Day 3

So today is my third day of juicing and eating. I've had juice for two meals and two snacks combined with a hearty third meal. 

So far, so good.

So good, in fact that when I woke up this evening the first thing to pop into my head was, "I surely would love to go for a walk."

I woke up wanting to go for a walk.

I woke up wanting to go for a walk.

I have had zero energy for the last few months. You know, that pesky time called winter? Yeah. Zilch when it comes to wanting to do anything. 

So to wake up and think it's a great day for a walk (even though it was 5:30PM and the sun was long-since gone) is an amazing feat.

Thanks juice!

I've been following-ish the free juicing recipes and guidelines from the Reboot with Joe website. I'm using the juices found in his 5-day plan. My favorites so far are Sporty Spice (minus the basil), Carrot Apple Lemon, and Carrot Apple Ginger.

I've learned that I'm not a fan of basil in my juice, I enjoy ginger immensely, and you can massage kale (it makes it taste sweeter!). 

This new juicer is doing well, too. The pulp is a lot drier than the first juicer I had and I'm much happier. Prepping is still taking forever, though.

And don't get me started on the price. 

Well, since you brought it up, my roommate and I spend about $200 on juice for one week. One week!!

Needless to say, that can't happen again. I'm completely broke and there's no money until I get paid again on the 24th. Yikes!

Thanks to Sonnet (she's lovely and a Seattlite! Go read her blog and be awed!) and her recommendations, I've found a CSA farm where I think I will patronage. The Klesick Family Farm is near enough to me that I can go pick up my produce and their prices are fair enough that I won't feel stupid again. They've also got a juicing program with their different assortment of boxes. I can pick one up a week and be set every week. I've also learned there's an organic farm where they raise lamb, beef, chicken, and pork! Ninety Farms is going to be my next stop when I can finally afford to eat meat again. 

I love it when things start to fall into place . . . 

Cheers!
