Juice Feast Day 2

Weight: 287.2 (after 16 oz of juice).

I feel good, getting up this morning was not a problem.

I picked up a couple of paint strainers today and was able to "filter" the juice, and remove a fair amount of fiber. It was easy, just took a little time. I got a lot more juice than I would get from a juicer, and a very nice cake of fiber left over.

Juice:
1 Beet
1 spears of Collard greens
2 cups spinach
2 C carrots
1 bannana
2 apples
1 cucumber (lots of juice)
1 Grapefruit
1 Orange

Very earthy, but it is really tasty. The beet is pretty sweet, the only downside is that it is bright purple and stains everything. I guess the green would stain things too so I have not lost much.

Everyone else had a hard time stomaching the beet.

Today was good I feel good, I drank about 32 oz of juice today.  Had a twinge of a headache in the evening. Energy was great until about 10:00. We had a family night and watched a movie, and then had to get the kids to bed quick, and then I crashed...good since I have to be up at 6:00 am so I need the sleep.

Dinner was the kind of thing I would love, Tater Tot Caserole. I expected it to be harder than it was but I sat at the table and we talked like normal. It looked really good but I was not dying to eat it. I felt like I had a lot of control over myself.


Finished the day with a desert juice,
2 apples
1.5 C carrots
2 inches of ginger...
Oh it was soooooooo good. Great for relaxing and watching the movie with the kids.

Nice day 2, no big pains, I expected it to be worse than it was so I feel like I am ahead of the game.
