Juice Feast Fast Day 16

Need to get out of my rut.

The storm last night kept me awake longer that I wanted.  I was worried about having my windows open, yet didn't want to have to close them until the last possible moment.  I woke up tired and did not juice.  Again, relied on the old staple of the Naked Juice.  I am setting a poor example to my readers and myself.  Juicing really isn't this hard, just need to make the time to do it, no different from preparing a meal.  Luckily, there are healthy options when you do not have the time to do so. 

Since I didn't take the time to juice myself, I figured I would at least share one of my favorite juice recipes:

Mr. Man and I opted to eat as Sushi Tango.  I had very good intentions for the evening: tried Miso Soup.  I am glad I had the opportunity to try it before I wasted my time to prepare it at home.  I could not get over the flavor of the fish broth.  Plus it left an after taste in my mouth.

They brought Mario's egg rolls out, which I sampled one, so I ordered the green salad.  I LOVE the green salad from there.  We even shared a shrimp fried rice.  Or, I should say I had a small plate.  The salad, egg roll, and a little rice filled me up.  If you didn't know, your stomach is the size of a fist and that portion is enough to have you feeling satisfied.

After dinner, I went straight home to bed. The lack of sleep the night before caught up with me.  Unfortunately I woke up a few hours later with an upset stomach.  It was not happy with the solid food.  The remedy: water.  I guess when I come off my fast I will start with smoothies, then graduate to applesauce. lol

How is everyone else doing on their fast?
