In my life I have found that the third day of any major change is the worst, both physically and emotionally. Once you get past that it's much smoother sailing. For me it's been quitting cigarettes, quitting coffee or other caffeine, giving up sugar, going 100% raw, juicing, etc. I've also found 3 to be the magic number in terms of adding back in a bad habit. For instance if I "relapse" on coffee or sugar or whatever, it's no big deal unless I let it happen 3 days in a row. If I do that, then it's all the way back to addiction & it feels difficult to get back out. This is good information to have so you can be prepared. On occasion I've experienced Day 4 to be my "hell day" when juicing. Sadly, this seems to be the case this time.
My energy is really low and I'm super irritable. I've got 4 kids home, husband stayed home today & I have to work 8 hours with the public tonight. I'd prefer to be alone today, to do a little stretching and a lot of reading and sleeping, but no. So I'm giving myself a free pass on the caffeine for starters. My juices haven't been fabulous - I save those my my customers, LOL. But I got myself a grapefruit yesterday so I could reward myself with my favorite juice. I started my day with that - like a quart and a half. I also made an avocado milk with raw honey, vanilla and Greener Grasses in it because I feel so depleted today. Hopefully the calories and fat will ease the stress. If I knew how to make this a Pinterest pin I would.
Favorite juice to start my morning:
1 pineapple
1 red beet
1 apple
1 inch ginger
2 carrots, optional
