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 9

Can't believe it is Day 9. Feels like this has just become my lifestyle....Very excited to transition back into normal and healthy foods. Hopefully I will continue to juice once a day. :)

Breakfast...
-Oranges
-Carrots
-Ginger

 

 

For lunch...

-pineapple

-squash

-blueberry

 

Let me just say this was not one of my favorites...Sounds interesting but wasn't amazing. lol

 

Then to finish the night off...

-Spinach

-Kale

-Kiwi

-Apples

-Ginger

 

 

So excited that tomorrow is the last day! But I am sure I will do this again in the future :) Tomorrow is gonna be rough since I have to work..So I'll be bringing a drink for lunch :-/

Day 8

Wow, it is Day 8! Only 2 days left....I'm excited, but scared to end the cleanse. I just want to continue with clean eating, and staying healthy. :) I'm planning to juice in the morning more often, to substitute for coffee (which is my normal routine).

Started off the day with...
*Pineapple
*Blueberries
*Spinach

 

Continued with...

*Spinach

*Cucumber

*Mango

*Pears

 

And for dinner...

*Grapes

*Pears

*Cucumber

*Celery

 

 

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.

 

Day 4

Today was day 4 of the cleanse. Yes the cleanse has been challenging, your self control is really at test...It is a great feeling to be able to pass up those temptations and continue on. :)

Morning juice

 

 

 

 -granny smiths
-lemon
-carrots
-ginger

 

 

 

Then next I had to take my juice to work again....

-spinach

-carrots

-apples

-ginger

 

Went shopping again....My refrigerator is getting taken over....lol

 

 

 

And my countertop....

 

 
Then finally for dinner....
-apples
-celery
-spinach
-ginger

 

It turned out pretty tasty. Tomorrow will be my halfway point. Wooo

Day 3

So many people said that the first 3 days are the hardest....I actually had a different experience. I felt like I am so motivated to accomplish 10 days, the first 3 were just stepping stones to continue. I didn't have any headaches, aches and pains, or anything too bad. Whenever I felt a little hunger pain coming on, I would drink a huge a lot of water. Over the last couple days I've tried very hard to make sure I'm drinking about a gallon of water a day. I can tell that is helping with any urges to stray from the cleanse. :)  

The first meal I had was..
-carrots
-apples
-strawberries

I thought I took pictures of this one but I guess not??

Then next I had...

-a couple pears
-orange
-spinach

 

 

I had to take my 2 juices to work, so I put them in these little air tight containers (They came with my magic bullet).

 

Then for dinner I thought I 'd try something extra different and healthy....

 

 

It turned out very pretty, but....tasted like dirt! :( So I ended up making another juice after this since this one was not even tolerable. Haha.

So then I ended up making
-carrots
-apples
-strawberries,  which tasted much better. :)

 

Overall, I've dropped some pounds/inches these last couple few days, so I'm excited to see how the rest of the cleanse goes!

Day 2

So I'm writing this 2 days later, because I didn't have time to update...But this day went well. It was a busy day, so I wasn't really thinking about food (which was good).

Started off with a yummy juice...
-Strawberries
-pineapple
-mint leaves
-pear

 

And I only ended up having 2 juices today :( But the 2nd one was this..

-Apple

-Carrot

-Celery

-Ginger

 

I decided by adding a little inch of ginger can really make it taste good ;)
