Day 1

Day 1: So after sleeping in I finally woke up and decided to start my juicing day! So Cory and I made a pit stop at Kroger to go get some veggies and fruits. Then headed on over to Alex and Cody's house to begin juicing. I had a recipe that I found out of the magazine I was reading yesterday at work.

Recipe:
3-4 carrots
1 cucumber
1 small beet
1'' piece of ginger root
1/2 green apple

Cost: $6.79

Breakfast/Lunch: My feelings about this whole recipe were wonderful. However, after making this it was horrid. I think that I put way too much beet and ginger root in there. I wanted to throw up, but Cory made me feel bad so I basically chugged it. Never again will I probably make this recipe. Oh and I cut my finger making this horrid recipe just saying I have to wear a band aid and it is hard to type with it. I really hurt too.



So after that I was STARVING!! Like I literally thought I was going to have to eat Munchie, but I stayed strong and feel asleep on the couch with Cory watching some random movie about communism. Then he woke me up to the wonderful smell of fried chicken. ugh. I wanted that chicken so bad. SO I headed to Aldea (a cheap grocery store) to get some food for my next meal. I found a recipe online but when I got to Aldea they didn't have pears. so I got Apples, Strawberries, blueberries, grapes, and lemons for $14.34. I know this whole juicing thing is getting a little expensive if you ask me. I am not sure if I can make it spending this much and eating this little. Anyways so I got back to Alex and Cody's and made my own recipe.

Anna Liquid:
2 apples
1 lemon
some grapes, blueberries, and strawberries

It was yummy. Kind of just like a fruit smoothie. So then dropped the Cory off to have some guy time with his friend John and headed home still hungry. Once I got home I hopped on the motorcycle and went and got me some carrots and pears. Got home and made the best drink of the day by far. YUMMY IN MY TUMMY!!

Apple Pear:
2 apples
4 pears
10 baby carrots or 3 big carrots

It was banging. I drank like 28 oz of it I made a ton Cory said I needed to make more to feel me up better. Yet, my stomach is growling right now. And I think I need to find the recipe for Mean Green. However, I do feel good about myself. I will admit two things. I stole a taffy, but I gave it to Cory in the car I felt so guilty at the thought of eating it. And once I got home after contemplating for like 20 minutes I had two spoons of ice cream and by spoons I mean tiny. It was horrible right after I put it in my mouth I wanted to cry and vomit. It is kind of how I feel now when I think about eating microwaved food. I feel so guilty and I am sorry. So overall today was a success if you look past the spoon of ice cream and the temptation of taffy. I am proud of myself. I am just worried at how I am going to be able to do this at VI, which by the way is only like 2 days away. I am nervous. I wish I would have found out about this juicing thing like 2 weeks ago I have no clue how I am going to do this at the Bristol Speed Race. Anyways I think it is a good start for me even if I can't do the whole ten days I am happy. Hopefully I can think of someway to continue this throughout the Bristol Race.
