Three Weeks So Far!
So I've made it three weeks so far and overall I'm very happy with both my results and my overall well being.
Today I'm tired though so I'm going to go take a nap.
I did do a video though :)
Keep it, juicy :)

Tips for the Beginner
Today is Day 19 of my 60 Day Juice feast. Woo hoo! How exciting!
I remember that three weeks ago I was excited and a bit scared to try juicing, but I am really glad that I did. Now I have more energy, I feel better and I've lost a bit of weight. How cool is that?
Anyway..here are my tips for the beginner.
1. Don't juice the same thing everyday. When you drink the same thing over day, you'll get bored.
2. Don't be afraid to try new fruits and veggies. You never know where your new favorite may be found. For me, it was collard greens, radishes and green peppers. :)
3. When trying out new fruits and veggies in a juice, use a small amount. Some veggies are very strong tasting and can over power a juice.
4. If you don't like a vegetable, don't juice it. I do not like celery in juice so I don't juice it.
5. Be sure to have enough produce on hand. Nothing sucks more than to run out of fruits and veggies. It takes about a pound of produce to make 8-12 ounces of juice so be sure you buy enough.
6. Shop the sales. Juicing doesn't have to be expensive and most stores have circulars that they mail out with what's on sale.
7. Make sure you are drinking enough water. I try to drink half of my body weight in water everyday.
8. Make sure you are drinking enough juice. Some fasts suggest 84-96 ounces of juice a day.
9. If you get hungry, eat an apple or break your fast with a juice 'soup' or raw meal. Being hungry isn't fun and juicing should be fun :)
10. Have fun! Juicing IS fun! One thing I love is all the different flavors and combinations that you can make with juice.
