Day Two

I did it, I made it through day one of my green juice fast/cleanse.  I wasn't even hungry, which is so weird because I am always hungry.  No exaggeration. I think that stuff is thick enough and full of so much veggies and fiber that it just hangs around in there awhile.  Anyhoo, day two, I'm at work today so I'm hoping my stomach won't make scary growling noises and embarrass me.  Lost two pounds overnight, I'm not stupid, I do know that it's not "real" fat, but I don't care cuz it's the bloat I'm gunning for this time. 

I finished off the big bottle of Odwalla this morning, Liv absconded with a glass yesterday so I didn't actually drink the whole bottle myself.  I'm going to grab a Naked in the cafeteria today (can't wait to see how much that little bottle will run me down there) and start the second large bottle from home after work.  Since Mike's out of town this week it's been easier than it would have been otherwise.  The little guys are happy with whatever I put in front of them for dinner so last night they had a box of Annie's Mac and Cheese and pigs in a blanket with li'l smokies and crescent rolls.  Gross right?  At least I had absolutely no desire to eat it, although I almost shoves a spoonful of mac into my mouth before I remembered.  It would have been really sad to ruin an almost complete fasting/cleansing day with a mouthful of boxed mac and cheese.

Today...

Jack had a dental appointment and he said it "hurt sooooooo bad".  He's still not done with the dental work from his BMX accident, which was two years ago tomorrow.

That was one of those days I want a do-over on.  I would change that day by saying "No, Jack, you may not go to the skate park and knock your front tooth out and chip most of the other permanent teeth in the front of your mouth and then have expensive and painful dental procedures done for the next 5 years."  That is verbatim what I would say.

Then we came home and made 5 half pints of the bestest blueberry jam I have ever had.  No lie.  I was not aware I was an awesome canner until just this month.  I canned 8 jars of super delicious strawberry jam a couple weeks ago and now I am obsessed with thinking about some delicious combinations of fruits to make into jam.  Strawberry rhubarb is next, which I obviously did not think up myself.

Speaking of food, I started a three day green juice cleanse fast today.  So far I'm not hungry, although I did augment with a bit of watermelon.  I do not have a juicer and didn't really want to invest in a piece of kitchen equipment I may never use again.  So I'm using Naked Truth Green Machine and Odwalla Original Superfood.  They are so much better tasting than they look.  They would have to be because they look like algae sludge.  They are thick enough to make me feel not starving, so that's good.  I've been gastronomically BAD for a while now, I'm hoping to knock off a bit of the bloat before heading to Cannon Beach next week.  We are staying at the RV Resort for the week of the Fourth.  I'm excited...the weather is supposed to be lovely so I'll keep my fingers crossed.  I love Cannon Beach, literally, I Love Cannon Beach.  It's enough like a California Beach to make me feel a little bit homesick.  Yay for vacations!
