Day 3 trial and error

On day 2 I made my version of the "Mean Green Juice" needed another apple but I did it and as reported in the video you will be in the bathroom in 30 minutes so plan for this! :)  Apparently this doesn't happen to those who have had a semi-healthy diet...

Last night I decided I needed food.  Instead of going to my online menu which has been my mainstay I steamed some broccoli and had a cup of Miso soup, yummy!  I then made a fantastic new juice (because I love experimenting). 
2 granny smith apples
2 pears
1 small lemon
Strawberries, about 1 pint
1/2 a bag of baby spinach
2 carrots 
1 cucumber
4 stalks of celery
Way yummy and it made 64 oz.  Taste tester at work today loved it.  Certainly needs more greens and I will work on that.

I am amazed that other than a headache from caffeine  withdrawal I feel really energized.  Of course being a night nurse for many years I am weaning myself off of the coffee but it is still killing me! :)  I really don't feel hungry but hate it when I go to work in the morning and the first thing I smell is bacon....my ultimate downfall!

I haven't weighed again and don't plan to until Friday or Saturday.  Time to put a new battery in the scale and find the pesky measuring tape that I hope will become my new bestie!

Don't forget your water!  I will try to attach Joe Cross's video on making mean green here, but don't expect miracles!
