Weight Lost: 0 lbs
It appears that to prepare for a juice fast, or any fast for that matter, one should really take into consideration that the "fresher, the better." I was a little disappointed to find that the blueberries I wanted to use today were drying out. Apparently, I had decided that purchasing some produce a week or so in advance would save me some time. That is not the case. I didn't get as much juice as I thought and my apples were tart (since it was not in season, I bought it from the store).
Overall, I'm enjoying my breakfast. I woke up rather late so I plan on running before work. A whole 10-minutes! Yey! I feel good at the moment. Not hungry at all. I'm quite content.
LUNCH: Done! I like that I can quickly make my "meals" and have on less thing to worry about throughout the day. I know I'll be hungrier than usual but I'm going to be just fine. The taste is quite sweet which is nice. Of course, it's gulping down vegetable juice is something I'll have to really get used to. It's no milkshake...okay. Thinking 'healthy' now!

Next up: DINNER.
This is called the Mean Green (minus the cucumber). I'm learning that it is quite difficult juicing kale and therefore should be followed by something like an apple and in this case, lemon. I'm very about how refreshing my apartment smells after. The taste is not as bad! I really enjoy it actually.
