Soooo. Day 1 is over. Thank God. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed juicing and nothing was particularly different about what I ate but that gallon of water... man. Whose idea was that!? Mine? Oh.
To be fair, I didn't start on my gallon til about 5pm. It is now 11:36 and I kid you not, I have been to the bathroom about 12 times. This is ridiculous. Luckily, I was at home but OMG! What if I started earlier!?! My poor bladder! Oh well.
The green smoothies were incredible. No surprise there. My morning smoothie included Spinach, Squash Pineapples, Kiwi, Papaya, Goji Berries and Chia Seeds. Initially, before I added the Pineapples it was not a pleasant taste at all. BLEH. I think it may have been the squash. But that's the beauty and fun with juicing... if you don't like it at first you can keep experimenting, adding fruits or whatever you like til you reach your desired flavor.
And of course when I got off work I had to make my happy hour drink:) Spinach, Strawberries, Pineapple, Kiwi and Cashews... DELICIOUS!
For dinner I made a vegetable stir-fry comprised of beets, corn, carrots, broccoli, squash, and a mix of onions and hot peppers. Len cut up some avocado slices on the side and our meal was complete! While it was great, perhaps my eyes were bigger than my stomach because I WAS SO STUFFED! I was stuffed to the point that I was uncomfortable... it was painful!! I didn't even go to the gym tonight for my 30 mins of cardio!
I think for tomorrow I will try to do an early morning workout and DEFINITELY start on my water earlier in the day!!
How is your challenge going?
You were going to the bathroom like me! Lol.
