Day 2 Juice Cleanse: Gettin' in the Groove

On Day 2, things are going much more smoothly. A friend, whom I will be ever grateful to, has lent us a much newer juicer than our 50 year-old model and it makes juicing a pleasure.

Yesterday we both didn't eat enough, and today we're hungrier, so although we likely won't get 5 juices in today, I for sure will do one more. I missed a really good one yesterday, so don't want to be left out again.

I had a bad headache this morning, but as soon as I had my first juice it was gone. I'm feeling quite good today. I went out to a book club meeting this morning and brought a juice along, but didn't end up drinking it because I wasn't hungry until it was ending. Then, by the time I picked up the new juicer and got home, I was VERY hungry. Thank goodness all I had to do was pour and drink.

I love my glass! It says it all.

I had the juice with beets in it earlier this afternoon and this time added much more lemon and much more ginger. Absolutely my favourite so far. We're both really pleased with how good the juices taste. I started adding parsley and beet greens as well into the green juices.

A couple of interesting things:

I'm colder — maybe my metabolism is slowing down because my body isn't working so hard to digest?

I'm also tired a bit. About an hour or so after I drink my juice I just want to sleep.

But best news! Because my body isn't having to work so hard to digest, I am virtually gas free! Yay!

I've also been pushing myself to take a little exercise each day. Just taking my dog for a walk, but lately I haven't always been doing that. Went out in the strong winds today. I love a good windy day when it's not freezing, freezing cold!

Supposed to go back to very cold temps tomorrow, which should be interesting, considering that we feel cold even today when it's so warm.

Tomorrow juices will be different. Looking forward!
