My 7 days of juicing!

Ok so for some some strange reason i haven't blogged about my 7 days of juicing. So let me being you upto date.
The weekend before i was in Penicuick, and had a family party which was great fun :) Has some cider and ofcourse there was plenty of food, cakes etc. So on Monday i was more then ready to get started with my juicing and detox my body of all the bad things (why is it that things that aren't that good for you taste so yummy?) I've been shovelling into my mouth, not only that weekend but my whole life.
About two weeks before i started my 7 day juice, i already had started juicing 2-4 times a day, so that i kinda eased into doing it the full 7 days.
I got "lose 7lbs in 7 days" by Jason Vale and read it from beginning to end. Also made a chart for myself which told which juices to drink every day.
So Monday came and it was time to begin.
The first day wasn't that bad, i felt pretty good at the end of the day. So day 2 i started to feel my energy levels go up. Had a small headache tho which lasted all through the week. I think it was because of all the toxins leaving my body. On day 3 i got breakouts on my face, which again i blame on the toxins leaving me. My energy levels were still up during the day, then on day 4 i started to feel kinda tired and started sleeping 12 hours... They say that the first 3 days are the hardest but i found that on day 4 i really started to have cravings for pasta and chocolate (no surprise there,i had that time of the month.. ) but i decided to be a good girl and had some soup instead. So on day 5 it was Friday and i was feeling a bit sluggish and still had a small headache.. Then it was finally weekend yay! And decided that i would have soup with some grilled chicken breast and pita`s, which was lovely!
So this morning 7 days after i started i can gladly say that I've lost 3 kilos/7 pounds and 15cm/5 inches this week :)
I defo am gonna continue with juices during the day and having a soup/salad/wrap/inset other healthy meal in the evening.
And that's you all upto date again hihi

It tastes creamy and fruity, so perfect for me:)

This morning i had some Morning Glory

So this morning for breakfast i had my juice called Morning Glory, slightly changed the recipe tho... This time i did use 1 cucumber and thankfully i did not taste any, seeing as i really don't like cucumber! But back to the juice, it was much yummier then it looked again.. (see a theme developing here.. :p ) i already do feel better for having lots of fruit and veggies then my usual choccy cereal. Still it's strange not having to chew anything :) Looking forward trying more juicing recipes.

Morning Glory:
2 apples
1 cucumber
1c blue berries
2c grapes (i used 1 orange)
4 kale leaves (i used handful spinach)
1" ginger

My first juice and its The Mean Green...

After one of my friends done a 7day juice fast and she was so positive about i decided to look into juicing. I found this website http://www.justonjuice.com/7-day-juice-fast-plan/ So i have decided to give juicing a go.
 After ordering all my fruit and veggies online, i decided to order my juicer... Whoops should have done that the other way around!
Found out the juicer i wanted was out of stock everywhere, but thankfully i was able today to borrow a juicer!
But i won't say that today is my day one because i had my cereal and sandwich today before i picked up the juicer. Also will have a family dinner Friday and a bday Saturday so my 5 day juice fast will start on Sunday. I still will juice instead of eat when possible so i still feel like I'm being more healthy :)

But anyway i happily prepared my veggies and fruit for my first juice The Mean Green.
4 celery sticks
1/5 cucumber but will do a whole one next time as the recipe says...
1 granny Smith
1/4 peeled lemon
Handful of spinach
1" peeled ginger.

So that all go in the juicer and voila i had a mean greenie :p
And it actually tasted much better then it looked! Chris also had a taste and he quit liked it :)
So that's the story on my first juice, stay tuned for more.. hihi
