The Great Juice Experiment - Day 2

8:00am
Felt great when I woke up this morning.  Not hungry at all, which was strange because my stomach was rumbling at 3:00am.  I did sleep pretty well though.  Drank a big glass of orange, grapefruit, carrot and ginger juice and headed of to a 9:30 yoga class.  Yoga was just what I needed, I felt focused and strong and happy.

After yoga drove to Sunshine's house to bid her a farewell (sniff, sniff). Then drove home, crying the whole way.

12:00pm
Got home to Mr. X making an amazing green juice with collards, kale, cucumber, celery, carrot, red pepper and lemon!  That was a nice surprise!  It was delicious and filling and just what I needed. The kids were dressed, they had already been to the farmers' market and everyone was happily playing.  Gotta love Mr. X!

3:00pm
The afternoon food cravings have officially set in and I swear I could eat every corn chip and pretzel in the basket on top of the fridge.  I am STARVING here people.  And officially angry.  Not at anyone, more at myself for thinking this would be a good idea.  Deep breathing, deep breathing. Things get so bad that I actually SNIFF the empty Frito bag that Primo left laying on the couch.  I have really sunk to a whole new low.  Who does that???

3:30pm
Watermelon, blueberry and lime juice!  Very tasty.  But veggie Pad Thai would be even tastier!

4:30pm
I decided it would be a great idea to get out of the house and go to the mall.  Wrong!  It was just a plethora of sights and smells that only put me in a much worse mood.  As I'm sitting in the food court watching Primo gnaw his way through a Subway sandwich and Segundo smear his face with pizza sauce, I thought I might pass out.  I hadn't had enough juice today and now I was paying for it.

6:45pm
Got home, ran to the juicer and threw everything but the kitchen sink in it.  I really thought I might cave at that moment and grab that bag of pretzels and hummus.  But instead I choked down yet another green juice.  I'll put it out there right now, I don't know if I can go through another day of this. The Great Juice Experiment may be over as soon as tomorrow.  We'll see how I feel in the morning.

I have nothing witty to say.  I'm just too damn hungry.

Peace and love.
