day 2 - very hungry

I am very hungry as of now for sure.

Breakfast was 1 peach and 1 apple. That put me in a 5 hour fasting period. The taste was actually very good for a morning drink. I haven't had that stuff for years. In the past, most of my breakfast was associated with Oat meal and perhaps some eggs. Well, certainly, I miss all of those good and fatty stuff for sure.

Lunch was kind of veggieish style. @1pm, I made a juice with 1 cucumber, 1 tomato, 2 carrots, 1 piece of celery, a hand full of broccoli. Taste was pretty bad for the first time. Surprisingly, my daughter loved it and had 3 oz of it.

As of now, I am starving again. In just a few minutes I am going to make a melon juice for a change.

For the record, I do feel a little bit lighter and cleaner. Since last night, my bowl movement was very irregular as I expected. It is detoxing the system I believe. We will see.

3 cups of water melon with seedless grapes juice were created and drank by me any my wife. That felt pretty good.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that my wife and I both are on this juicing task now.

Dinner was horrible indeed! The reason was that the juice was 95% made from veggies only 1 orange was mixed. A lots of green veggies such as spinach, celery, broccoli and red radishes.

Before dinner I took Miah to the Seaview park for a little walk. The first time I can smell different scent from the woods. I guess perhaps the juices are working. The late afternoon sunshine from the west was very nice. It was not hot at all and feeling very much charged.

Another day is gone....

day 1 - getting veggies and fruits

Costco is one of the best places to get fresh stuff with low cost. Buying bulk is our objective for this task. The items below are the first round. Hopefully they can last for a week.

6 lbs of apples
6 lbs of watermelon
3 lbs of lettuces
3 cucumbers
6 lbs of tomatoes
3 lbs of seedless grapes
3 lbs of broccoli
10 lbs of carrots
3 lbs of almonds
3 lbs of sweet melon

My breakfast was a pure peach juice. 3 peaches were juiced to 600ml of fresh liquid. That is pretty good. The taste was delicious for a morning drink. No coffee, no any other stuff, just 400ml of peach juice. That was taken at 9am.

Lunch was simple, 3 tomatoes, and hand full seedless grapes, 6 cups of lettuces, 4 red radishes, 4 carrots, 1 piece of celery, that is it! 800ml of juice came out of the newly bought Jack juicer. By the way, the one we bought from Macy's yesterday was Brevile, which is good in a way but a bit over priced. We are going to return the Brevile and keep the Jack Lalanne for the value. Well, this lunch was taken at 2pm after we finished our costco run.

@5pm, I felt pretty hungry. Instead of jumping on any snacks in our pantry, we made another drink. This time, only a hand full broccoli and 3 carrots. Taste was ok, a bit veggieish but we can live with that.

Well, let's see how long can we hold until our next meal (drink).

Juicing up for a chance --- warm up

I bought a Brevile Juicer from Macy's. It's got 870 watts power with stainless steel parts. It is good enough for daily juicing tasks for sure.

3 hours later, the first half litter juice was created. Below is the ingredients for this warm up.

- 3 tomatoes
- 1 peach
- 6 cherries
- 1 strip of celery
- 4 red radishes
- 3 white mushrooms
- 1 cup of spinach

Juiced these up for 1 minute and served for 4 cups.

Nothing has changed since I finished the drink.
