Juicing Experience: Day 9

Soon I should be able to juice the night away. :)

Day 9 and we are off to a good start.  I soaked our fruits & vegetables in salt water early this morning so I could just chop and feed to the Ninja.

Since I have been "cheating" with Chipotle, I reminded myself to drink a huge glass of water with lemon juice to jumpstart today's detoxification.

Side note:  Took 2 hours to eat half of a Chipotle Burrito Bowl and was stuffed.  Today I am feeling a little bloated and constipated, so increasing the fluids.

Today's drink consisted of:

  • 1 orange
  • 5 kale leaves
  • 1 apple
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 celery stalk
  • 1/2 pineapple
  • Handful of parsley

The taste was citric at first, then you could definitely taste the celery; small burst of the pineapple and apple.  Think if I were to make this combination again, I would leave out the orange, add spinach and more pineapple.

My sleeping schedule is off, so I have not had the opportunity to be hungry.  The stomach was not gnawing out of my back or growling at me today.  That however, does not mean it will play nice later this evening when I am laying in bed....

Mr. Man portrayed he was ready for his juice.  He was shocked to see me up and preparing it before he was ready to walk out the door.  Mind you, he does not have to leave the house until 8am and it was 7:35am when I was feeding the Ninja.

He hurry up and put on his coat and said he didn't have time to wait for the juice.  He said no one was at the office to assist him today and he had a bunch of stuff to get done.  Really?!?  He didn't even drink his lemon water, but grabbed the other half of the Chipotle before walking out the door.

Looks like I am solo on the juicing experience.

Running to the store today for more fresh fruits and vegetables.  We live really close to the grocery store where I can get fresh produce daily.  Love fresh produce instead of just sitting waiting to spoil in the refrigerator.  Cannot wait to get my year-round garden started.

Today I continued to drink the juice all night, with a small piece of roasted chicken and a banana.  I was stuffed, so I know my stomach is shrinking.

Soon I should be able to juice the night away.  :)
