day 1

not the best start to the juicefeast. i woke at 5.30am with an upset stomach. well maybe that was my body's way of reminding me why i'm doing this; to clean up my act, big time.

we started the day with msm-lemon water and i've already decided to have the msm and lemon in a half pint of water and drink the rest of the 'upon rising' 2 pints as just straight water. doesn't spoil my water that way.

made the first juice of the day somewhat on autopilot - perhaps i was distracted by the divine vanilla beans which arrived this morning. thanks dhrumil! so i did it in the juicer, rather than the blender-nutmilk bag way, but my juicer is pretty good at juicing greens and we got 2 pints (1 quart) of juice out of 1 head celery, 3 apples, 2 small pears, large bag spinach, cucumber and bunch mint. the mint is for me, to take the edge of the celery which i hate with a passion. yeah, i know. a head of celery a day for the next 91 days *is* going to be interesting. i also added some green superfood at the end. 

we went out shopping and were starting to feel light-headed, so we had a half pint of juice each at a juice bar. when we got home we had a lemon balm infusion and went for a nap. YummyHubby is, as i type, still in bed, snoozing off his detox headache.

made a mid-afternoon melon-ginger juice as a pick-me-up before i got on with a few chores. 'dinner' was carrot-apple-orange juice with the pollen i forgot to take earlier in the day.

rounded off the day with a lavender and epsom salt bath and another herbal tea. very relaxing.

so, how was day 1 for me? well, i didn't get enough green juice today, i know that, and apart from the walk into town, i didn't do any exercise. so, no, i don't mean to go on as i started!
