Day 3

My juicing slump

Yesterday wasn't a happy day for my poor head.

Here's me thinking 2 months being raw, prior to my juicing feast, would have got all the nasties out of my body. I think not! Then again it could have been the one thing I allowed myself that wasn't raw (yummy freshly brewed coffee). I'd been having 2-3 cups per day the week before when I would normally have 1 a week. I suppose when you think of all the years of not being kind to myself it's going to take most of my 92 days feel cleansed and balanced.



I hadn't truly fathomed how many greens and fruits I would need to buy to last the week. What I would normally get, I've had to go out twice to replenish - which is OK but I've run out again. A bonus though is all these gorgeous eye popping colours and textures on the kitchen counter has got the kids really enjoying them aswell.

More than anything I'm feeling the cold. It's winter still but I don't usually feel the chill on the air like this. The warm water and organic lemons from my next door neighbour definitely puts pink in my cheeks on these frosty mornings.

My head is much better today. It's said that it takes the first 3 days to flush out the toxins enough that you don't have these throbbing beauties anymore. I've been drinking 3 litres of filtered water each day, on top of the juices, to help with the headaches ,and it has.

Not having much left in the kitchen and needing a juice NOW! I blended up the mung bean sprouts that I'd grown with a little water and strained the liquid into some fresh orange juice. Not having the best juicer I didn't think I'd be able to extract enough liquid using that method. Quite nice I must admit. My son Josh just looks at me in despair, shaking his head. I'm always kind enough to offer some but the response I'm expecting is 100% always in the negative (in the nicest possible way of course)!

Saturday is market day, but not being able to wait that long I best head off to the local organic shop and get some supplies or their could be tears and they would definitely be mine.
