Days 2 and 3

Ok, so days 2 and 3 were not so good on what I will rename as the "Green Machine".  They were completely CRAZY days!  Day 2 I only managed to drink 8 oz. and yesterday i didn't make the smoothie at all...  But today I am back on the bandwagon!

What I've noticed in just the couple of days of drinking the stuff...  I did have a little more energy and motivation to get things done.  Also, my urine smelled REALLY bad in the 2 days of drinking it!  Yesterday it was back to normal.  I am no doctor or health professional but I am attributing this to many of the toxins being cleansed for my body.

Now please keep in mind that I am just adding this to my day instead of changing anything.  So, I still have my "old" diet with this on top.  But I've also noticed just making that one little change has made me re-think decisions throughout the day. 

Have a great day!

I did it!

Woo hoo!  I smashed my goal!  I drank all 32 ounces yesterday!  And I had so much more energy and get up n' go.  I don't  know if it was the drink or the motivation of having my in-laws here this weekend :-)

I'm half way through my first glass this morning.  It really is a taste that you just become used to.  It's a salad in a cup!

My goal today is 16 ounces.  And we're gearing up for "O" week (Ovulation) here... 

The "Concoction"

Yesterday was a great day!  We went to Whole Foods to get all of the "supplies" for my new morning routine.  It's one of my friend calls it the "cancer-fighting concoction".  Here it is:

5 cups water
1/2 avocado
1/2 apple

3 handfuls of baby greens or spinach
1 cup broccoli
1 cup lentil or mung bean sprouts (or both)
1 handful of sunflower sprouts
1 handful of buckwheat lettuce sprouts
1 tbsp dulse or kelp
dab of stevia

This is supposed to make 64 oz. and you are supposed to drink it all by noon!  I only made half this morning.  Let's be honest, it's a shock to my tastebuds!  It's something to get used to.  Not great but not good.  I may add in a mango for taste...

I am willing to commit to drinking at least 8oz. today.  And then we can work up from there.  

 

Small steps!
