greens or something. I will try peeling them without greens tomorrow. But right now it is rough.
2 beets, 8 carrots, 1/2 red pepper, cucumber, green apple, 3 celery huge glass of dirtness...ugh
Oh well, onto another day. Day 6 will be here soon. I have been sleeping great. K, not so well due to being sick. Hope that all changes tonight.
Juice well...
