Day 2 of 7: Bubblegum Juice :)

I have made it through days 1 and 2 of my Jason Vale juicing plan! 

Update on day 1: I'm not gonna lie, last night was tricky. For awhile there I had to pace back and forth to keep myself moving so that I wouldn't walk into the kitchen and start cooking something lol. I also had a hard time with the juices that have avocado blended into them. Now, I LOVE avocado on it's own. It is pretty much one of my all time favourite things to eat, hands down. But I am NOT a fan of it blended into a juice, as so many of the recipes call for on the 7 lbs in 7 days plan. In my opinion, it ruins a perfectly good juice by making it all slimy, and also ruins my beloved avocado! Just a no-win situation all around :( So after making all my juices/blends yesterday by the book, and choking down the slimyness, I decided instead to make my juices and just drink them that way, and save the avocado and eat it alongside my supper juice for suppertime every day. So with that in mind, I juiced my flasks of juice for today without the avocado in them.

Day 2: Today was Day 2, and the juices were awesome. I haven't had my supper avocado yet, but I am really looking forward to it! It is going to taste soooo good!
Anyway, I went to make my evening juice, and realized I was bored with the JM Super Juice from yesterday, and decided to swap it out for the Parsnip N Pear juice (this recipe is on JV's 5 lbs in 5 days plan, by the way, but he says you can switch some of the juices around). I guess I wasn't sure how much mint was meant by "4 sprigs" as the recipe said, and anyway long story short it was way too much mint and the mint overpowered the juice and it came out tasting exactly like spearmint bubble gum, and a pale green mint colour too! Lol. This wasn't exactly what I had in mind. I like spearmint gum but it was just not a flavour I wanted to drink in a supper juice. But it was ok I guess. Just not what I was hoping for. I'd made the recipe before one time but didn't have any mint and it turned out fantastic, so next time I'll likely leave out the mint. Luckily I bought a whole bag of pears and a small bag of parsnips, so I can do a remake lol.

So at the end of day 2, I am feeling much, much better, less bloated and way more happy in general, and way more energetic. I went for a run tonight in the snow and it was lovely. So today's exercise was cardio instead of weights. usually i do weights on Mondays but I did not today for 2 reasons: I am still very sore from work on Saturday, and the other one is that I didn't want to be too hungry and risk failing on my plan. I need to make it to day 3 and beyond before I do a weights workout or I won't have the energy. So by Wednesday I should be all set to do my weights again.
