So I have been concentrating on nutrition for about a month now, trying something new: fruits and vegetables! Borrowed a juicer from a friend, and I am trying to be healthier by focussing on on fruits and vegetables. Now, don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against meat – some of my best friends are, wait, that wasn’t gonna work. Well, I certainly won’t turn down a great steak dinner (call me!). But I am focussing on fruits and veggies, mostly juicing, and how I feel. So far, so good. And Rick got me a brand new Champion 2000 juicer that came a couple days ago, and I want to keep track of what I am doing and how I feel. So there may be numerous posts in a day, or I may skip a few, but I really want to keep track of my consumption. Sorta feels like Temple Builders – tracking my food – but I am serious about the healthy thing. God has blessed me with good health at this time and I want to do my part in trying to maintain that. And I certainly can’t hurt that by adding the produce. I am slightly concerned about protein, so this is really trial and error and we will see.
Today, after coffee and million grain (not really) wheat/berry bread with nutella, my first juice is: 1 pear, 2 plums, 1 gala apple = Yummm!
4 Carrots, a hunk of fresh pineapple and a few spinach leaves ~ in a frosty glass, thank you!
2 plums, a red apple and a pear! Will probably snack on some mixed honey-roasted nuts while waiting for CJ at a choir rehearsal and of course my 3rd large sonic ice water of the day! That keeps everything in good working order if you know what I mean!
Spinach, crumbled bleu cheese, walnuts and dried cranberries added some protein to end the day!
