“And the Lord God made all kinds
of trees grow out of the ground - trees that were pleasing to the eye and
good for food.” Genesis 2:9
Hello: What you see before you is
my breakfast – and what I took to work. I enjoyed a glass of green drink
made from green, seedless grapes, apples, and some carrot juice.
I put it in the refrigerator at work, because my morning juice filled me up. I
drank some of it for lunch – finished it off in the afternoon. I didn’t forget
to drink water too.
In my family, I am known as “Miss
Sahara Desert” attributed to me lovingly for the amount of water I consume, or
do not consume, more precisely. Though I have been consciously trying to consume
more water since summer, it has never been a strong suit for me. Point 1, goes to
juicing – think of all the extra liquid the body is getting. I even had some tea and boullon today to keep me warm. What could be prettier than unwrapping a tiny little, gold wrapped package of bouillon?
The day went well, as long as one’s
mind is not on food, one feels great. Therein, lies the kicker. It’s hard not
to think about what you’re going to have for lunch and dinner, and then you’re
caught up short thinking – oh yeah, I’m juicing. The trick for me is, go ahead
and do it anyway. Sure I’d rather have food, but not really, I’d rather be
successful in this weight loss and revitalization thing that I’ve undertaken.
Yay me!
Yay you! (You've decided to give it a try and feel better haven’t you?)
When I came home this evening, on
the first day of having to scrape my windows of frost, I was chilled and wanted
something warm and thick. I cut an acorn squash in two, popped it in the
microwave for several minutes, and nothing ever smelled so good. I made a cup
of broth and added them both in the blender, together with onion and garlic
flavoring and the tiniest bit of salt & pepper. Blended and enjoyed. Hey,
it’s a vegetable, and I made it into a liquid – what’s wrong with that?
FUNNY OF THE DAY: When I come home,
I usually kick my shoes off and unbutton my pants (that have been too tight all
day). As I photographed this evening’s picture, my pants fell off around my
ankles. (giggle)

| P.S. I watched the movie: "Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead" again last night for inspiration. And it did just THAT! You can download this off of Netflix. |
I am ALMOST convinced to do this,only I may have to hit SOMEBODY up for a juicer! I used to do juice fasts but never more than about five days. It would feel sooo good.Thanks for the inspiration! I want my pant to fall off too!
ReplyDeleteI started to watch Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead a month or two ago but I dozed off. Not because it was dull, just the consequence of watching documentaries at 3 am. I don't know if I will ever do a juice fast, but Jenny's mom always gives her juices she makes as a meal supplement, and it might be nice to do that. I always eat my lunch too early, and when I get hungry in the afternoon, the campus food choices are just bad. I just downed a bag of Doritos. A bottle of juice in the office fridge might be just what I need to get through the midday slump.
