Day 3: Minor change.... For now

Well day three is coming to an end and I can say that I will have some energy remaining to catch up on some of the homework I am falling behind on.  But.... That doesn't come without some changes in the "challenge." 

Today was pretty rough at first and after my first juice I nearly threw up at the thought of having to drink more juice for lunch.  I find this "juicing" challenge extremely difficult since I am not a real "sweets" sort of person.  Granted I don't have to make all of my juices sweet but leafy greens alone might not stay down for too long. 

I find myself feeling like something is missing.  (of course all the junk food, but besides that...)  I really enjoy cooking for my family and eating with them.  I find pleasure in making sure the food is cooked just right for my husband, kids or Dad.  With as much prep that I have to do for my own juice or avocado wraps I can't make something special for the family. 

At around 4pm I asked my Dad what he was thinking about for dinner jokingly of course.  I did say to him though that I had only had one juice the whole day, and I was avoiding drinking anything else because I was just too sick.  I threw out a suggestion out making a veggie salad and using a preservative free dressing with 2 slices of Ezekiell (sprouted) bread & hummus .  Eventually, my Dad agreed as long as he could have a little chicken in his salad.  

So we ate dinner (with some guilt) but decided to amend the rules a little bit.  We still have to juice for breakfast and lunch...  We can eat a regular dinner if we'd like but I'd really like to try to stay as "raw" as possible. 

I should have only ate one slice of bread.... lesson learned...

I'm not sure I feel good about the bending of the rules, but in all honesty - there is no way I could make it to day 10 while taking care of my lil ones and college homework/reading without the potential of my husband divorcing me.  I may attempt the 100% juicing thing again in the future (early July) since my summer classes will be done by then.

I still love my juicer. 
I still intend to blog
- but really need to learn how to add pictures on to this thing...
