We’ve now crossed into the homestretch. 14 days down, 8 to go. Yesterday, I shared a bit about what we’ve learned. Today, what we’ve felt. (I promise I won’t get too graphic!)
The changes in our health mirror the changes in lifestyle. If this was a hop for me, it was a great leap – think Grand Canyon-sized – for Dave. The changes in our health are commensurate.
I’ve felt lighter, less bloated, and well, let’s just say, I”go” several times a day.
Dave has seen improvements in his propensity for migraines, morning sneezing attacks (we once counted 17 one morning!), and yes, his system is also running at top speed. His migraines have stopped and he’s not had a morning sneezing attack. Woohoo!
We not felt much more energetic and in fact, we do feel a bit drained from time to time. This week we are adding spirulina to our juices to add more protein. This should help with our energy levels.
Small breakthrough today in the juicing department: I made a juice with spinach that tasted reasonably good. It’s my first successful foray into green juicing, although the color was more yellow than green.
Today’s menu included:
Breakfast
- Apple/pear/cantaloupe/sesame seed/ginger/mint juice – not bad
- Chai Rooibus tea
Snack before yoga
- Avocado
Mid-afternoon snack
- Mango/orange/cucumber/spinach juice – my first with real greens and it was good!
- Almonds
- Figs
Dinner
- Whole grain organic wrap with guacamole
- Spaghetti squash w/tomatoes
- Asparagus
- Dates for dessert
This week we move back to one juice per day and two living food meals. Who knows? Maybe we will continue to juice twice for a day or two.
