Juicing – Day 2

Day 1 was concluded not too bad. There were certainly a couple major challenges which put my will power to test. Especially when I stood by the stove, cooking for the kids and smelling the amazing Ramen noodles loaded with veggies.. man that’s THE thing I couldn’t stop thinking!

But I have to give myself a pad on the shoulders, resisted the urge to finish their bowls for them and lick the pot, I casually packed the leftovers away in a bowl and stowed away in the fridge. I don’t even know why, since I am not going to eat the noodles in near future, and the kids won’t be here today…

Bed time was easy too. I was so tired finishing up my blogs, I literally dozed off twice writing the last paragraph.

It’s 9:33 am on day 2. I am already done with my 16 oz morning juice breakfast. I filled up a water bottle with the green goodness, this is my task for today. Drink this whole thing, and tons of water. This time the juice is a bit spicier since I added cayenne pepper. It’s quite satisfying. I gotta say, I haven’t really felt  hunger much. In the morning, I also drank a bottle of water, and just out of habit, got a tall Starbucks with soy milk. Yep, no dairy in this cleanse / fast. Strangely, I took one sip, it still tastes like good old life blood, but I wasn’t really craving it. Normally I’d down that tall coffee in minutes, but this time, after about 3 hours, the cup is still sitting on the counter, I probably only drank 20%.

Lunch time, I cooked roasted veggies and simply boiled ribs for the family. Made widely popular letter pasta soup for the kids too. During the process, I also successfully sliced my pinkie, which haven’t happened for years. Ha. But amazingly, I didn’t have to pull much will power to fight against food, I was simply not hungry.

I know I know, my body can’t keep going without food, right? But if you think about it, the amount of nutrient in one cup of juice came from tons of vegetables. All 3 trillion cells in my body are super happy! Amazingly they don’t even get distracted by the amazing aroma in the house! Either way, just out of habit, and old mentality, I took one small banana. Small bites, and liquefied the banana in my mouth before swallowing it, so my stomach doesn’t really need to get activated again to digest.

So far so good! Day 2 is almost over, and tons of water and I will move on to drink a couple sips of store-bought 100% carrot juice before calling it a day.

Good night y’all!
