Day 302 and 303 I Feel Like A Skinny Rainbow

Yesterday, I began to integrate raw vegetables back into my diet, along with the juicing. For lunch I had an avocado with chopped tomato. This morning, I had carrot and apple juice and for lunch, I had a green machine juice, and for dinner, I had Brussels sprouts and mushrooms. I plan to continue juicing for breakfast on a regular basis, because I can get more than my required vegetables and fruit for the day and I feel really great! I'm really glad I did this, I feel re-energized and I will for sure do at least a three-five day juice fast every month. The Brussels sprouts were on my mind all week long, I was seriously jonesing for them, I missed them so much. I was so relieved to have something to chew on again! The biggest challenge was the crappy juicer, I am defiantly saving up for a Breville, this Black and Decker is a pain and a half to operate and to clean! I need a juicer that will allow me to drop in whole apples and not waste time cutting them into tiny pieces, I'm a busy girl, I don't have time for all that! In conclusion, I will probably finish out the week eating raw and cooked vegetables, along with juice and begin to bring back grains and beans next week, it looks like a party's about to bust out up in my kitchen!

Day 301 If I Keep Juicing I May Hit You With A Pumpkin

Even though I've lost another pound, I'm really glad this juicing fast is almost over! I really crave something warm right now. I'm super excited that I'm going to get to roast the turnips soon, anyone have any suggestions or recipes? Today, I spent about 45 minutes trying to get around the Halloween Broohaha going on down the street, to get to the grocery store and back. All of the parking spaces were taken and only one exit was available at both the regular grocery store and at Whole Foods, when I finally found an open space, some teenager in a stupid costume, waved her friend in, who went around me and stole it! This juice fast has made me seriously grumpy, because I then told a cop how stupid he was for shutting sown the entire street (I know it was his fault). For reasons of sanity and more, I will be thrilled to chew food again, I just don't think I can tolerate much more of this non-sense.

Day 300 Pumpkin Face

Day 300 is not a fun day, I feel really cold and gross and I watched my co-workers eat yummy restaurant food, followed by red velvet cake. It kind of makes me feel better to know that at least my blood is probably cleaner than theirs right now, it's the small things. I thought the detox part of my fast was over but it is for sure not, I feel like I'm getting the Flu and I'm also most certainly turning orange. The highlight of my day was leaving the stupid restaurant to peruse the farmer's market in Okmulgee, I bought two sacks full of vegetables for 6.00 and I have something wondrous to end my fast with. I bought turnips, which I have never eaten and I'm going to roast them, as was suggested.
That's about it, aside from losing another pound, woo hoo!

Day 299 Final Countdown Is On

Wow, day 299 feels kind of momentous, tomorrow, I will only have 65 days left of this non-sense, only to be replaced with more non-sense. Right now, at the tail end of my challenge, I am smack in the middle of another challenge, I am on day 5 of my juice fast and it's getting a little monotonous. Tonight, I created something a little different by mixing coconut milk with carrots and mangoes, it wasn't bad but it could have used a little spice, maybe some nutmeg. It's funny but the hunger has gone away, I just feel really energized! I do wish I had something warm to eat, like some soup or something, next week I think I'll make some butternut squash soup, I can't wait!!!!

Day 297 and 298 Real Vegetables

Well, I'm on day 4 of my juice fast and things are going very well! Yesterday, I kept waiting for what the blogosphere deems funky tongue, a phenomenon in which the toxins in your body leave through the skin and tongue on the third day. It's supposed to give you bad breath, but perhaps I'm just not that dirty, my breath smells fine. I've lost two and a half pounds since Sunday, in addition to the weight I lost prior to juicing for a grand total of 14 pounds! My skin looks different today, kind of rosy and well nourished, that is for real a plus, I'm not one to argue with good skin bonuses. I do think I'm not going to be so creative in my concoctions though, some thing are just not good together, tonight was mustard greens, red cabbage, cucumber, carrots, onion, and garlic, and some other stuff. I know it's for the greater good of a healthy body, so down the hatch it goes. My last words of the night are for the girl who says that she eats "real" vegetables, you know who you are. Here's a picture of my "real" vegetables, that pile is as tall as you are my dear.
