Hi everyone! Sorry I've been gone for a while...things have been incredibly hectic over on my side of the world. There have been so many things going on and I could go on forever about good and bad stuff...but I won't. For the next 3 days, I'm going to blog about my personal experience with my 3 day "Reboot" juice fast. Have you ever heard of juicing? If you haven't, I STRONGLY recommend you watch this movie:

It's about 90 minutes long, and you can watch it online for free. If you have netflix, you can also watch it on netflix instant play. It's seriously a life-changing, eye-opening movie.
Anyway, a while back the hubby and I watched the movie and decided to do a juice fast. We lasted less than two days. As much as I LOVE Beachbody products and Shakeology, juicing seemed to be on a whole other level. I kept wanting to try to do the fast again, but I was two scared. Finally, the hubby and I decided to try again...just for 3 days, over a weekend when we wouldn't be tempted. So, yesterday I went out and bought $50 worth of fruits and veggies, and today we began.
So here goes. Day One.
Today was horrible. I'm not gonna lie. I had juice for breakfast and made the mistake of juicing Kale (which is amazing for you...but if you're not used to the taste, do NOT put it in juice) which made the drink just nasty. I packed more juice for lunch but couldn't bring myself to drink it because I knew the kale was in there. I drove around for work for a while, and was amazed that I didn't just stop somewhere and get food. I wasn't HUNGRY, but I wanted FOOD sooooo badly. I wanted to eat everything in sight. Luckily, after work I went out with my friend Scott to a great museum exhibit. He gave me a big bottle of ice cold water which kept me busy.
After, I came home to find my hubby already here. I made a huge batch of veggie juice and a huge batch of fruit juice to drink tonight and tomorrow morning. As of this time, I've had about 10 almonds (I had to, it was that or freaking out and going through a drive thru), juice and a lot of water. And I'm feeling good. Tomorrow's supposed to be when detox symptoms start to get bad, so we'll see! I'm excited to actually finish this. I'm mostly blogging about it to keep myself accountable :-D.
Have you ever juiced? Or fasted? What has your experience been?
