I started out today with herb tea, then baked apples with dried cranberries (this was so good), then impatiently waited for my juicer to arrive. I had a banana and some strawberries while I waited. and waited. and waited. LOL but finally, after having my nose pressed against the window glass, the mail lady came and I met her and a couple of the others who were waiting for their mail. My juicer had arrived!! I brought it into the house and started unpacking... actually, the packaging reminded me of how Apple packages their stuff... I washed everything and started juicing! I have been watching videos on YouTube on the specific juicer I purchased, the Breville Ikon Multi-Speed juicer, model BJE510XL.. This juicer has a 900watt motor and it zips right through kale, ginger, and really hard stuff. It has variable speeds from 1 to 5, 5 being the hardest. I can't even tell you how delicious the Mean Green juice was today. OH YES I CAN.. The Mean Green juice today was so delicious!!!
Later I made a Mean Red juice. LOL.. strawberries, apple, red beet, endive, and I got the celery out but forgot to add it. The main thing, I am told, is to balance the juices as 80% vegetable and 20% fruit. I am not feeling the effects of the juice today, but I probably will tomorrow..
My sleep patterns are starting to change and instead of getting to sleep at 3am and getting up at 11am, I am getting to sleep a little earlier and this morning woke up at 8:30am, refreshed and energized, so I guess I am feeling the effects of the juice in a subtle way.
Each day, I will get with the program more and more. I just got stalled out, waiting for my juicer to arrive, and now that it's here, I have to stock up on some goodies...
This is very exciting!! Plus I am losing some weight. I weigh in every Sunday morning, and last Sunday I had lost 3.8 lbs from the week before.
I know I can be a normal sized person and not overweight and obese. I know I will feel better and be able to move around again. I am hopeful and know if I do the work, I will get the results... If I don't, I won't..
More tomorrow!!!
