First off I must apologize for the lack of blogging. I went out of town for work and truly didn't have a minute to post. And then getting back into the swing of things was just downright hard.
So, after that - what can I say. The juice experiment continues. I seem to be having a lot more salads...but still 1-2 juices a day.
Maybe this post will just be about the general way that I feel and how things have changed. I really am surprised at how not-hungry I am. I thought I would be starving...really. But, it really hasn't been that bad. You can definitely tell my body is getting enough nutrients. And I am hungry at meal times - that is something that is completely different. Many times, I would go to lunch because it was lunchtime - not necessarily because I was hungry. Now, often times, I notice that I'm actually hungry.
I also think that my stomache size has changed. I definitely get full off a salad or a simple sandwich (or even 1/2 of one) which I know is a change from before the great juice experiment....
I also feel a lot more energetic. Truly, I have noticed a difference. My body can tell that I'm inputting much more wholesome and good foods than I was before and I definitely can tell the difference.
I will also put in a plug for organic food. I cannot express how DIFFERENT the fruit and veggies taste. I mean, really - it's surprising how juicy or full of flavor a simple orange or apple or cantaloupe can be. I can tell you that generally speaking, the organic fruit/veggies get overripe much quicker than normal fruit/veggies - so it does make me wonder what they do to keep everything looking so picture perfect for so long.
So all in all - I look at this as a lifestyle change. We are not going to juice forever - but maybe as a body cleanse every now and again. Or when I'm feeling a little underloaded in the nutrient category. We've still got a little over a week to go....so I'll keep you guys more up to date than I have been!
