Day 2

 Breakfast juice... 1 apple, 1 orange, 1/2 grapefruit. Yummy but I like it better when I add the strawberries!

Mean Green for lunch! I used spinach in this one since I had a big case in the fridge that was going to go bad soon. I think I like the spinach better than the kale.

This is the Mean Green with kale. It's weird how different the colors are! This one is a much lighter green than the spinach one.  I think I may try getting my kale from somewhere other than Costco cause it doesn't seem to juice very well.

Day 1

Wow, Day 1 is over and done with! Yay! This has honestly seemed like the longest day of my life and it's only the 1st. Boy am I in for a world of hurt. Everyone says it gets better after the first few days so I am just hoping those days come quickly :) The juices were actually really tasty. I had no problem getting any of them down but I just missed FOOD so much. Anyways, here is a rundown of what I juiced for the day...

I had this delicious juice for breakfast and named it the Utah Sunrise :) It was super delicious and fruity. I don't think I've ever tasted better juice in my life!

I then had the Mean Green for lunch! The cucumbers I bought from Costco were already bad so I didn't get to use those in the juice (yes, I'm taking them back!).  The juice was 10x better than I thought it would be though. I made Spencer try it first to see if he liked it heh. He thought there was too much lemon and I thought there was just enough lemon to hide the overwhelming taste of celery! So overall it was pretty good.

I had the Minty Fresh Berry Juice for dinner. I know you're supposed to do more veggies than fruit but I was having a pretty rough day by now and needed a pick me up! This is not the juice for that! Honestly, I'm going to rename this farty juice, because it seriously smelled like farts. Haha, I sound so immature! Spence and I must be delusional from all the juice cause we laughed for about 10 minutes about how funny it was our juice smelled like fart. Yes, we are 10 years old :) Anyways, it didn't taste too horrible but it was hard to drink when it had such an unpleasant odor.... I also drank lots and lots of water after each juice.

So the juices really aren't bad, honestly they are pretty tasty! But the mental aspect of only drinking juice is the challenging part. My body wasn't hungry but my mind was craving a cheeseburger something fierce.  Food really is an addiction for me.  It's something that can make me happy when I feel sad, it brings people together, and provides you with something to do!  Spence and I always spend so much time thinking about what we're going to eat and then it's almost like an activity when we go get food and eat it, so it was really hard to know that we wouldn't be doing any of that.

I'm hoping these next few days fly by and that as time goes on, each and every hour of the day wont be such a struggle.  I've been having a pretty bad headache for the last half of the day as well and I'm hoping that goes away soon too! I apologize for not being all gung ho about juicing today but it is HARD.  Nothing worth having is ever easy though, so here is to tomorrow being a better day!
