Day 3 no cheating

Day three was pretty easy actually ... I had the day off. That fact alone makes juicing easier! So it was nice.


The boyfriend had work though and I got up and made his drinks; one for breakfast and one for lunch.


Carrots, apples and celery for breakfast. Then cucumber, spinach, carrots and apples for lunch. He said that they were both delicious and filling, but he ended up working later than planned and was starving because he drank his lunch so early. He said he wandered into DuaneReade intent on cheating on our juice diet. With two dollars in his pocket, he stormed into the store looking for the cheapest, crappy, and most filling food as possible. He spotted it!! Two giant bags of gorilla chips - two for $1 and salsa for a dollar!!! DONE!!! He grabbed the bags and charged for the register. While waiting to play a song that had some reference to cheating was playing on the announcement system. He sighed and with great sorrow, he returned the bags to the shelve. He sat down and read men's health. I'm proud of his resolve. This has not been an easy challenge for us.


I sat at home and did nothing - well, a couple loads of laundry... But really nothing.


I had attempted a new juice with tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, celery and some spinach for dinner. I don't know why, but it was terrible! I finished my 16 ounces and had a lot of water with lemon to wash down the after taste. When the boyfriend got home he was exhausted. He sat down and definitely looked a little faint; I could tell his body was hungry. He took about an hour nap and attempted, as a good boyfriend should, my terrible attempt at dinner juice. He sipped it and then drained it- it was a little too thick still. Then tried it again, to no avail. At this point I dumped it and offered our "backup plan" that we purchased at target - MeanGreen jive by Naked. A great product and served it's purpose well. He drank it down and immediately looked and felt better.


This is a challenging experience for us both, but we are stronger already because of it.


(day 4 preview, lol, he got up earlier and made my breakfast and lunch! He's so sweet!!)
