I can't do this for 10 days...This morning's juice was good. It was grapes, blackberries, apples, & ginger. It actually was not bad at all. The ginger was a little strong but other than that I would do it again.
Lauren and I both realized, we can't function doing this...she has to teach our children and I have to work and be able to think. We have been zombies for the last two days. So we have struck a compromise. We will continue to juice some but not all meals. The rest we will focus on eating whole foods (not processed) focusing mostly on fruits and vegetables as well as portion control. Our snacks will either be fresh juice or raw fruits and vegetables. We are going to eliminate junk from our grocery trip. We will do as the French do and shop the perimeter of the store rather than the middle. :) For those that haven't quite gotten what that means let me spell it out. The perimeter of the grocery store, while it does have some processed foods is predominately the whole foods; your produce, some dairy, meats, etc. Mind you it is not 100% fool proof but it is a way for us to try to eat healthier.
I am not completely swearing off juicing, just modifying it. So all the produce we purchased will not go to waste. I will say this...even with only two days juicing, my taste buds have been craving honest to goodness food not junk. So that is good.
Going to do one more juice today and then a sensible dinner...:) Praise GOD for food!!!
We watched that documentary and are juicing too but like you said we were zombies so we modified our diet as well and have joined the Y.
