Drinking a… Salad?

If you know me and you know me well, you’ve probably heard me say that I’m getting my summer body ready for the past 2 years. No worries, I’m getting there! Over the spring break my roommate convinced a hall-mate and me to watch a documentary on juicing entitled ‘Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead’. It was VERY inspiring and informative to say the very least.

The film revolves around Joe Cross who is diagnosed with a debilitating autoimmune disease. Cross is on steroids and quite frankly he has ran out of options. So, he decided to let his body ‘heal itself’ by juicing. He vowed to drink only fresh fruit and vegetables for 60 days. Yup, you read correctly, ONLY juice, no meals in between.

Feeling very motivated after watching the film, we concluded that a lifestyle change was definitely what we needed. We decided that we were going to juice! I was so excited and ready to partake of my first juiced beverage. At first I was apprehensive as I had no idea how the combination of spinach, carrots, celery, apple, oranges, flax seed and almonds was going to taste. I had no clue about any adverse effects it may have on my body.

I said a quick prayer and said bottoms up! (Even though it took me about 3 hours to finish one glass :-/ )

That was a 2 weeks ago.

Yesterday, I officially embarked on my 30 day juicing challenge and it only took me about 20mins to drink the apple, carrots and celery combo! I am determined to see what my results will be in the next 29 days.

Day 1 of Juicing Challenge :D
