Day 11 - Oranges are better in juice

Well everyone, yesterdays juice was a little messed up, as is today's. Fortunately, today's juice is not as bad as yesterdays was. I added some orange to my smoothie yesterday and today, and it left little rock like objects in my smoothie :-( I thought I had gotten all of the seeds out today, but I was wrong.  I guess oranges are meant to juice and not to smooth.

Day 10

Hey everyone, this is going smooth. I am starting to really look forward to giving you guys some recipes here in another 20 days. Just a note, I take breaks from this diet on holidays and special occasions. The 8th of this month is my daughters birthday, which is next Thursday. I will be taking that day off as well. Here's another day of healthy living! Cheers!

If you haven't checked out my other website you should check it out today! ;-) Hypnosis in Chico

Day 9

I was looking forward to smooth today. Until I made up a strange concoction that I now have to suffer through :-( Tomorrow will be much better!

Day 7&8

Well folks, on Friday I totally forgot to blog. However, the smoothie thing is going great! I am looking forward to having these breakfasts. Much more so, than I was about juicing. I think one of the reasons why is because of the whole pain/pleasure principle. I am seeing this smoothie transition as pleasurable, since the food is so healthy, and so yummy. I am still juicing before dinner every night too (except for Saturdays), which is still a little difficult to motivate myself through. The one thing that creates resistance, is all the cleanup and prep work that is involved in making these dietary changes. However, I have see four of my abs, which is a great motivator to continue working on the 6 pack for summer ;-)

Day 6 Smooth Sailing

This morning I had extra time to do everything that needs to be done. I even slept in for 2 hours! It is interesting how fatigue affects a persons motivation. I have been eating more lately too, because of a minor back injury that occurred from standing on my head to show off to someone. I guess what I am learning through yoga should not be abused by my ego ;/

Day 5 Self Sabotage

Well, I almost messed up today. I forgot to go shopping last night, and ended up with no almond milk for my smoothie this morning :-(  Furthermore, I only have one banana left! Fortunately, I found a can of condensed milk in the cupboard to save the day! That was a close call, and a strong reminder than not having a plan is planning to fail. I will have to take appropriate measures in the future to make sure I am fully stalked up on my yummy almond milk.

Day 4

This morning was another tough one. Last night I didn't juice before dinner, and I ended up struggling with heart burn all night. I stuck to it even though I was craving bacon and eggs like you wouldn't believe. Its a good thing I have dedicated myself to this blog, or I may not have gone through with it today. Anyhoo, I have made it through another day ;-)
