day 7
We're running out of fruit and veg already! I bought a couple of baby watermelons from the greengrocer on my way in to work and made over 2 litres of juice out of them. It was probably too much straight up fruit juice, really, but boy was it good. There is a downside though. It's a potent diuretic so I had to get up three times during the night to pee - my bladder was bursting to the point of discomfort each time, too. Must remember a) not to have quite so much in one go in future and b) to have watermelon juice next time I get PMT.
Today I had:
pineapple juice
watermelon juice
spinach-celery-cucumber-pear juice
day 8
Weigh-in day! YummyHubby(tm) lost 2 pounds and I lost 5 pounds, so we're very happy with progress on that front. My skin is looking good, though I'm concerned about it drying out so I'm keeping up my oil intake. I keep checking in with YummyHubby to make sure he's doing ok and not starving or feeling faint. I'm so pleased with his progress!

wondering if you have read juicefeasting.com.
they recommend a lot more veggie rather than fruit juice. what do you think?
Hi Aimee. Yes, I did the Global Juicefeast earlier this year, and I know we should be having more greens. However, we're going easy on ourselves for the moment. It was really hard to prepare all my juice to take around with me and that would be doubled with two of us doing it this time, so, rather than include an 'issue' right from the start, I'm hoping to lead up to it. Lots of our lunchtime juices are bought from juicebars while we're at work, and they just don't juice greens round here, so we're a bit stuck there!
But thanks for that little nudge. It might remind me I'd said we'd start easy and step it up...
