day 2

not such a great start to the day: headache and mucho mucous. both faded and returned on and off throughout the day. for breakfast made the greenest juice ever, not kidding it was a really dark forest green. i did the blender-strain method with a head of romaine, head of celery, 2 apples, 4 pears. it was really quite unpleasant; to me it tasted of grit and celery. need to find a way to get my greens and enjoy them.

went for a run after 'breakfast' which was quite short and slow, too. haven't been out for a couple of weeks cos of a chest infection, so i hadn't expected much. still, i really need to improve this week, i've got a race next saturday.

after i'd phoned mum and dad (it's mother's day here in the UK) i went out to get yet more supplies. i can't get over how much fruit and veg i'm going to need. i went to a cheaper shop than where we usually go and found they have lots of great offers on and a good range of organic fruit & veg. so i'll be stopping by a couple of times a week to top up on my weekly organic box. as much as i love the weekly box for being local, straight from the farm and so on, it's not cheap and there's no way i can store a whole week's worth of juicefeast supplies in our fridge, it's just not feasible!

when i got home i treated myself to a pure pineapple juice, which is one of my favourite things ever. it's creamy and sweet, just like a shake. yum!

and now it's time to wind down with my last juice of the day; this morning's greens with carrot, apple and pear, to make it more palatable. YummyHubby is making dinner; he broke his mini-feast earlier today with some fresh fruit, and is going to try again the weekend after next, but we need to make much more juice to keep us going.

overall it wasn't a bad day, but i can't say it was the best day ever. let's hope the headaches fade tomorrow :)

update: overcome with killer headache and nausea, i went to bed at 8pm. before i fell into a deep, deep sleep,  i set the intention to have a better day today.
