Today is day 2 of our modified juice fast..we are hungry, tired, and wanting more food! We felt great the first morning when we had a juice that contained 4 carrots and 1 apple - yummy! I even felt like I didn't need a coffee... but I did get one since my hubs is a Starbucks barista and I get really bad headaches without caffeine... not too much taken away at once, right?..
We had a green drink for lunch (which I spilled all over our stove - did I mention it's an old stove and I can't take the top off to really clean it?..hopefully I got it all!) Then I went to the store to get more fruits and veggies for the next few days and it was.. gasp! $50 for 2 days worth! We decided we will continue with a super modified juice fast because that is just too much to pay right now. We will juice in the am along with oatmeal or an egg, spinach salad for lunch with a fruit/green juice, snacks of nuts of our choosing, and chicken and veggies for dinner. Basically it's a low carb diet with juice supplements.
We've been wanting to cut out breads, crackers, cookies, candies, and sweets for some time now. I really think supplementing with juices will help our taste buds crave healthier things - if we can get past the 2nd day without cheating!
PS - This morning we had my favorite juice yet: 1 apple, 1 pear, and 12-15 strawberries - tasted like heaven!
A little side note - Emmrie is almost 10 months and just started scooting around coffee tables. :) She'll be walking in no time and I am scared because I am already chasing her everywhere! How exciting it is to watch her grow in development, though!
She'll be walking soon!! Nicholas took forever to crawl but once he started cruising around tables, it was only about a week or two before he was running everywhere! I think he was 10.5 months or so. Nothing cooler than watching your little ones grow and learn new things!!!
