I knew from watching the tracking information that my juicer would be here today. I have been extremely anxious to start my reboot, so I did not eat/drink anything until the mail got here so today could officially be my day 1...
You have no idea how excited I was to see the mailman bring up my package. Of course with it being Monday the mail shows up much later than it does on any other day... so it was a little after noon.
Before the mail was here I prepared my fruits and veggies. I was planning on making the "Green Lemonade." I quickly unwrapped the packaging, rinsed it off, and set it up and I was up and running!
I have NEVER juiced anything in my life so I wanted to taste what a apple juice really tasted like. Seriously... I couldn't believe how flavorful it was. I could never drink a bottled apple juice again, NO LIE. I gave a little to the kids, and they were just as excited as I was to try it...
So I did eventually make the "Green Lemonade" which is made up of:
1 apple
3 handfuls of spinach
6-8 Kale leaves
1/2 a cucumber
4 celery stalks
1/2 lemon
As I was drinking it I thought it might have even tasted great blended with ice.... maybe next time.... :)
Needless to say, so far - things are good.
The evening is always the toughest for me, so we will have to see how pleasant my husband thinks I am after making dinner for the family, and juicing for myself... I must admit though, I really feel like this is something I want to stick to....
Oh, and one other thing... Someone suggested to me that I should take before and after pictures.... so I do have some before pictures from today..... (the official side view, front, and back...)
Later!
