Juicefeasting Day 9

ok so i had to call maintenance today because my garbage disposal was on the fritz! lol this is the most action that things seen all year since i don't normally 'cook'

i tried mixing the spirulina with my juice again & it still didn't mix well. maybe i gotta try putting spirulina, hemp & coconut oil & juice in the vita-mix to blend it well.

Juicefeasting day 8

ok so i'm obssessed with rawfood recipes! i am constantly inventing things that i want a raw recipe for! now all i gotta do is become a rawfood chef--shouldn't be a problem since i have *no* idea how to cook at all lol

well i guess there is always hope

Juicefeasting Day 7

so this morning while in the bathroom i thought i was bleeding to death! then i remembered i had beet juice yesterday lol man they are not kidding about that happening man.

still not drinking the full 4 Qs & getting in everything i need to do....but i'm hopeful : )

had another successful event at a restaurant tonite. still left my money at home just incase lol

Juicefeasting Day 6

so i went to wild oats to get some morning juice. i got carrot / beet / celery. ick. plus it was warm. double ick. ok maybe getting my juice from them is not my salvation. must investigate more lol

today's april fools day. i always hate this stupid day. i *hate* tricks. who invented this crazy day anyway? i think i'm gonna keep a low profile cuz i hate pranks lol

Juicefeasting Day 5

ok so my genius plan was to have other people make my juice for me!

i went to xoom juice & found out they had pasteurized juice : (

but i had a smoothie with it anyway cuz i was 'hungry' and still had some errand to do.

i had a lovely convo with the girl who works there. i told her i was juice feasting thats why i needed the fresh juice & we talked about being raw & she even gave me a recipe for a raw pie--can't wait to eat so i can try it out : )

went to the wild oats / whole foods on speedway & inquired @ their juice bar. they actually have fresh juice! and veggie juice too! well only veggie juice & kinda icky ones lol

but hey its juice right?

so i'm loading up on my fruits & veggies & this older lady asked me how i prepare my chard. i told her i juice it! lol we talked for awhile about juicin & stuff.

ok so i remembered to do the skin brushin but i'm still laggin @ all the other stuff : (

today i went to my first 'excursion' into the land of food lol i had a book group that was meeting in a restaurant so i went armed with some juice & i was fine. i left my money at home just incase i was tempted to eat something lol but i wasn't. yah!

Juicefeasting Day 4

woohoo day 4 only 88 more to go! lol

everytime i talk to my evil but best friend lisa she's eating something! what a temptress! but i'm still holding steady...oddly enough i'm craving raw foods...oh & tortilla soup....so i need to find a raw recipe for that...for later : )

my first Q was actually some leftovers from last nite that needed more celery to be less sweet. then i tried to put spirulina in it but it just globbed together on the top....bummer dont know why that happened.....wasnt about to drink the chunks lol

my new 'trick' is to make each veggie or fruit juice separately then mix to taste as i'm gonna drink it to avoid all the botched calamities : )

made:
greens: took approx 2 lbs of greens and got about a 1/2 cup juice out of it
celery: a coupla of bunches cleaned from last nite netted a Q
apples: about 12 med apples got me another Q

a weird thing happened when i made the celery juice. well two weird things:
1. allofasudden my juicer was getting clogged which is weird because before i've been able to make twice the amount of celery into juice with *NO* problems. i actually had to clean it 3 TIMES! ack
2. even weirder....i swear i heard my celery scream as i made it into juice! ok it was more than likely the celery just squeaking against the juicer but for a second there i swear it was screamin at me to say 'please don't juice us nice lady!'. i was starting to feel guilty for a second. good lord i'm loopy from juicing : )

i liked the mixing capabilities but sadly i only got through 3 Qs again today : (

also no enema or any of the supplemental stuff. but i did skin brush at least! lol

tomorrow i'm going to go out & explore my local juicebar options to see if i can get someone else to make my juice for me for a change! lol

no major things happened today except i'm dealin with that fuzziness on the the teeth....brushed an extra time to no avail. i think i'm gonna do my teeth bleachin trays once a week still just cuz i love havin nice shiny white teeth & maybe it will help with the fuzziness altho a purist would say not to do but thank goodness i'm not a purist : )

Juicefeasting Day 3

woke up at 4 am with my head feeling like it was shrinking from dehydration. probably is lol oh & of course the aforementioned headache. i just couldnt get into juicing yet so i had a spoon of royal jelly--another thing i've been forgetting to do--ack!! this is a lot to remember to do in a day lol i also cheated and had an aspirin. more stuff to detox out but i know this headache & it can only get worse.

went back to bed & wokeup about 8am. make some apple juice to go with the leftover greens concoction from yesterday to make a quart.

just realized i forgot to do the water / lemon / msm thingy--dammit! lol

nottomention i havent being doing the brushing or the enemas. gee i'm suprised im not in worse off shape lol

final-freakin-ly! i made 8 cups of juice! : )

i went to the hardware store & bought a paint strainer--i think that made all the difference. i used more apples too but i think i got a much larger yield from squeezing the juice out of the paint bag as oppose to using the strainer that came with the juicer which it seemed like i was throwing so much of the juice away.

plus i only strained it one other time with very little need to.

i think i might be finally catching on lol the only prob is that i forget to clean some greens! i will do that later to supplement the leftovers and for making the final batch today.

now i hafta learn how to do an enema...i can't wait until i'm at the point i can complete all the days tasks & in an efficient order! : )
