Five Day Juice Feast - Prep & Day 1

Monday, 29 November 2010

As a little pre-holiday season cleanse, I agreed to do a five day juice fast with a friend. Having already done a ten day fast with Darren at the beginning of this year, I figured five days would be doable. Of course, I don't expect a week of rest, relaxation and self-pampering, but I'll try to take it easy and enjoy the experience.

So, on day 1, I slept late, got up and got the kids breakfast and got Flo out the door with Grandma for her ice skating class. Next, I bounced on the rebounder for about 20 minutes, and then made my first juice of the day, which took about a half an hour from start to finish. The juice was less than exciting, but went down fine. The rest of the day progressed fairly similarly, with two more green juices, and a couple cups of peppermint herbal tea. Then I made it to an evening yoga class, and came home with little energy to spare. Day one... complete... four to go!
