with a rumbling in my tummy

I owned day 1. I juiced. I swam. I wrote. I read. I worked. I I played with my baby. I loved it.

Some moments I felt my stomach growling and most moments I just wanted something smothered in cheese or gravy, but I did feel fairly satisfied. 

Day 2, I'm feeling a little rough-- more on that next time.

Here's a recap of my juice fast reset day 1:

Keep in mind, all of these juices are for 2 people. That's right-- my husband, Josh, is embarking on this journey with me. 

Morning juice: 

2 oranges, peeled

1/2 lemon, peeled

2 mangoes, chunked

2 apples, seeded

2 handfuls spring mix lettuce

2 strawberries

[Yum! Sweet and fruity and delicious!]

Mid-morning snack:

chia seeds gelatinized in strawberry juice 

[This was so good, kind of like a mix between strawberry jello and jelly.]

Afternoon juice:

4 sweet potatoes

4 small cucumbers

4 apples, seeded

4 handfuls spring mix lettuce

2 kiwis

1 orange, peeled

1/2 lemon, peeled

[Again, delicious. The sweet potatoes here add a thickness that made this juice more like a smoothie.]

Evening juice:

3 carrots

4 apples, seeded

1 in. pice of ginger

3 cloves of garlic

3 handfuls spring mix lettuce

[This proved an interesting mix of sweet and savory. I enjoyed it, but later I will opt for more greens, no ginger and more garlic. Mmmm, garlic.]

I'm going to try for more pictures in future blogs, but honestly not many of these juices look all that appealing, especially fresh out of the juicer. I'm using Breville's Juice Fountain Compact, and am very satisfied with it so far. 

Oh, and here's the transparent part I promised... my stats. 

*deep breath*

On day 1, at 5'8" this is it:

Weight: 187.2

Bust: 38"

Chest: 33"

Waist: 32"

Low waist: 40"

Hips: 44"

Thigh: 26.5"

Calves: 16"

Upper arm: 13"

Forearm: 10"

Neck: 14"

And that's after a day and a half of only fresh, raw fruits and vegetables. Typing that was not fun. Here's hoping that part will get more fun as we progress! 

Shine on,
