Day 4

Hey guys!

So day 4 went pretty great! I woke up feeling refreshed, and had a LOT of energy! I went for a long walk with my dog, (up and down mountains!) and had a blast juicing.  I didn't update yesterday because I was cleaning out my computer. I bought a solid state drive, so I was doing a lot of updating, cleaning, and transferring over of data.

Day 4 was good. The only thing negative was that my throat was starting to hurt. I realized that day 4 had a lot of citrus in the juice, so I think that the acid was wearing down my throat a little.

The carrot apple lemon juice (above) was really tasty. It tasted like lemonade with a little bit of carrot in it. It made a lot of juice too! I also tried a new coconut water brand, (because the previous one had too much sugar) and I'm pretty sure this water is what I wanted to get in the first place, because it tastes absolutely terrible! When I threw it out, it made my garbage smell bad too! Oh, also, the pulp that comes out of the juicer is making my garbage wreak too. (my aunt is not happy about that!)

 

That juice I had with the beets is STILL going through my system! I really dislike the beet juice, and I'm not looking forward to tomorrow's juice, because I think it's coming up again soon....I also had the garden variety juice today as well. It's got some oranges, apples, leafy greens and other good stuff.

It was pretty good too. Tasted like green orange juice, if you can imagine what that tastes like. Though I was craving carbs yesterday, I haven't been craving anything but broccoli today. I feel my taste buds changing, and they want more healthy foods! Oh! one more thing before I end this for today, the purple passion juice. This is by far my favorite juice, and it's a good thing its only meant to be a dessert, because if I could choose what juices I'd drink, I wouldn't drink anything but this one. Its DELICIOUS! I think everyone needs to try it at some point! I'd buy a juicer just for this one drink! Its got grapes, blueberries and mint in it.

I mean just look at that picture! That looks so good, doesn't it?! Unfortunately, because there's so few ingredients, it only makes a little bit of juice. And, because I think it's so good, I usually drink it down in under five minutes. Actually, I said I was happy before, but I realized that I do get sad during this fast..... I get sad when there's no more of this juice left!!! It's that good!! the recipe is 1 pint of blueberries, 30-45 grapes (I personally make it 45 to add more juice!) and 2 handfuls of mint, which I just pluck from my garden out back. I juice the stems and all.

Going over to my mom's tomorrow to see how much I weigh, since I don't have a scale here. I want to see if there's a difference to motivate me even more!
