FLU...Not.Cool.

I have the flu...and a sinus infection...and yesterday I was pretty sure I needed to be put out of my misery. I drank no juice...no smoothie...water and sprite. But I survived thanks to the doc and the 2 shots he gave me and all the meds he prescribed. Still feeling awful today...but less deathlike. I've made myself a yummy juice this morning of blueberries, raspberries, oranges adn ginger(bleh...ginger and I are not friends...so it was the teeny tiniest little bit of ginger)...I figured the vitamin C would be good for me. I also weighed...I've lost 3 more pounds...which may not count since I've been sick...but I take my losses where I can! :)

Also, I've learned that my blending is somewhat frowned upon in the juicing community. I did not know this until I jouned a group for juicers the other day...they were not exactly happy with my blending choice...basically told me I was tempting all of them to blend..blahblahblahblah. So if you are wanting any info on "true" juicing...apparently I'm not the person to ask...me and my negative 8 pound self. LOL

Anywho...here's picture of my breakfast...

I'm going back to bed...

3rd Day is a Charm...

So I made it through day two...decided not to add protein powder because the idea is to cleanse the body of all the junk and I've got plenty of junk to cleanse...plus if I did add the protien powder I'd always wonder what would have happened if I hadn't. The hunger went away eventually...I drank a ton of water yesterday and that seemed to help. This morning I stepped on the scales and the most amazing thing has happened...I'VE LOST 5 POUNDS!!!! Very excited about that!!!!

This is what my breakfast looked like before. This morning I'm having carrot, celery, pineapple juice.

And this is after it's all blended up. I have to say it's very yummy! And as you can see, if you are a person who's on the go...or like me slow starting in the morning...you can buy fruits and veggies that are already cut up to make things quicker and more convenient.

Oh, also I wanted to clarify something. I'm not using a juicer. My juicer is messed up. I'm using a blender, and I've discovered I like it much better. The clean up is easier and I feel like I'm getting more of the fiber from my fruits and veggies, plus I like the texture of my juices...it's more pulpy and more filling.

Cheers!!!!
