Day 4: Success
Success Rate: 75%
Okay, okay, I know that today isn't over yet, but I'm pretty sure I'm done eating for today, so I'm calling this one a success.
I started the day with a planned juice fast. There was just one problem, well, two problems really.
Problem the first: The fruits and vegetables I had were pretty dry, so I was not getting much juice out of them at all. This makes for a pretty poor juice fast, when you juice three hands full of spinach, an apple, and 5 carrots, and I barely got a glass of juice out of it.
Problem the second: I didn't feel like going to the store to buy fresher vegetables.
So, I ended up eating a few solid food items towards the end of the day, but I followed the challenge anyway.
So here's the food:
Breakfast
Juice. 5 carrots. 3 handfuls of spinach. 1 apple.
Lunch
Juice. 6 carrots. 3 handfuls of spinach.
Mid afternoon snack
I made some eggs for this. Just a couple of eggs, mixed in with some pesto, and some parmigiana cheese (yeah, I don't like the standard boring eggs that some people like to eat). They were good, and a quick little snack.
Dinner:
I made up some brown rice, which is good enough by itself, but then...
I mixed up some carrots (lots of carrots today!) and some onions, sauteed them in olive oil, with sesame oil, Mongolian fire oil, and soy sauce. It became super delicious, and would have been great by itself.
I then tossed in the brown rice, and a little more soy sauce. Yum. Yum. Yum.
So now I'm stuffed, and don't quite feel like moving. But seriously, tomorrow morning, I need to grab some vegetables for juicing, because that really is great for you.
Overall, a successful day, though that's pretty easy when you are at home, and half of the day is spent juice fasting.
