Reboot/Juicing Prep Days 2 and 3

So I realized I didn't post any pictures yesterday or anything really (I know, you're also wondering about book news, stay posted though it's not much!) regarding the second day of our juicing prep.

So what Logician and I decided to do was thus: We have two juices a day and then dinner as normal. The first day we had our own juice creation for breakfast, I ate left over spicy boiled fish from a local restaurant for lunch while Logician had the last bit of the breakfast juice and then for dinner he had fish and I had the Gazpacho juice.

Note on the Gazpacho it was tasty, however I was lazy and didn't peel the lime which killed it. It was somewhat like torture to drink. But if the lime had been peeled it would have been epic!

I had a hard day Monday. My body was not really enjoying the lack of solid food and I ended up having to eat a little more when I got home simply because I was really on the edge of an irrational emotional meltdown. I had a very small bowl of rice and some Celestial Seasonings Tension Tamer tea and all was well.

So yesterday I woke up feeling sore EVERYWHERE! I was exhausted and grumpy. I got a 90 minute massage which was heavenly and very helpful, and then we had this AMAZING dinner of rice and what we call Indian Hamburger Helper (yes I know, processed food = bad but the ingredients in this one were fairly good) called Tempting Lentils with Sorrel leaves. To which we added a couple tilapia fillets and an AWESOME salad. Seriously food tastes so much better already.

Rebooting

So as a Massage Therapist I come across some awesome clients who are doing a lot to take care of their health. So when a few people around me randomly (without real connection to each other) started Juice Fasts/Cleanses I wanted to find out more.

They all started after seeing the documentary Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead (Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead Website) which then intrigued me to watch it. At first I was just intrigued enough to watch them all complete their goals for time (10 days, 15 days, a month) but opted yesterday to sit down with the Logician and watch the documentary. I was intrigued and he was excited.
