Blog Abandonment & Vacation

      Oh my dear little blog!  I am so sorry I abanded you!  Ending the fast, trying not to get the germs that are all over work and school coming at me quickly...  Lots going on!  Today was my first day of my ten day vacation and there was blue sky!  Sounds like a good start to me!  I will fill you in soon!  :)

JF Day 4.5: Caved & Bread and Butter

      i made it four and half days.  Today I went back to work.  It started out fine, besides the fact I spilled beet juice on the carpet...  Oops...  Near the end of my day I was kinda over being there.  I couldnt stand still and I finished all my checklist work with 2 hours to spare.  When I got home I started to make my afternoon drink and started to feel awful.  I sat down for a few, but started to feel worse.  I used to faint a lot when I was younger so I know when I see stars I am in trouble!  I didnt have it in me to make more juice so I made an executive decision to eat something.  The fastest thing I found was bread and I added Earth Balance, figuring the fat would be good for me.  Right after I went to bed and slept for 2 hours.  Rough.  I am not giving up.  I just decided that its not easy juicing and working.  If I didnt have to work I think I would be fine!  So I am going to start eating some.  I will still be juicing lots, but not fasting.  I also think I had to many fruit juices...  I cant handle my sugar!

Anxiety for school:  6 out of 10.  I really wish I could get my writing book...
Looking forward to:  Watching Harry Potter with Crysie tomorrow and Bingo on Thursday!
Not looking forward to:  Next Monday when school starts...  Yikes!

JF Day Two: A New Juicer

    i want to get a new juicer.  I worry that the one I have wont make it.  I paid like $60 for it a year ago[?].  I have been looking around and I think I found my new best friend.  The Breville Juice Fountain Plus.  Just wish I had the money to get it now...  Hmmm.



What I DrankCarrot Apple Ginger Juice  Used less ginger todayCitrus Inspired Green Juice  Pretty good, I used 3 oranges insteadPurple Power Juice  Grapes are super hard to get in a juicer...Gazpacho Juice  I am about to make!  Excited!
I feel better today then yesterday!  I even went out shopping.
Getting ready for the bar!  Have a great weekend!  :)

JF Day 1: Not so bad!

What I Drank Water with Lemon, with in 30mins of wakingCarrot Apple Ginger Juice,  Will wake you up!Mean Green Juice, yummy and mildSunset Blend Juice, best so far!  Creamy and sweet, but not overlyLots of water
[I could have had two more drinks, but didnt really need them...]

I feel pretty good!  I think having 2 smoothies a day for months and then 2 juices day for a week really helped.  Helped transition.  Start small folks!  :)

I had to cut bits out cause I rambled and got distracted...

• Looking a blogs if tough!  People keep posting yummy food!  Jerks! But I didnt make an "After Fast" favorite folder so I can makeall the goodies!

Juice Fast: My Last and First Meals

     happy Friday!  I wanted my friend/coworker to take a video of me taking my last bite of real food.  She suggested that we tape the whole thing and speed it up, she is smart.  It was fun to watch it again.  We laughed a lot.  It is very strange to watch videos of yourself eating, well for me, videos of me in general.  I dont think I look at myself much anymore.  I glance in the mirror after I am dressed and hope I look ok, I use a tiny mirror to put on my makeup so I never get the whole picture.  I had no idea this is what I really looked like.  In my head I am smaller.  When I watch the videos, its like I have a fat suit on.  I cant believe this is what I really look like.  I am not saying this in a negative/hurtful, I just had no idea this was how far I let myself go.  I was chubby in high school.  I was the funny friend.  My senior year I lost the weight and was very skinny till I turned 24.  Then it all went downhill…  I had no idea this was going to be such an experiment of self-examination. 

My phones video space was filled right before my last bite, created some drama, but it ended up ok!

My first official juice!  The onion made it a bit intense.  I have been drinking lots of green drinks so I wanted to mix it up!

I also shot a video if me shopping today, with the help of my ahMazing mother.  Still working on editing it.  

What I Ate Drank [since I got home from work]

Wheat grass with green juice

Peppermint Tea

Gazpacho Juice

Number of times I have peed since I got home:  7

Questions:  What will my poop be like?  [sorry if thats TMI]

Hunger Level:  My last meal was at noon.  Its 11:30pm.  I was really hungry around 8, but the juice helped.  Right now I feel more empty, than actually hungry.

Wish:  That my juicer survives this!

Can I do this for 15 days:  So far YES!  :)

Plans for tomorrow:  Sleep, rest, movies, not kill anyone...

Create:  The two videos

Do you think this is a good idea?

Juice Fast: The Night Before

Please disregard the lack of makeup...

Obsession: Capers & Snow

     i love that this snow picture is blurry!  It has been snowing most of the evening.  It has been super cold all day.  I even told some guest that I thought if it was going to be this cold, we should have snow!  Sometimes you get what you ask for!  Either way it is beaUtiful!  

Snow in my hair.  <3

On to the capers bit.  I can not get enough capers!  You cant really see any in the picture but they are there! Spinach, baby kale, capers and garlic.  So ahmaZing!  I cooked some asparagus and added capers, pretty good.  Not as awesome as spinach and kale but I wouldnt turn i down!  :) Makes me nervous about giving up food for my fast...  I am going to have soooooooooooo much free time without cooking!  Yikes...  I started my shopping list and go tomorrow to get my veg on!  

What are you obsessed with?

Juice Fasting

     my brother watched Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead.  He was pretty excited about it and wants to do a juice fast.  Today I watched it too and I am hooked.  I have always wanted to try a juice fast.  Why put off for tomorrow what you can do today?  I have decided to go for it!   This Friday afternoon I will start a 5 day juice fast!  I am hoping to make it to 15 days, but we will see how it goes.  Reboot has great "meal" plans, check it out!  :)

Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead - Official Trailer from Team Reboot on Vimeo.

I will keep you updated on how it goes.  I will probably have to vlog about so you can see the changes!  Excited!

Create:  I tried to teach Bruder how to use the juicer....
