Starting over is only easier because we have the benefit of past experience.
The juice feast day one is here, again delayed by work and a bit of chaos in life. Today I'm prepared with some spinach, two heads of celery, one head of leaf lettuce, two lemons, plenty of apples, and a couple of cucumbers. This should amount to about two pounds or more of fresh foods for juicing.
While I write this I'm drinking water as the first thing in the morning. I haven't drank enough in the last few days and I feel it.
When I've juiced before, I noted that the liquid of the juice was plentiful enough at first - the first week, but beyond that, I started having stomach growling and discovered that it resulted from not having enough water. Coconut water really helped to curb the growling, so I'll be taking in some of that too this time.
Today, my objective is to drink at least a blender full of juice made from cucumber, celery ( a very hydrating veggie ), lettuce, spinach, apple, and lemon.
This afternoon, I'll make more of the same, but possibly with some sweet potatoes thrown in for more density and calories. I may add some spirulina, hemp oil, coconut oil, or maca.
Its an experiment so I resolve to be "experimental" in my approach. Tomorrow I'll write about the conditions in my body I want to see heal from this attempt at juice feasting for 92 days.
91 days to go!
