Third Day

Water gun challenge game, I made
this today for
water day at preschool this week

Since I go to work extremely early I usually eat breakfast on my break. So at 6:30 AM, My Vet woke to the sound of kiwi, grapes, and celery going through the juicer. Our juicer is a really nice one, so the girls continued to sleep.
By lunch we were both famished. I cheated and had a bite of the girls lunch, and he drank a cup of coffee. My Vet beat me home from work, so he whipped up Grapefruit, celery, and carrots for lunch. My Vet wasn't a fan, yet I really enjoyed the tang of the grapefruit.

Empty Laundry baskets on a Monday!!

The people in our inspiration movie, claimed that they had loads of energy. I can't stop yawning, but I am getting more done than usual around the house. If the rest of this challenge only produces 7 more days of this kind of productivity, even with no noticible health benefits, I would still be extremely happy.



For those of you wanting to know what we are eating. Chard, celery, and pineapple made a grossly green dinner, but actually tasted ok.

What's up with the Juice?

Only Day 2?

Cheater, Cheater, Pun'kin Eater!!!

I woke up this morning and had two thoughts. "The sun is up, I am late for work! Oh wait it's the weekend" followed by "I'm hungry do I really have to have another juice?". Last night's supper was a plug your nose and swallow fast kind of a meal.

For breakfast I decided to consult the book that came with the juicer and stick to a recipe. Apples, carrots, and celery, it wasn't terrible and I was able to make the girls' pancakes without eating one.

At lunch time, My Vet wasn't hungry, so I cheated and just ate a big hunk of watermelon. (I don't really get how not eating the pulp, makes that big of a difference. Rationalizing... This isn't looking so good for me.) :-P

Afternoon Snack. I should have taken a different angle so
you could tell how LARGE a glass it is.

 My Vet is doing well though, he hasn't cheated and seems to be feeling OK.

Juice Fast Day One

Day 1, Meal 1

Friday night My Vet and I put the girls to bed, and sat down to watch a movie on "The Flix". He choose "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead", I had noticed this in the queue, and was not the least interested so yeah! (To avoid confusion: italics in this case mean sarcasm.)

Now it is Saturday, My Vet has headed off to Bed Bath and Beyond to pick up a juicer. (I signed up on their website and forwarded a 20% off coupon to his smart phone.) Then Aldi, Sams, and who knows where else to pick up fruits and veggies so we can start a 10 day Juice Fast.

$70 in Fruits and Veggies Ouch!!

My Vet is really excited to try it. I am being supportive. :-)


While he left to go shopping the girls and I  biked to the new bakery for donuts. :-) Then to the Farmer's Market where we found a good deal on Swiss Chard and Green Onions. Here we go..
