That's right Kiddies, we're rebooting again. Today is day one. We've been prepping for about two weeks now although somewhere in the middle we lost steam. We're back on track today.
We started off the day with:
As you can see it has some Cantaloupe, about half of one to be exact. Somewhere between five and eight stalks of celery, three farmers market carrots, two peaches, a piece of ginger, and some rainbow chard. It was green colored, tasted of cantaloupe, and a very meh sort of juice.
For lunch today we're having Mean Green. As that's what we had items for. And for my dinner I made two baked potatoes, smashed them with almond milk, mixed in a small can of mushrooms, and some garlic, pepper, and salt. I will likely end up having a V8 and some hummus along with it.
We are trying to apply lessons learned last go round to this one. Namely that I cannot function without one solid meal a day, and that I need to make sure I watch my caloric intake. It was too low last time and that led to me feeling really sick. Being a massage therapist and working 20-25 hours a week doing massage means a lot of burned calories!
Other lessons include that I cannot drink 20ozs of juice in one go, stomach won't tolerate it. And that Logician has to have 16-20 oz a serving in order to feel full. Lunches are a bit smaller for him as he generally won't be hungry for dinner otherwise.
I have stocked up on cans of V8, which while it would be better to make it from scratch in the juicer, I seem to have a knack for hating the natural V8 I make. So when I start to feel a little blah, I grab a V8. Since our breakfast juice wasn't that high in calories I have had some V8 this morning, to stave off that hunger/sinus/tension headache monster that is arguing with me.
Off to lunch and work! Blessings!
