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 293 Puttin The Squeeze On The Juicer Search

I have spent the last two hours looking at juicers, reading reviews, and comparing prices. Obviously I'm not going to buy the 400.00 Breville juicer or the 14.00 citrus squeezer, which is not really a juicer at all. I'm looking for something in between and I think I've found it, the GE juicer for 49.00. Most of the reviews were positive, so I may go and find it tomorrow. I know that I will use it multiple times a day so 50.00 is a good investment in my health. I am really excited about making some different concoctions, maybe kale and apples or mango ginger pear, I don't know, I may go a little crazy. Tonight I had butternut squash, corn, and black beans, it was lovely (not juiced, of course)! I know I said yesterday I was going to start my juice fast today, but I am not yet prepared, perhaps tomorrow will be the day.
