Today was my first day (actually half day) of my juice fast. I had coffee and a bagel for breakfast before I went out to run errands which included grocery shopping.
I bought a LOT of fruits and veggies!
broccoli
spinach
cucumbers
apples
pears
strawberries
blackberries
pinapple
watermelon
cantelope
honeydew
dill
carrots
..... more, but i forgot..
Anyway, I made my first juice:
spinach, cucumber, strawberries, apple
It was delicious!
After that I went to the gym and walked for an hour on the treadmill. I just got home and made another juice:
broccoli
spinach
cucumber
garlic
lemon
dill
That was good too!
I have read that you aren't supposed to leave juice for more than 30 minutes after juicing it. So what should I do for juice at work? I already packed up tea to bring in, but I will probably need juice at some point during the day, right? I have water bottles that I can fill with juice, but will the small amount of air that gets in "ruin" the juice?
Anyway, I feel fine now, but I ran to grab tomatoes at the supermarket after the gym, and all I saw was rice, pasta, bread, and easter candy... it was rough. I really hope I can push myself to do this.
On the bright side, I weighed myself today and my pre-fast diet helped me to lose 2 pounds! So right now I am at 170.
OK, well I'm about to watch 28 weeks later with my fiance, that should help me keep my appetite at bay..

HI there,
I'm getting married this year too - it's a great motivator, and your list of fruit and veg sounds really wholesome and healthy - they will be packed with vitamins and minerals.
Wishing you lots of willpower and vision to make the next few months really positive. I know if you're anything like me, the thought of the big day is amazing, and you want to look your best for it (and the beach honeymoon - terrifying).
I guess we just have to take each day as it comes and make what we do count for the better.
Good luck!!
