Day 10

Sorry it took so long for me to finally write about my Day 10. This was almost the hardest day of the whole cleanse. I felt like I was finally going to have freedom again, so it was an axious yet happy feeling. So happy I did this cleanse! Such an invigorating feeling to accomplish something that you never thought you could. And yes, I plan to do a cleanse again in the near future! Probably only a 5-7 day next time :)

Pineapples
Strawberry
Pear
Mint

 
 
 
 

Spinach
Kale
Carrots
Ginger
Green Apples
 
 
 
Oranges
Spinach
Green Apple
Carrots
 
 
 
Overall, I really loved juicing...And I think I will love it even more just juicing once a day or so :)

Day 7

Wow, I have been juicing for a week now! It feels like it just began. :) Maybe someday I will do the 30 day cleanse. The hardest part is just being available to juice. I have to allow extra time in the morning just to clean the fruits/veggies and prepare the machine, and then cleaning. It does take time. But only 3 days left!

For breakfast...

*Red apples
*Grapes
*Kale
*Spinach

 
Then for lunch...
-apple
-carrots
-celery
-ginger
-lemon
 

 
I only had 2 drinks today...Just the way it worked out. Wish I would've had 3 so my metabolism isn't slowing down...Oh well..3 tomorrow!

Day 6

I can't believe I am almost done! So happy I made the decision to do this juice cleanse. :)

Began with..
*Strawberries
*Raspberries
*pear
*pineapple
*mint leaves
 
 

Super yummy.. Almost like a dessert ;)

Then for lunch I had to cheat and have a Naked Superfood Green Machine. I was at school from 8:30-4:30 so I had to buy something since I wasn't able to make fresh juice :-/  Shouldn't have to do that again.

Then for dinner...

*kale
*spinach
*blackberries
*mint
*granny smith apples(not in the picture)

 
It looks gross, but it is actually one of my favorites so far!
 
So glad I've been able to continue with this cleanse. At this point I am already down 10 pounds. It feels great to lose weight, but it feels great that I am in power of my health, and don't have all the cravings like I was having just a week ago. :)

Day 5

Today was my halfway mark! Suprisingly, the 10 days are going very fast. I'm getting to the point where I am actually enjoying the self control that I have over what I am consuming. I'm hoping I can continue with this motivation once my cleanse is over....

Started off the day with..
-grapefruit
-zucchini
-pears
-celery
 
 
Then for lunch a very green juice...interesting flavors :)
 
 
 
Then for dinner/post workout.....
-spinach
-brocolli
-red apples
-mango
 
Suprisingly it wasn't too bad with the brocolli...Definitely a weird flavor, but the combination made it pretty good.
 
 
Tomorrow is day 6 and I can't believe it's almost over already! Just have to get through this school week.
