Today was a good day, we are still not feeling so hot BUT I am better off then my other half. The poor thing is miserable. I found myself not wanting to drink juice today, I just had a hard time stomaching it today. So I ate a sliced up cucumber and some celery. I think it was just too much with all my drainage. I do know that juicing is why I am not as bad off as my husband. I really wish he would start back drinking the juice, at least once a day. He just loves his food and the juice never made him feel full enough.
I don't think juicing is for everyone and what I told my husband is that if you're dreading the juice then don't stick with it. You will just end up breaking a few days later and go on a binge. You have to want it and appreciate the benefits of it. It really helps me to know that my husband is a lot sicker than I am, I know that sounds horrible, but it makes me want to stick to my plan. I can tell that I am healthier.
I have been thinking about doing a 60 day reboot. I will figure out my end date once I get to day 25. I do know that I want to do a week a month or 15 days every other month. I honestly love this juicing experience, its so refreshing and most of the juices are so sweet, I can say it is so much better than just having a candy bar. It doesn't satisfy you like this juice does. So good.
Today I had Juice by the Twos and Green Mean, they are still my favorites. I have yet to find a good carrot juice. I really need to switch it up a little though, I just really like both of them. I only have to make both juices and it lasts me the whole day, which is awesome.
Happy Juicing Y'all!

Day Eleven
Am I really on day eleven already?
WOW, I have passed the ten day mark, I'm loving this reboot! Today we were under the weather, the kids are fine. Its just the Mr. and I, we have a cold it feels like. I feel good overall though, other than this ick that I am fighting. I am not as bad off as he is though, I think I owe it to all the citrus I've been drinking. This morning I had some Juice By The Twos and this afternoon I had some Peach Pie Juice, yummm. It's such a treat. I did eat something today in hopes that it would make me feel better...wrong. I felt even worse. All this morning I just wanted to curl up in a ball and to go sleep. We watched a ton of movies today, which the kids loved, but I really wanted to take them to the park. That is strike two for horrible parents this week, first it was the failed zoo trip. We watched our first 3D movie, I think it's safe to say she loves 3D movies.

Day Ten
Today was a very nice day out, we had all intentions of going to the zoo but the kids didn't sleep last night. The Big A woke up around three this morning and didn't go back to sleep until almost six, so we ended up scratching that idea and slept in. The whole family slept until almost 11am, that I think is a first! We ended up staying at the house and relaxing in our PJ's all day!
This morning/afternoon I had some Juice By The Twos, its so refreshing. I really enjoy waking up to it. This evening my amazing hubby went out and got some cucumbers so I made some Mean Green, the store that I like to get them for is still out of stock. They told me they are not sure when they will be back in stock, but they didn't have any in the truck coming in tonight. So he went and picked up some that were just as big but they were a dollar each! Ten dollars in cucumbers...I think I know the fist thing I am growing in our small garden that we hope to start up in a few weeks. I can't bring myself to spend close to $60 a month in just cucumbers. That isn't including the ones that the kids like to snack on, they love cucumbers now. I LOVE how my daughter sees me eating these things and she never wanted to touch them before, they weren't in the house regularly before. It is a really good refreshing snack for a summer day. I think we will only grow a few things this year, we live in a tiny apartment that doesn't get much sunlight throughout the day so we are only going to do two things.
Maybe I will even get crafty and mold some into cute shapes??

Day Nine
This morning was therapy day for my daughter, I didn't go to sleep until the wee hours of the morning. I was up cleaning all night, I just had a boost of energy that I decided to use up! Well, the house is spotless and it feels really good. My husband helped a lot also.
Thursdays are normally very hectic for us, so I asked my husband to pick up a pre-made juice from the store last night. Thankfully I had that because I woke up so late that I basically threw on clothes and jetted out the door. So this morning I had Green Goodness, made by Bolthouse Farms.

It was good, it isn't recommended that you drink these everyday. They are heated and that reduces the nutritional value, from my understanding. But to use in a pinch, it is okay. Better to drink this than to go hungry or increase the chances of eating something. It was very good, extremely sweet and stocked full of fruits and vegetables. I think I will have one on hand all the time in case something goes wrong. The little one can't sleep through the juicing. His room is right above the kitchen. The poor things room always smells like food. He can tell whenever we make lunch, it's like his wake up call from nap.
So this morning I had the Green Goodness It was enough for breakfast and a snack and in the afternoon I had some carrot juice that wasn't very good. I am not really a fan of ginger and I can't find any good carrot juices without ginger. I will keep looking, or may possibly make my own?

Weigh In Wednesday
Well its my first official weigh in since starting the reboot, I was so excited to step on the scale this morning.
I am so proud of myself for sticking to it, I just need to get the ball rolling on working out more and going out for a jog, then these pounds will seriously start to melt off me!
I will post my before and after pictures once I have finished the 30 day reboot. I am not looking for a number to aim towards but just to be healthier and not crave the foods that I was prior to starting the reboot. So far I have lost a pound each day, so if it continues like that, then I will be half way to my goal weight! Not getting my hopes up, but I know that I have to work at it also.
This week I am going to work out every other day. It is so hard to fit working out into my already swamped schedule. That is the excuse I have been saying for almost a year now, which is true, but that was before the reboot energy boot that I have gotten. I was so exhausted to even think about working out after the kids went to bed. I just wanted to curl up on the couch and enjoy a movie. Now I am cleaning the house, folding laundry, prepping the next day's meals. Yep, I love this reboot!
I am down SEVEN pounds.

Day Eight
Today I stepped on the scale and I was so excited to see that I had lost weight. I feel amazing, my energy is back I am not craving foods that I normally would. I want juice. I can think clearer and I am over all happier.
This morning I had some Juice by the 2's, with some Mean Green this afternoon. I think those are my two favorite juices. The JBT2's produces enough for breakfast, a snack and some for little Miss to have some. The Mean Green produces enough for lunch, snack for both me and the kids and dinner. So that is five juices total each day, about 16oz for each making 80oz each day of fresh producing I am consuming. I still need to work on hydrating, I am lacking in that department. It is so hard since I am already drinking so much, the thought of drinking more just doesn't appeal to me.
I am still on the hunt for the cucumbers I had the first few days. They were huge and produced the same amount that three of the cucumbers I have now makes. They were 71 cents each, which seems to be a bargain compared to the price/size I am seeing now. The store is sold out of kale and cucumbers, I bought the last of it when I was there over a week ago now. My husband keeps running out for me in the afternoon to see if they stocked anything. So for now, so I don't make a large dent in our bank account, I am going to do carrot juice. Spending 86 cents for one cucumber or $1.69 a pound, its adding up! It's about $18.00 a week in cucumbers alone (compared to about $10 for the ones I purchased last week)! Every penny adds up.

Day Seven
I slept horrible last night, Miss A went in for an evaluation to see if she is eligible for the school's special education program. She wasn't accepted but with all the therapy appointments she has to go to I would never get to see her anyways, so I am okay with that. I just have to get a curriculum together for next year, she is only three so she doesn't have to start school. But she is so smart and wants to learn, plus she has a hard time handling large groups of people so I think the classroom setting will be harder for her. I was hoping she would be accepted so that she could get a jump start on how things will be and learn to process things differently before 4K. We can go back in for a reevaluation after her autism evaluation, but that isn't for another eight plus months.
Anyways, I slept horribly and woke up wishing I could just sleep all day. I drank some Mean Green and then made a new juice for lunch. I found this recipe on the community reboot page, there is a list of recipes for juicing and healthy eating. I have found that page so helpful the past month. While I was looking into everything, it was always my go to page.
The new recipe, Juice by the 2's, has grapefruit, oranges, apple, celery and spinach. It was delicious and very sweet. I normally try to drink my fruit based juices in the morning to give me a kick start. After the day I had I needed it this afternoon, it was a perfect blend of sweetness to get me in a better mood and give me some energy from the lack of sleep.
