It's been an entire week since I ate food. Still feel pretty stinkin' awesome. It is so surprising how just drinking pure fruit juice can be so filling. I have rarely felt hungry this week. Craving food is the hardest part. I want to bite into something crunchy so badly! I think that I will fix veggie tacos whenever we're done with the diet! Mmmm, tacos!
We're still trying out new recipes to change things up, and found a couple of things I do and don't like. It's funny that I loooove V8 so much, but when I've made any tomato juices, I really haven't liked them. Besides our "Mean Green" recipe we have every day for lunch and dinner, I've stuck to the sweeter fruit juices for breakfast and dessert.
Mean Green Recipe - makes about two glasses
6 Kale Leaves
1 Cucumber
4 Celery Stalks
2 Green Apples
1/2 Lemon
1 piece of ginger
After I make my breakfast juice, I make two batches of this to take to work with me. I drink it just about all day long, and usually have enough left over for a small glass for dinner. Alan does the same recipe and adds some jalapenos. I've been substituting a lot of the celery for cabbage and really like that.
Wish me luck this week! Pray that I don't go crazy and bite into the next crunchy food I see.
P.S. I lost 9 pounds this week!
