Ok so lemonade was not my thing. I couldn't deal with the hunger or boredom of having nothing but maple flavored lemonade. It was doing my head in.
Two months stateside though has thoroughly toxified me and added 8lbs to my gut. Ugh. Time to detox. In steps Jason Vale and his 7lbs in 7 days Juice diet.
What better time than when my cupboards are free from tempting treats and my fridge is empty ready to be filled with fruit and veg.
So yesterday I got out the juicer (I think it's been sitting unused for about as long as I've been married...It was on our registry), and I read his book (very short thankfully and very simplistically written.).
This morning I started my juicing. The juice tastes much much better than I expected. My avocados aren't ripe yet though so I've been using bananas for the smoothie juices. I may stick to it as I really dislike avocado. I'm proud I have made it this far- even if it is only 12 hours in. I have been making food for Gwen all day and I haven't even licked my fingers. Dinner will be a challenge, but I'm keeping it simple for hubby and child. Meat and french fries so I am not even tempted.
That bowl of popcorn sitting next to my sleeping babe is really friggin tempting. I guess I should go make another juice before I give in to temptation.
