Quick Recap of Tuesday March 6th

Well this morning juicing adventure was not too pleasant.  I overslept, but I was determined to juice before I left the house.  In my rush I made many many mistakes, and a huge mess!  I had such a rough time and after all my struggles, I left my juice at home! Today I did attempt to juice 2 juices this morning.  The first juice was my normal, apple & celery.  Then I did Apple & Beets. Surprisingly, the apple & beets is pretty tasty, I have never been a fan of beets, but I tihnk I like better juiced than eating the veggie.

Jacked up Day...But Juicing Begins!

Well folks I will start with hte drama of the day!  Eww.
  1. A friends 17 year old nephew got shot in the head today.
  2. A friend had a court date today regarding getting her kids back and that did not got well.  Friend is upset and back doing her thang.  Sad!
I know all things happen for a reason, we all have a choice.  But it still affects me to see people hurting especially when a child is lost.  Heavy day!

I am happy to report this is my first day every juicing twice in the day!  The day did not go as I planned, but with all things, I know I will have this perfected and planned out to a tea.  My goal for the upcoming 7 days is to Juice my breakfast and Dinner.  Eat lunch which will consist of salad, and if I have the munchies juice if am able or eat fruit & veggies. 

Day 1 of this little plan did not go according to schedule! I juiced this morning before gong to work, but consumed all the juice before leaving the house.  But by 10am I had kicked up such a hunger and had no fruits or veggies with me at work...I ended up eating, girl scout cookies, coffee, and ritz crackers!  I got an F on my first day!

My breakfast juice receipe was my staple drink...Celery & apples!
I juiced for dinner another detox recipe which is my first time trying.  Apple & beets.
The recipe called for 1/2 beet and 3 apples.
I really really hate beets, so I was a bit iffy about this, but the juice actually taste good!  And it has a cool purple color!  Ha Ha!  That is all I have for you tonight, I am tired and it's way pass my bed time. Talk to you later!

Inspired by a Movie

Well for quite some time, My friend the PolyVegan, has been telling me, I should watch a film called Fat Sick and Nearly Dead.  I finally watched it today...on my Kindle!  It was free! Have I mentioned how much I love my kindle?

I first want to say that film was very well done!  I was truly an honest, heartfelt, sincere work!  When Phil got to talking about his life and his struggles and his divorce and how sick he was of himself...I was in tears.  He could really see he was at his end.  I was truly inspired by Phil's story more so, than Joe's.  And I love how he is paying it forward, by helping his brother and his community!  I love it! 

So now that the movie is over and I am browsing the website, I am asking myself, Is this something I can see myself committing too.  Can I really do this for 30 days, 60 days?  In all honesty..I don't know.  But I think I can at least do it for 7-10 days.  They did have a lady do it on the video for 7 days, and you could see a change in her skin and appearance just from the 7 days of juicing.  I'm signing myself up for a 7-day stint! 

I do have a juicer, and I have just been an occasional juicer.  I have only been juicing celery & apples since I got it as a recipe for detoxing.  So after watching the video, I headed to the juicer and made my celery & apple juice.

Recipe:
     2 stalks of celery
     2 apples (normally I use 1 apple, but these apples were small)
Juice & serve!
