10 Days of Juicing

I did it!  I did not chew any food for 10 days!  It has been time consuming and difficult.  A lot of talks with my Heavenly Father who I know is in control.  Day 9 and 10 my headache went way down!  I had two nice days and I am thankful.  Another huge blessing is that my energy is at a more functional state.  I had other changes like clearer skin, joints not as achy, pulled pectoral muscle is barely hurting anymore, and my favorite....five pounds lost.
This morning I enjoyed eating watermelon and cantaloupe.  My snack was the best as I sank my teeth into strawberries and bananas.  Yummo!  I am still juicing my vegetables as that is the only way you are going to get them into my body (other then Juice Plus of course).  Tomorrow I add nuts and seeds.  Almond butter here I come!

Creation Class and Museum Tour

We had the wonderful opportunity to hear Lanny Johnson from Alpah Omega Institute speak on creation.  Then we got to tour a history museum with him.

My First Full Day

Since Thursday I've been drinking bunches of fruits and veggies.  Today is the first day I have only consumed juice.  I am doing what is called a "reboot."  I am going to try to do this for up to 10 days!  I am thinking I should have my first goal at 5.  Right now I am drinking ...
ABCs
2 pears
2 apples
1 beet
1 cup cabbage
3/4 leaves of green chard

Not my favorite.  My favorite so far was a mixture of apples, cantaloupe, honeydew, kale and chard.  Probably  because it didn't have a distinct taste of dirt like I am drinking now; it's the beet.  Yuck!

For more info. go to fatsickandnearlydead.com    If you go to their sight about juicing be careful.  It's been having a hard time and my spyware had to stop me on certain pages.  Hopefully they will have it fixed soon.

Juicing

 

As you can see I bought a bunch of produce.  Those that know me, know that half of the produce sitting on my counter is not appealing to me at all!  I do know that they are good for me.  So I am going to start juicing.  

I was able to finish my first meal.  Not the greatest tasting, but I did it!   

Apple, Beet, Carrot Juice

1 apple

2 beets

3 large carrots

1 piece of ginger

4 cups spinach/kale

Thanks to Missy for letting me borrow her juicer.

First Violin Lesson

Madi has been saving her money to do something.  She was thinking of dance or basketball.  Then she decided she wanted to take violin lessons.  I waited awhile to make sure she wasn't going to change her mind.  She never did.            

The big cost would be renting a violin as mine would be too big for her.  Emma's friend's family owns violins and is letting Madi borrow one!  Then found out that the oldest daughter teaches lessons!  Today was her first lesson.
