Juicing: Day 8

Today's juice is probably my favorite so far:

1/2 carton spinach
1/3 of a cucumber
3 apples

There's just a *hint* of cucumber, and the drink is a pretty green color. It's sweet, and I saved the pulp (the least amount of pulp we've had) for some crackers or bread to make later in the week.

I organized the closet last night but hardly got anything done today because of allergies (because of cleaning out the closet...SIGH). The winter clothes got put away too, so it's officially fall!

I cleaned the kitchen today and am cooking beans on the stove for chili tonight. Since Stu wanted ground chicken in it, I'm eating an herb salad (spinach, lettuce, cilantro, and a few other types of leaf) with organic tomato soup. Mmmm!

I still need to write and practice music, so I guess I better go do one of those now...

I shelled some peas and put up a quart in the freezer, and I also sliced up our strawberries and froze about 2 1/2 quarts. I am loving the freezing thing. Hopefully next week we'll be able to put up more since our Co-Op is getting fresh, organic produce (all the greens are organic!!).

I am noticing that we both feel better and are less tired, although we do get hungry around 3. I've been eating a few crackers and dip, or veggie sticks and Stu will eat a piece of fruit, so we are working on choosing healthier alternatives.

The other thing I've noticed is that we don't pick up sweets at the store any more. Stu wanted a Kit-Kat today but refrained, and we didn't buy chips or soda either. My body doesn't seem to want 'fake' sweets or meat right now, and hardly any carbs - I eat a few crackers and I'm good.

It's been nice to see our eating habits change while slowly going toward a mostly/all juice diet (for the next few months). I'm hoping this is a continuing trend.
