Juice Cleanse: Day 1

So far so good!! Day one isn't entirely finished yet but I will update on you how its been so far and you can hear the rest of the day included in Day 2.

I woke up really hungry and was so not excited to not eat any substantial food all day. But I wasnt giving up before I started! I tried waking up extra early to get my juice on before I had to leave for work...and it took me so much longer than I thought it would!! It would be really helpful if we had a really awesome juicer, it kept getting full and would stop working so I had to take it all apart and empty/clean it out like 3 or 4 times. But I finished it all with about 5 minutes to spare!

I made 2 recipes today: (Both were taken from rabbitfoodformybunnyteeth.com)

Rise & Shine
Makes 2 servings

1 grapefruit
2 fuji apples
2 granny smith apples
2 cups of green seedless grapes
10 sprigs of Italian parsley

Green Machine (I doubled this one)
Makes 2 servings

2 green apples
10 carrots
10 leaves kale
2 cups spinach (packed)
1 cucumber (I didn't double the cucumber, I don;t like strong cucumber juice)
2 stalk celery
10 sprigs Italian parsley

Taste Test:
Rise & Shine has way too much grapefruit, i would halve it next time...its really bitter, but if you drink it pretty quickly the shock starts to fade and it starts to taste really good..Not terrible but i would put less grapefruit next time.

Green Machine was the better of the two. I actually like it! Wasn't bad at all..i love carrot juice and since i doubled it, this juice had 20 whole carrots!! So it passed my taste test, hopefully the others i try tomorrow will be just as good!

Emotions: Surprisingly I didnt feel as grumpy as I thought I would! Maybe we should ask everyone I was around all day though. ;-) I wasn't in the best mood all day, but I kept my mind off of the fact I couldnt eat whole foods and I kept myself busy at work and I think I held up a pretty good mood.

Hunger: I did feel pretty hungry at times, but I wasnt by any means starving. I drank a juice for breakfast (way too late though, I need to start earlier), and I had one at my normal lunch and snack time. In between I drank a couple glasses of green tea and drank water to keep me going. Its about 7pm and I am working on serving number 4, so I still have 2 left after this. I was saving up so I wouldnt run out and be starving all night, but now I know I can add one more serving during the day to keep me full. I have had a pretty bad headache all day, and have been having to go to the bathroom nonstop but I think that's pretty normal.

Here's to Day 2!!
