Juice Cleanse (day 3)


Wooo woke up feeling good today :) I woke up around 7am and had the first Green Lantern, plus a BIG cup of green tea, right away. After that I went for a quick workout, lifted some weights for 20 minutes and swam moderate pace for about 30 minutes.


After working out I went to pick up my dad's birthday present from Target - I got him this Nespresso Espresso Machine and Milk Steamer (has anyone used this one before?? is it good? I hope so!). I got back home around 10:30am feeling pretty hungry and had the Haute Lemonade.

I was out for a couple hours and was feeling hungry AGAIN when I got back, so I had the Maroon Five juice right away. This helped but it seems like today the juices aren't keeping me full as long and I feel more hungry through out the day.

Craving Chipotle right about now.... big time.

A couple hours later, after working, I decided to have my second Green Lantern juice and wrap my dad's present. This was tasty but only filled me up for about 45 mins :( wahhh.


Almost gave in and made some food for dinner, but I want to stick it out to see how I feel (different, better??) if I complete the full 3 days. Had the second Maroon Five at about 6pm. Fairly satisfying, but I'm starting to feel ready for something I can actually chew.

Drank my final (YAY) juice around 8pm. Feeling kind of tired in general today but hopefully that translates in to being refreshed once I start eating normally again.

More thoughts on the cleanse as a whole to come, but thats all for now. Woo I did it!

Juice Cleanse (day 2)


Good morning! So today I woke up feeling a little hungry, but once I had the Green Lantern juice right after waking up at 7am I felt good.

I kind of lost track of time while I was on the computer, big surprise, so I ended up having the second juice a little later than I meant to, at about 10am instead of 9am. By this time I was starting to feel a little hungry again but the spicy lemonade definitely helped. Does anyone else feel like spicy food always fills you up faster?? I guess its true of spicy drinks too. Yesterday I was worried that this one might get more spicy from the cayenne sitting in the water but it doesn't seem any hotter than before.

Ok I think this cleanse process is definitely having an effect on my tastebuds. Not sure if it will last but at least for now they seem different! Yesterday when I had the Maroon Five juice I wasn't crazy about it but today I swear it tasted like a Cherry Limade from Sonic. I might be losing it over here!!

Had the second Green Lantern after leaving a meeting at about 3:30pm. It was just in time because I was for sure getting hungry, luckily my stomach wasn't rumbling too loudly in the meeting!

Went for about an hour long walk / run with the dog when I got home, then had the second Maroon Five when we returned around 5.


Had the Cashew Dream at about 8pm (remember to SHAKE WELL - all the vanilla bean sunk to the bottom, check out the picture haha!). Today was pretty good but I was noticeably more hungry than day one. Plus I was basically torturing myself watching the Food Network and looking at Pinterest, which didn't help. Hopefully tomorrow goes smoothly :)
