Today was a really good day. When I weighed myself this morning, I happily saw that I've lost 4lbs. I got so excited that I made juice for half an hour. I made so much that didn't have to juice for the rest of the day. It was my standard mix: kale, spinach, beets, carrots, strawberries, blueberries, apples, pears, lemon, and grapes. I like to lay everything out in rainbow color order and look at it before putting it all in the juicer. I get a weird satisfaction out of doing that.
For lunch, I had some of the left over juice/soup from last night and some of the juice I made this morning. The soup was perfect, except for the fact that I went crazy with the jalapeno when I was making the soup last night. It was SO spicy hot that my throat was on fire! Don't get me wrong...the initial taste of the soup was great...but once the soup went down, I swear I could feel the burning sensation all the way down my esophagus, LOL.
I'm excited about going through this process. I'm making juice for my husband once a day, too. He's been really cool about the juicing. When he saw how committed I was to juicing, he got me the Breville Juice and Blend as an early Christmas present. Now, the new juicer is benefiting everyone in our house. I'm also making juice for my children this time around. My kids even ask for it, which makes me feel great, because they see it as a treat. This time around, I'm also doing the reboot with a friend. It's her first time doing a reboot, so it feels brand new to me again.
The only drawback of doing the reboot again is that I miss cooking and trying new foods. I'm already thinking about the recipes I'm going to try once I'm eating solid foods again.
