Day 5

I think we're all going to be just fine. This morning I made us some so delicious juice. I didnt follow a recipe but it was something like this: 

1 banana

2 apples

1 orange

1 kiwi

1 pear

30ish mint leaves

1 C Italian parsley

2-3 C coconut water

1 Tbsp honey

2 Tbsp Flax seed oil

It was green and SO yummy! I took it to work and everyone was asking what was with the juice. Pretty sure my boss thinks I'm nuts. She gave me this "why the hell would you do that?" look and then said exactly that. I told her I was up for the challenge. 

People keep asking me how it's going. It's such a great conversation starter (for me) into all the healthy benefits of fruits and veggies. I still dont feel like I have a solid reason "why" I'm juicing. Mostly because I know it's good for me. I'm not hurting myself, or depriving myself of protein. In fact, short of the not-getting-enough-sleep syndrome, I actually feel pretty great!!! Today was probably the first day I felt 100% normal all day. 

I need to work out better options for lunch. Today I was supposed to go to the gym with a coworker at lunch, and neither of us had a car (we both carpool from time to time), so that fell through. And with it my plan to swing by Jamba Juice for lunch. I tapped into the Hubs for lunch and he was busy again today as well....meetings meetings meetings......

I brought lots of carrots, avocado and a pear with me, so I didnt really starve, but I should be eating more throughout the day. I did however get in about 60 ounces of water before I even left the office! YAY ME! 

As it is Tuesday, it's typically our weekly trip to the movies. I hit up my sister (because she usually goes with us) to ask her what she wanted to see. As it was her birthday yesterday and she's been celebrating since Friday night, she opted to stay home. Rob and I decided we were going to go to Whole Foods for dinner and then head home ourselves. Try for a movie another night and see what happens. 

Whole Foods is such an amazing store. I love the layout, the feel, everything about it except 2 things:

1. they gave in to Montsanto (SUPER FAIL) Want to know more about what is going on with Montsanto and GMO's? Check this out here. 
2. their prices are pretty spendy

Because of these 2 things I dont typically spend a lot of time there, but tonight, it was so nice to not have to prepare food. I know that sounds so lazy, but coming from someone who has spent the better part of the last 7 months eating out for almost every meal, it's saying something. 

We grabbed some more groceries and started to head home. About half way home I started developing a headache. It's still in the developing stages...hurts for a minute and then gone again. I could be just over tired. Both of us are pretty wiped out. 

I could also still be detoxing....probably just tired. 

Today Reboot reminded me of the problems of constipation and diarrhea. I dont like to make a habit of talking about shit outside of dinner, mixed company, family, etc, so I'm going to spare you most of it. The short version is stay hydrated and move around. 

Time to watch some Six Feet Under and head to bed! Until tomorrow :)
