So I will post this quick just incase.

Put through juicer. Stir. Serve.

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

How is everyone doing today?

Me I'm really happy! Today is day 20 of my juicing. I'm really getting the hang of this & doing really well. My RA is waaayy less in pain & Flair ups. & my SBS is not dictating my daily actions. On an added bonus I've lost 18 lbs in this time.  Woot score for the good guys!!

So for today's Juice I'm giving you another Lemonaid. **Remember real Lemonaid packs a real punch due to the lack of sugar**

Homemade Fruit Punch Juice

Hello all!! I'm so happy today is day 9 for me with my juicing. My dr is very pleased how things are going & so am I. 

So I changed up my breakfast juice today. I wanted to know how grapes would work. Ooo let me tell you grape juice from fresh juiced grapes is AMAZING!! It will be a must do again. 

So I decided to take some of my other fruits and my my own fruit punch minus all the sugars & dyes. It worked out so well. You should totally give it a try!

Homemade Fruit Punch: 

1 apple

1 pear

1 bunch of grapes ( about 30 grapes)

1 orange peeled

Yummmmmmm!!!!!!!

Apple-Orange-Pineapple Juice

Afternoon everyone! How has your Tuesday been? 

Mine has been pretty good. Today I'm at the 1/2 way mark to my first 10 days of juicing!! I think personal that's pretty awesome if I do say so myself. :-)

So here is my day 5 update:

I am finally past the "I want to eat now!" Faze. Most importantly everyone around me survived! 

I went out with the Sister ( my BFF, & partner in crime for most things) could walk around a Walmart & watch her eat out & only have a green tea with honey & I was perfectly okay with that. 

I'm feeling much healthier. My RA is not flairing as bad as well my SBS has only bothered me once in 5 days. That's a new record! "Dr. B" is very pleased how things are looking. I've also lost 3 lbs since last week. Woohoo!!!

So here is today's juice:

Apple-Orange-Pinapple 

2 apples

2 oranges (pealed to only the inside whte part)

2 large chunks of Pineapple (pealed & cored)

1 piece of ginger

Very yummy!!

The Mean Green Juice

Ok so I'll update ya'll Tia far on how things are going. 

#1. I dislike not eating. I did not realize how addicted to processed refind foods I was. 

#2. Withdrawling from refined process foods is so freaking not cool! It's a whitch. Not the good whitch of the east kind of whitch. The mean horrible ugly kind. 

#3. I have another 36 hours before the withdrawal goes away. Woohoo come on clock tick faster :)

#4. I notice all the food commercial now on TV. Thank goodness for PVR so I can fast forward them :)

#5. Now this is prolly way too much TMI, so be forwarned! I have yet to use the bathroom for a #2.  Ok that's kind of a huge deal for me since on a normal day I live in the head. "Dr. B" says this just goes to show how nutriently deprived I am. Because I've had almost 2 days of straight fruit/vegg & not gotten sick. Huh. Maybe she's on to something here. 

So that's where I'm at so far. Today I added the Mean Green to my juices. It's suppose to be the main juice you have everyday. 

Mean Green:

1 bulk of Kale

4 stalks of celery

1 cucumber 

2 Granny Smith apples

1/2 lemon peeled

1 piece of ginger thumb size

* I added 2 carrots to sweeten it up. 

All Green Lemonade- Juice

Ok so here is Juice #3 for you today, All green lemonade. Now when I saw this one I was like oh that should be good. As my brain instantly when to the processed sugary juice I love to have. 

This was so not the case! This was sour! Like wow kind of sour. I bulked at it. Was like oh hell no! Then I remembered sour triggers the enzymes for digestion. This is something I need so down it went. Success!

This is what is in All Green Lemonade:

3 handfuls of freshSpinach

6-8 Kale leaves

1 green apple

1/2 a cucumber 

4 stalks of celery 

1/2 a lemon peeled

In total it makes about 20 oz's. 

 

 

Apple-Carrot-Beat Juice

As promised I'm back!!

So this is my second Juice of the day. 

It consists of

1 apple

2 beats

3 carrots

1 piece of ginger (thumb size)

Spinage/Kale optional. I added half a bunch of Spinage.

Yup it turs out that red!

It was ok. I liked breakfast more. Maybe I should have used a bigger apple. Needed a bit more sweet. 

So I'm not feeling hungry which is good, nor have I needed my SBS meds yet. Woohoo! What I am is tired. Very tired lol. 

But that's ok. I knew that was coming. My body has started the detox process.

I'll be back after lunch to share the next Juice with you. 

Dr's Orders to get Juicing!!

Morning all! I've got a lot to share with you. So let's get started. 

First a little background on little ( I mean I. Hight only. I wish I was smaller in the weight department.) 7 years ago I was in a major car accedent. That brought on a plethora of health problems. The big few that are the trouble makers are my rheumatoid arthritis (RA), my pesky spinal cord injury, and lastly (though i had this prior to the accedent, it was just made worse) I am a suffere of Shortened Bowle Symdrome (SBS). 

Let's just put it this way I am a hot mess when it comes to my health. Which is what has brought me here to yesterday's follow up appointment. 

My awesome specialist we will call her "Dr. B" had some very disturbing news for me yesterday. Both my Intestines & Spine are degenerating faster then they should. ( So not good or cool might I add.) But never to just give me the bad news & split she had my options all ready for me. 

Option #1. Because the spine degeneration is due to my RA I could go back on an extensive round of "chemical therapy" again to recrash my immune system & hope it slows things down. 

Ok so that's not a favorite choice I've done that twice now in the last 7 years. I never really wanna go back to being that sick again. So I asked what was my other option?

Option #2. Start juicing! 

I beg your pardon did you just say start juicing?!? I must not of heard her right. So I asked again.. Pardon?

Apparently I did not hear her wrong. Study's have shown that "doing a juice cleanse" for a minimum of 10 days can help reboot your immune system. The catch you live on nothing but juice. You clean your system of all the processed junk which allows it to have a brake and detoxify. Which is huge since juicing I do not need to digest anything (I can not anyways & it's always painful) will give my insides a brake as well. 

After talking to "The Man" he said do whatever I needed to do. No questions asked. I watched a suggested video called: "Fat Sick Nearly Dead" by Joe Cross. It is a total must see!

In the end I chose to juice. I will start with the 10 days. What I really hope to do is go the whole program of 60 days. 

My Plan is to post my progress along with each juice recipe I use. 

Apple-Pear

1 apple

2 pears

1 piece of ginger ( thumb size) 

Place in juicer & enjoy!!

I'll be back around snack time to post the next one for you. But this one was a great morning breakfast. 

**Please Please if you chose to do something like this do it under the care of your Doctor.**
