It's day 5 of juicing and I am on an almost-all raw diet. I get up easier in the mornings, and I have more energy, but I'm still a little tired, although I'm sleeping almost all the way through the night now.
Today's juice was:
1/2 carton organic spinach
1/2 carton strawberries
4 carrots
3 apples
It was, again, really fruity and really tasty, though not like the apple-tasting juice we had yesterday.
We are going to two juices/day (breakfast/lunch) either tomorrow or Friday, and then after a week of that we'll try going all three meals...
I can tell I've already lost some weight in my face, and my clothes are a bit bigger...time to find an exercise routine so I can tone. This weekend I'll probably go hiking (Saturday) and maybe a few brisk walks (Sunday/Monday). Time to get out the camera, as well, so we can a) document our juicing and b) take some pretty fall photos!
I found a new project I want to do that will be easy for my beginner sewing skills...someone made a Harry Potter Quilt Bag...I know the rudiments of quilting, embroidery and sewing so I feel up to the challenge. Now to figure out what I want all the patches to be!!
I'm also still going to be working on the skirts...I need to get my iron from a friend's house so I can iron the front crease and then I need to make the ruffles and sew them on, but that's easy peasy. And then hopefully the skirt will come together and I can make the two others. I'll be going through my wardrobe to make a pile of fabric for other clothes as I lose weight...I am going to have to alter some of clothes. Yay sewing projects!
Haven't written any of my NaNoWriMo today but I'm hoping to do that this afternoon when it's less busy in the office. I might just put my novel on a thumbdrive and take it home to write on my computer.
...Still need to practice harp, but voice is going well - I've got one song done (and in repertoire), and one almost done, and a new one (ITALIAN ARIA!!!!!)...yaaaaay! I love voice.
I'm also praying about and thinking about the Aspirant process and how to do all of that in the midst of attempting to keep a clean house (failing this week), getting healthier physically, and taking time to work on things I enjoy. WHEW.
Also, I'm looking forward to the holidays because...the Harry Potter extended editions will run on ABC around Christmas, as they usually do. Exciting!!!
Hope everyone else has a little less busy month than I am....thank goodness I get most of Thanksgiving week off!
