Day 3 is HARD!
I woke up with less energy and did not work out today. I have decided to go slow and focus on my mental health today. Staying close to home, cleaning, prepping for Christmas and baking lunch kit goodies for the week. Its funny, I have no desire to cheat and try my goodies, this is a GOOD thing :) I often bake for my kids, but never eat it myself. Honestly I'm craving protein, not carbs.
I only made three juices today because I did't finnish two from yesterday, probably because I added a second smoothie in the evening.
Todays Juices
~ 1/2 of a purple cababge, 1/4 of a pineapple, 4 celery stalks, a nip of ginger and a lime
~ 1 bunch of kale, 1 pear, 1/2 cup pineapple and a nip of ginger
~ 1 grapefruit, 1 lime, 1 parsnip, 1/2 a bunch of celery
Todays Smoothie
1/2 cup raspberries, 3 cups spinach, 1/2 banana, splash of unsweetened almond milk, 1/4 avocado, maca, cinnamon, chlorella powder.
Water, tea and a kombucha
Can't wait for tomorrow...
Okay, i'm doing it!
A seven day juice feast! I love to detox and reset my body in December. Instead of filling up on holiday goodies, I am choosing to nourish and love my body with easy to digest live foods. I know how delicious holiday treats are, but for me juice feasting is a positive way to say no thanks to the extra pounds and the nasty feelings that comes with them. I am going to feel great and might even inspire others to join me? :)
My past experiences with juicing and my rumbling tummy are reminding me how challenging the first three days can be. Once day four arrives I know I will feel amazing, my skin and eyes will start to look clearer and my energy will soar. So bottom line, it is well worth it.
Angela's Plan...

For anyone joining the holiday cleanse, please drink as much fresh juice as your body is asking for, with a maximum of about 7-8 juices per day. I find the feast works better for me if I have one smoothie per day, the added fibre helps.
Daily supplements - wild salmon fish oil (6 caps), hemp oil (2 tbsp), vit D, vit C, 2 garlic caps, Bio K, multi vitamin, zinc, B12, 2 tbsp raw apple cider vinegar and about three litres of lemon water.
