Loving the colors and combos

It's day seven. Yippee. Feeling more energetic. Love the combos.  I had this yesterday.  Carrots, strawberries, tomato, orange, sweet peppers

This is day six


Made it through the weekend.  I was worried about that.  Weekends are a big time for eating for us.  Eating out. Eating socially.  Food is a very big part of my life.   Happy to have survived the mall. Enjoyed walking a lot!

So proud I made up my own juice and it was good!

I'll call it Mango mayhem.

Mango (2)
Cantaloupe 1/2
red pepper 1/2
turmeric 1"

Day 4

People say don't juice just eat the fruits and veggies.  I'm here to tell you you probably can't (or won't). This makes three 16 oz servings.  Probably enough in the whole state to feed a family of 4!

Breakfast and lunch

Made mean green for breakfast.  And a carrot cantaloupe for lunch.

Snore no more, Gerson miracle and red worms

My red worms arrived yesterday.  With all this juicing I've decided to compost.  I modified a garbage can by cutting a trap door in the side. I ordered red worms on line. You can see them on the top as I just dumped them in. 

Last night I watches the Gerson Miracle.  She tauts only organic.  Interesting. 

Last but not least. I read on a Facebook group about "pulling" -- the concept was simple. Bacteria enters the body by the mouth. So you rinse and gargle with coconut oil before bed. Sounded simple. It is supposed to cure sinus problems.  Having nothing to lose I thought I'd try it. The inadvertent result is it has almost cured my husband's snoring. It's a miracle.

Day 1 of reboot

Yesterday  I finally got my juicer. It had been on back order. I got up early today. Took my before photo.  Weighed on the scale. -- gained 4 pounds waiting for the juicer!

I started with the Joe Cross mean Green. Kale, cucumber, celery, green apple, lemon and ginger

I bought my ticket for Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead 2.  Wrote out a list (long) of my current ills.  Everything from aches and pains to dry heels...

Learnt a few things already.  Better to plan out by juice than buy a variety.  Realize I need more stuff at the market.  Didn't buy the right "mix".  Need more cukes, apples, oranges....

Juicers are really messy (mine is at any rate.  It is rated as one of the easiest to clean -- wouldn't want to see the others!)
