Day 1: Nutmeg-good, Ginger-bad

Day 1: Check! So I did it, I made it through the first full day (yesterday doesn't really count-since I had a normal lunch). Honestly, it went well. The day began with a drink I juiced last night which consisted of Apples, Peaches, and Ginger.  It was a recipe I found on the Fat Sick & Nearly Dead website but I substituted peaches for pears. Not sure if that was a mistake, it tasted good, but it burnt my throat like crazy! That might also be because I downed it quickly as I ran around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to get ready for church...we have a tendency to oversleep on Sundays lately. 


For lunch I had: Apple-Beet-Carrot

1 Apple
 2 Beets 
3 Large Carrots 
1 Piece Ginger (thumb sized)
& Spinach 

Not horrible, but certainly not good, not good at all! The ginger was so strong...thumb sized was definitely too much of a kick for me! Lesson learned. 

So in the afternoon I decided to do a really short workout with the Wii Fit. I was nervous I would get light headed so I kept it short...but instead of getting woozy I got hungry, really really hungry. So after a little internet searching for "Juicing recipes that actually taste good" I found "Apple Pie Juice."

I don't even like apple pie but it sounded amazing, amazing that is in terms of juicing. Here's what the recipe said...

You can have your apple pie and drink it, too.

* First sprinkle ½ tsp of cinnamon and ½ tsp of nutmeg into your home juicing machine. 
* Then make apple juice with 4 large sweet apples and carrot juice with 1 large carrot 

After texting my husband to pick up some of my favorite apples (Red Delicious) and then borrowing nutmeg from a neighbor/friend...I finally found a juice snack that I really like. Sorry no photos, I was too hungry waste time snappy pics.

Dinner on the other hand...absolutely gross! Green Lemonade sounded like an enticing recipe...it was not! So I poured it into a wine glass to keep it classy and try to psych myself into thinking it was actually A-MAZING. It was not, but I still did it, with a whole lot of water to chase it with! 

I realize it's only been a little over 24 hours since I started but I feel pretty good. Let's hope those good feelings continue! Right now the only thing getting me down is constantly having to clean that darn juicer-uggh. Oh and if you're wondering about my IBS (because of course I know you can't stop thinking about my spastic colon)-all is well in that department. 

ps. It's ok if you think I'm a little crazy for giving up solid foods...I know my dog does!
