Juicing: Day 16

Today's juice:

1/4 bunch kale
3 carrots
3 apples

Time to change it up -- we need something else to juice. Someone suggested beets, cilantro/herb salad mix, and some fruit (which sounds like something I would drink but Stu wouldn't), so I might try that next time I go shopping.

Do you have any good juicing/smoothie recipes?

I think I'll keep trying to add in some cucumber and celery...I just can't stand that strong kale in the background...ugh.

Today I also tried baked "fried" chicken (which did not work - the batter just wouldn't stick and wasn't brown and crunchy, even though the chicken was done), but I didn't have any milk to soak the chicken in, so when we have milk again I'll try it again.

I also made potatoes (boiled them and then broke them up into bits instead of mashing them) and chicken gravy, and I ate green beans and beets with my dinner.

For lunch we ate at our new church building (which is gorgeous!!! Wish we'd had our camera...), and I was surprised to plug it into SparkPeople and find that it did not contain as much fat as I thought.

Tomorrow we go back to two juices a day and then on Thursday we'll probably do a big lunch and then leftovers for dinner. I'm learning portion control and that I really, really don't need to eat two helpings because I'll only regret it later when my tummy hurts.

No exercise today (except for going up and down our stairs) but I plan to jog/walk tomorrow.
